What is meant by "Rec-Intermediate Level"? Some players will have played high school ball, played in a
weekly league or have entered weekend tournaments. Some teams will run a volleyball 'system' (6-2 or 5-
1), but others will be more spontaneous in their organization. You should be prepared for spiking, and
spirited play, but the idea is that no-one will take winning too seriously.

The cost per team is $150 - maximum 12 teams for this tournament. Each team is guaranteed 8 games
between Friday night and Saturday. Teams can have a maximum of 9 players, and 2 of each gender must be
present on the court at all times. The first 12 teams to send Heritage their deposit of $50 (balance due on
January 28th before tournament begins) will secure their spot in the tournament. The deposit is non-
refundable. Please address cheques to "Heritage College & Seminary," and put "Volleyball Tournament
Fundraiser" on the memo line. Please put all inquiries or cheques to the attention of Katie Valade.

We will be expecting that you will arrive as a team and will have your team set before the tournament
begins. We will need the name of each team's captain, contact information, as well as a team name. If
anyone is without a team, we can try to find a team for you, but it is easiest for you to organize a team for
yourself, and just let us know who the captain is and their information.

If anyone has a question, or needs more information, please contact Katie Valade at
kvalade@heritagecollege.net.
