Day One Session Three Reflection
At the Making the Cut Camp at the end of August 2019 we asked the players to reflect upon some statements.
Below is the statement from the third session of the camp.
Below is the statement from the third session of the camp.
Being part of a team
is a privilege. My behavior reflects on
the team and school or club. I am
accountable to the other team members.
Players were asked to give the statement a number. If you totally agree with the statement give it a 10, if you totally disagree give it a 1. In simple language give the statement a number.
Overall average 9.8/10 There were 77 responses.
10/10
Volleyball is a team sport.
My team looks to me to behave just as I look to my team.
8/10
I know that I shouldn't think like this but I'm often selfish
and want to just play
8/10
I believe that you need a good attitude to win and encourage
others.
10/10
They work hard to be there, so I should respect their hard
work by working hard myself.
10/10
Sometimes it just does be like that.
8/10
We are responsible to be kind to our teammates, but we are
not necessarily responsible for all the actions of our teammates.
8/10
I try to be as accountable as possible for my team but
sometimes during games, I become a little more frustrated than normal and need
my team to be there more than usuals for me.
10/10
If you have bad behavior you bring the team down which wrecks
all the spirit.
10/10
Your actions impact others. If you mess up don’t be mad at yourself and don’t give up.
10/10
You want to be there for your team and help out when you
can.
10/10
Being on your best behavior is very important as it sets a standard for others and playing isn’t a right it is a privilege.
10/10
Everyone on the team plays a role and matters. You are linked to the team so whatever you do
reflects on others.
7/10
A lot of the time it is hard to control your teammates. The most you can be is tell them to stop.
9/10
If you are not acting as you should you should not be able
to play.
10/10
Because if you don’t show up they may not have enough
players.
10/10
Having fun and being positive are great factors to a good
team and mood.
10/10
I think this because if your behavior is bad then it reflects
on to your game when you play.
10/10
We cannot be responsible for other behaviors but we are for
our own. Our attitudes put a mark on our
club. These are our team members so we have to respect them.
10/10
Be respectful to one and other.
10/10
Because volleyball is a team sport and one major thing could
be a positive attitude so your teens can have a strong and good band of teammates
8/10
If you have a negative behavior it can reflect on you and
your team and your club it can also dring down your team. You are always accountable for your actions
10/10
If you are negative the team will be too which may affect
the game
10/10
Everyone on the court and bench should always have a
positive attitude, which will make the team for club or school because positive
attitude is important in all sports.
10/10
I think 10 because you represent your team as an athlete, so
if you are reckless in your behavior it reflects on the club badly.
10/10
Indeed my actions represent the team but also the club. My behavior should be a valuable asset as it affects the whole team in gameplay.
10/10
Being part of the team means you reflect the team affects
the rest of the players.
8/10
Because we are a team but we are also accountable for our
mistakes.
10/10
When playing on a team if people see you acting in a negative way they don’t know who you are but they do see the name of your team
and will think that the team must be all horrible because they see the one person
acting that way
10/10
Your behavior is critical because others reflect off it
having a good attitude is something you should always have.
10/10
Because they decided to pick you for the team.
10/10
Because if I have bad behavior I will bring the team down.
10/10
If you are down you bring everyone else down (I have
personal experience)
10/10
You need to have proper behavior so you can prove yourself
to your coach, teammates, and club
10/10
Best behavior matters because it reflects on the rest of
your team badly.
10/10
Because everyone worked hard to get on the team and I can’t
let them down.
10/10
The way you act around your teammates can reflect on how
they act if you have a negative attitude everyone else will too always stay
positive.
10/10
If you have a negative attitude it will bring the town
down. When you get upset at yourself it will
bring the team down. If you have a positive attitude it will bring the team up
10/10
Because it can give a bad reputation to the team.
10/10
Totally, It only takes one bad attitude to ruin everyone
else’s season
7/10
If my behavior was inappropriate it would probably reflect
on how my team plays
10/10
That’s basically the most important part of being a part of
a team is how you represent it.
9/10
Because when at a tournament you are a team and seen as that
by everyone
10/10
I don’t know but it seems right.
9/10
Your actions always reflect on others on your team no matter
what.
10/10
Your attitude affects the whole team without them and her
respect you wouldn’t be able to play.
8/10
Yes because if you are being mean or rude to your teammates
then it reflects on the team because of your behavior.
9/10
Our behavior reflects on our teams because if one person is
getting down on themselves and others everyone else on the team can sense the tension and the whole team shows
negative energy.
10/10
Volleyball is a team sport.
You can’t win by yourself which is why it is so important to build a
good report with everyone. If your team
is close chances are you will play better.
10/10
I believe that you have to want your spot and earn it, so
it is a privilege
9/10
I agree with this statement because if your attitude is bad
it reflects on others.
9/10
It is mainly 9 because it is very hard to be fully committed
to games, practices and all that.
10/10
Behavior always reflects onto other people whether it is
good or bad behavior. If you have good
behavior the other teammates will feel that and ultimately play better.
9/10
It is very important to have a team that works well together
if the kids don’t like each other or they are fighting the team won’t work well together.
10/10
Because you earn your way on the team and yes it does
because you are influencing others on the team.
10/10
It is something you are committed to like any other team
club or extracurricular. When you
misbehave or don’t show up it does reflect badly on the teams and yourself.
10/10
Yes if I make a team it is because the coach chose me. Many people don’t make a team. The way I act towards others also reflects on
me and now teammates and coaches look at me.
9/10
If you are disrespectful or something then you shouldn’t
play.
10/10
The coaches had no obligation to put you on their team
therefor you need to maintain the attitude that they picked you for one player can bring down a whole team.
10/10
I think that you have to want to be on a team, it is a
privilege. Behavior shows on the court
and you see people true colors on the court.
10/10
Yes If you are mean to other teams the team doesn’t know
your name they know your team name, you’re a team not 12 individuals.
10/10
Yes, it is a
privilege because you earn your place on the team.
10/10
Being on a team and being able to play is
a huge privilege and everyone is in control of their own actions putting others
down won’t help and realize everyone makes a mistake
10/10
Your actions reflect on you and our
teammates and it is a privilege to be part of a team.
10/10
Being on the team is a privilege you earn, by your skills,
effort, and attitude.
10/10
Because playing sports is competitive, but you have to be
positive and kind to everyone. Sports are only fun when everybody is a good
sport.
10/10
Not everyone gets to play on a team. I am very lucky to play on a team if I’m on
one. Being part of a team also means
representing them so my behavior will show other people what our team is like
therefore I should be grateful and respectful.
10/10
There are many people who want to be in your place so you
should take advantage of being on a team and personally I don’t like having to
deal with attitude from teammates.
9/10
To play as a team everyone needs to have a good attitude
because it reflects well on the team.
10/10
There are many people who try out and put in the effort to try
and make a team so if you make it on to a team it is a privilege. You want to put your team the best reputation
and you are responsible for your actions that affect the team.
9/10
To play well las a team everyone has to have a positive
attitude when one person is down, everyone goes down.
10/10
I agree because the members of the team make up the way the
team is thought of and you wan it to be positive.
6/10
Everybody earns their spot on a team as it is not completely
a privilege. The only thing is if you
get a chance to go to camps like this one to continue improving.
10/10
We have to be happy on the team. When we are upset others will be too.
Day One Session two Reflection
At the Making the Cut Camp at the end of August 2019 we asked the players to reflect upon some statements.
Below is the statement from the second session of the camp.
Regardless of my
playing time, I support the team. If my
playing time is decreased, I will work hard in practice to help the team get
better.
Players were asked to give the statement a number. If you totally agree with the statement give it a 10, if you totally disagree give it a 1. In simple language give the statement a number.
Overall average 9.4/10 There were 75 responses.
10/10
You should always support your team no matter what. Know matter how much playing time you get you
should always support.
10/10
Because you are a team and you have to support and pump each
other up. Work hard and play hard.
8/10
If my playing time was decreased I would want to work hard
and prove to my coach they should put me on.
10/10
I believe you should always work hard in practice to improve
your person’s skills and in return benefit the team.
10/10
Being on a team is not about you it is about being a
family. You need to work hard for
something playing time is one of them.
10/10
If I am not good enough to be starting line than I will
support my teammates from the sideline than it gives me something to work for.
10/10
Because to be a team player you need to work with your team
because not only will it help you but everyone else too.
10/10
What’s best for the team is what I always consider. It’s selfish to put yourself above work.
10/10
Even if your playing time gets decreased, if you continue to
work hard, your playing time could get increased.
10/10
Because if I get better my playing time will go up and my
team and I will become better.
9/10
I agree because if you work harder at practice so I can get
better so I can get more court time.
10/10
I believe that you should always be supporting your team and
that should affect your playing time by how you choose to support your
teammates in practice and games.
10/10
If you work hard in practice and show that you are dedicated
and supportive no matter what then your coach may give you more playing time.
10/10
I’d rather not disappoint my team by being played on a bad
day so I will improve in practice and earn my playing time.
10/10
If my play is bad then it is my fault, I should be working
harder to earn my playing time.
10/10
It is important to support your team no matter what or else
it will affect you more.
10/10
Yes because if you are playing bad you have to practice to get
better and help your team.
10/10
If you don’t work hard you won’t get better and you don’t
deserve to play if you don’t put the effort in
10/10
You should always help and support your team in whatever way
you are needed. If your playing time is
decreased work hard is to improve your skills.
10/10
Volleyball is a team sport so if anything I have to be there
for my team.
10/10
If you don’t work hard even if playing time is short. It doesn’t
help to be lazy. You need to work harder to become better and earn playing time.
10/10
I think having a supportive positive team is very
important. Most of the game is mental so
making sure to have a positive mental attitude can help the team’s performance.
10/10
I believe you have to work for what you get, it shouldn’t
just be handed to you. Supporting your
fellow players is so important.
8/10
You should always support your team no matter what. However, you should always work hard in practice to get better even if you are the
best player there is always room for improvement.
10/10
If you have a bad attitude the coach will not play you
because if a player is too upset to focus, it would be like having 5 people on
the court
10/10
When you push yourself in practice it benefits the team and
your skills.
10/10
If I don’t support the team when I play it looks like I don’t
have team spirit and only are about my own playing time. If my playing time decreases working harder
will improve my skills and might be able to play more.
10/10
Because you have to work hard as a team and all put in the
effort if you want to succeed. Even If
you don’t play as much, you should still cheer for your teammates.
10/10
If only 6 people are playing then you should cheer them on
and help them play their best.
10/10
Because it is a privilege to be on a team. Even if my playing time is decreased. I should be trying harder in practice so that
I can get better and be ready to play my best when I’m playing.
8/10
I think it is very important to support your team. It is good to help your team get better but
you also want to get better so you have to put in the work.
8/10
Yes I will support my team, of course. Probably if I’m sitting most of the time I
will be less a part of the team and I would make it harder for me to have a good
attitude and support them.
8/10
The players are on the court together which builds the
energy and environment
10/10
Because everyone deserves support and that is everyone’s
responsibility on a team. I want the
team to get better and so that is me and
everyone has to strive to be better.
10/10
Because you can’t just pout about it you have to do better
and put in the effort.
10/10
The hype is an important factor in volleyball. No hype form the bench could make the court
side. In practice, your presence is of equal value to everyone else’s
10/10
Volleyball is not lost by one person’s mistake and it is not
won by their amazing attacks it is a team sport.
10/10
Because you are a part of a team and you all need to improve as a team.
10/10
Cause if I do bad in one of my practices then it reflects on
the whole team then we do bad.
10/10
Because you should always be supportive of your team. And not get down cause then the whole team
will.
10/10
If you aren’t playing well, you are making the team suffer,
so don’t give up on yourself and try hard in practice.
10/10
I think that no matter how much you play you should always
support your team.
10/10
Just because you aren’t playing doesn’t mean you are not
part of the team.
10/10
Because it helps the team get better together also it will
get better/high placing
10/10
I agree if you work hard to get better it will help the team
grow. Always be positive and support the
team because it will help you and your team get better.
10/10
I’m here to play volleyball and improve myself and I can't
do that if I’m not supporting the team or trying hard in practice. Playing time is nice but if you are not
working hard you should not play.
10/10
You have less playing time for a reason.if you work hard in
practices you can earn back your playing time.
10/10
I support the team because the support will cheer them up and they will do better I will work hard in
practice to help the team and myself to get better so we will win more games
and work better together as a team.
8/10
The harder you try the better the results will be.
10/10
I would because if I don’t get played then why should I be
on the team. And if we all work hard in
practice we would push ourselves to get better.
10/10
It is all about teamwork you should be playing the players
who are working the hardest that game and next game someone else will be working
harder and get more playing time.
9/10
IF you are not playing great and not helping the team you
have to earn the playing time but you should still get playing time.
10/10
I think supporting the team is very important regardless of
how often I play the only way to get better is to practice and work hard.
10/10
If you don’t help the team you should not be on the team
period.
10/10
Even if your playtime is decreased you are a part of
it. If is your responsibility to help
your team in the best way you can even if you can’t help them on the court you
can help them from the bench. Working
hard in practice will help you get better.
10/10
I will always support your team if I am on the bench or on
the court and every practice I would
work harder and harder to increase my skills to help my team when I do play.
10/10
Because it is a team sport and you get better by practicing
and you get on when some go off it is only fair.
10/10
If I know that we won’t have as good of a chance to win than
I will still work hard and support the team with the goal to become a starter.
10/10
I support my team, if my time is decreased I will work hard to
get better with the team.
9/10
I don’t think I could work harder, I think I should put in
more time and improve that way
10/10
It doesn’t matter how much playing time it matters how hard
you work and how much you support your team.
10/10
That is the whole point of organized sports. If you aren’t trying to represent your team
well then you shouldn’t be on a team.
10/10
If you give to the team you should support it no matter
what.
10/10
I think a 10 because no matter what you are a part of the
team and should support them. I think
that you should always work hard in practice so that you will improve.
10/10
You need to put 110% in every practice.
8/10
I feel that I should work hard no matter my playing time.
10/10
If you work hard and try in practice it will help you and
your team. If you work harder and strive
to be better you could see the court. You also need to work harder because you
might have a certain skill that your team might lack.
10/10
No matter what you always have to support your team and
decrease of playing time should motivate you to improve.
10/10
I will not waste everyone’s time by not giving it my
all. There is nothing worse than someone
being on your team and not even working to be there.
10/10
If you don’t work hard you do not deserve to play. So in order to play, you must be working hard
and constantly try to improve your skills.
9/10
I agree with this however a small part of me gets sad when I
don’t get playing time. I need to get
over this and work even harder. Those
who work hard will be rewarded.
10/10
This is the attitude and mindset everyone should have.
10/10
If my time is decreased I will work hard and fix whatever my
coach tells me to because I want to become better and get playing time.
10/10
If you work hard enough you will improve and probably
increase your playing time and even if it doesn’t, you should still support
your team.
10/10
There is a reason why the coaches picked who they want to
play. I have not choice in who they play
I can only work hard to prove myself and get better, everyone on the team has
an important job weather it is playing or cheering.
Day One Session one Reflection
At the Making the Cut Camp at the end of August 2019 we asked the players to reflect upon some statements.
Below is the statement from the first session of the camp.
Below is the statement from the first session of the camp.
I feel playing time
must be earned and if Player A is playing better than player B then A should
get more playing time.
Players were asked to give the statement a number. If you totally agree with the statement give it a 10, if you totally disagree give it a 1. In simple language give the statement a number.
Overall average 7.6/10 There were 79 responses.
Overall average 7.6/10 There were 79 responses.
5/10
I somewhat agree with putting the best player on. Depending on whether they come to practices or if they are good under
pressure. If player A never shows up to
anything they don’t deserve a spot.
9/10
If someone works harder and is better than someone else they
should get to play more, but no one should be benched for an entire season, so
everyone should get to play a bit, but those who are better should get to play
more
7/10
Player B will never learn if they keep getting taken off
because player A is better. You should
give everyone a chance to play even if they struggle.
1/10
I think playing time is earned through being a good
teammate. Obviously, if somebody is being an ass, they shouldn’t be on the
court. I also think you deserve court
experience regardless of skill but the less experienced should be worked with
off-court too.
6/10
It’s better for the success of the team if those who are
playing best get more playing time but the others don’t get any touches (don’t
improve).
8/10
I think 8 because a team should always do what they have to
do to win. Teammates should sacrifice
playing time if they really wanna win.
However, this also isn’t the Olympics it’s for fun and everyone should
get an equal chance to play.
10/10
Because playing poorly shouldm’t be rewarded with equal
playing time. You should have to work
for it.
8/10
I feel that player A has earned more time on the court by
showing that they are ready to play and only have that on their mind. This also gives player B a chance to regroup.
7/10
Because player B needs to practice more but should still get
some time on the court to get better.
7/10
I think a 7 because if you are really good and committed
then you should play more to make the team better but if you are not as good
you should also get more time to play so you can improve.
5/10
I feel that if player A is playing better than player B and
their attitude is good than they should get more playing time. But if they don’t show enough effort and don’t
show up to practice and player B does then player B deserves to have more
playing time.
7/10
I think if a player is doing better than one, they are more
likely to play more than the other. I don’t think
it’s completely fair sub them out from practicing but the other is doing
better
4/10
While it is important for the team to do best, if player B
never gets playtime they can’t develop their skills, so it really depends on
their importance of the game. If it is provicials it is different than a normal
game.
7/10
I agree that if player A was putting in more effort and was
playing better than player B that they should get more playing time but I also
think that you improve by playing time and being part of the game.
7/10
Player A should play more because if the coach wants them to
win they should keep the best players on more than the others.
7/10
I mainly agree because if a player has worked hard leading
up to a game, they should deserve to play more than someone that has not been
working hard. But sometimes if the
player isn’t playing their best it makes sense to sub them out.
5/10
Because I feel player A has worked very hard to be a pretty
successful volleyball player, but to become better you always need game experience and practice, so if player B never gets
practice then they will never get better.
7/10
I think this because if you are working hard and giving your
best effort, and you're playing well then you deserve to play but also if you
made the team you deserve to get playing time too.
1/10
Player B needs more practice than player A
8/10
I think fighting for playing time to just better push people, but you can not get better without practicing.
10/10
They (player A) worked hard and earned the right to
play. Those who apply themselves in
practice, are respectful and listen to coaches should play more.
6/10
Sometimes they need more practice on one on one time.
10/10
Because this is a team sport and the goal is to win and if
that means subbing someone off then that is okay.
5/10
I think that the age we are playing at we should all get to
play a good amount in a game. If you are playing in a game you need to win then
we should play the better players.
8/10
I think attitude should be a part of it too. Through player, A is playing better if her
attitude is dragging the rest of the team down she doesn’t deserve playing
time.
10/10
When a player misses multiple practices, games, and team
events they should not get the same amount of playing time as someone who
almost always shows up.
8/10
I feel that a coach must make whatever decision is best for
the team, in order to win, I also think that player B should play in games
against the weak teams in order to improve.
4/10
Not really because player B should get time to improve their
volleyball skills.
10/10
I like to play to win so If I’m having a bad day take me off
as I can take a breather and refocus so I can play better.
5/10
Because If player A is playing better than player B and the
game is almost over then you would want your better players playing but player
B should be able to redeem themselves at some point.
9/10
If player A plays better they are earning the spot to play
more. Everyone has bad days but other
days you will have better days and will get to play more than others.
10/10
Because if Player A is committing themsleves more than
player B, they deserve to play more. And
if player B isn’t completely dedicated they should not be rewarded by playing.
10/10
Cause you wanna win and in order to win you have to play the
best players.
10/10
Because it shows on the court who tries harder to get better
if you always want to play your best players to win.
7/10
I think it is ok for coaches to play their best players but
to a certain point. All of the players
should get a chance at some point to show they want to be there.
8/10
Because if player B isn’t trying their hardest and putting
100% effort in and player A is …then player A should get more playing time.
9/10
You always want to win so you should have your top players
playing but if you play against an easy team you should let everyone play.
8/10
I mostly agree with this, I like to play to win and
sometimes some people have good and bad days.
However, the effort is still a factor in playing time on the court as well.
5/10
I feel it is important for all to play, however, it highly
depends on the situation.
7/10
If one player is better than the other they should get more
playing time but the other player needs the opportunity to grow and learn in-game
situations as well.
8/10
Because Player A is working hard then player b, player A
wants more if they work harder.
8/10
Because player B should practice more to earn more playtime.
10/10
To earn playing time you must work hard and if you are not
the best I believe you have to push yourself harder, playing time must be
earned.
9/10
If player A is playing better than player B than A should be
getting played because it is in the teams best interest.
8/10
I feel that this statement is true. Because if I perform better than you, I
should get more court time.
7/10
I agree with this because the people that are playing better
should get to play, but also players need to be able to get through the tough
days and they can’t do that on the bench.
8/10
Because some people can have an off day and when they keep
messing up they get mad and sometimes you just need to come off the court and
breath.
10/10
Players have to earn playing time. They cannot get it handed to them they have
to work for what they want.
8/10
Because if player b is worse and getting more playing time
it just doesn’t seem right and if player A is better because he/she works
harder on practice then they should bet more playing time.
5/10
I feel like each player should get playing time because
player B will never get better if A is always playing.
7/10
Because I felt like my passing was very good and I call the
ball very well. When I play volleyball I
always feel good but today I felt even better.
9/10
If player A has put the time and effort into being a better
player. The player B should work harder
outside of the game to get to player A level.
10/10
Because player A will help the team the most than player B
6/10
Because player B won’t improveif they don’t play. If player A got injured player B would have
to play.
7/10
I agree on that playing time should be earned and that you
should work hard to earn your playing time.
8/10
If the game is 20-8 than player B should get experience on
the court.
3/10
The only way for player B to learn is to play more.
10/10
Because it would be what is best for the team. We would want the highest possibility of
winning all the time.
4/10
I think it should be equal playing time because player B can
learn to be better unless it is 3rd set.
8/10
I think that everyone should get a lot of playing time but
if someone is playing better in a game and you are losing the person who is
better should play.
10/10
Since Player A is playing better then player B, Player B should
take time in practice to develop more skills to be more dependable if Player
A is having a bad day.
8/10
Because if in the game you are playing bad but you usually
play good you should be able to play. If
they are playing really bad then they should not be able to play.
8/10
Because maybe player B is a bad player but he might be
coachable
5/10
It depends on what level of the game is being played. With younger teams playing at a lower level
the players who work the hardest should be given the opportunity to grow. At a higher level or for important games the
best players should be played.
10/10
You want to do the best for your team and play the best
player playing that game and next game maybe someone else will be better.
8/10
If the game is important then A should play B could always
get more in another game.
6/10
I think this rule stands but only when playing important
games like in provincials and nationals.
However during games for an exhibition, I think playtime should be equal
because then it gives everyone a chance to improve.
6/10
I agree with this statement but believe that whoever has put
the most effort in should get the most playing time. If someone is really good but never shows up
to practices, they should get less playing time than the person who always shows
up and gives it their all but isn’t as
good as a player.
10/10
I agree because if one person works harder then others they
should be getting results and space to show it,
7/10
Because player B may not be trying their hardest and they may be costing the team points so it is
not fair to the rest of the team.
10/10
If player A is working hard and putting in more effort than
player B they should get time because it is better for the team.
7/10
Because if someone is putting in more effort and is showing
that they are doing quite well they should get rewarded because of that. If someone is showing they are putting in the effort and they have grown they should also get time.
10/10
Because you should earn your playing time not just because
it is equal playing time but because you worked for it.
10/10
Because you want to
good and have what is best for the team.
7/10
I think a 7 because playing time should be earned but I also
feel that player B should get a chance to prove themselves Player A should play
more however because if they are playing better than it is best for the team.
10/10
The more time you put in the better you are therefore you get more playing time because you are better than the others.
7/10
I think that the better players should play more as they
have earned the privilege, but weaker players also need a chance to improve and
show their worth and skill.
9/10
If a player is working harder and playing better they should
be playing more. Player B should be
given a chance but who plays should benefit the whole team and their success.
8/10
Because Player A should play to get the win however B needs
more time playing on the court.
7/10
You want to win so you play your best players but at the same time, everyone deserves to play so everyone should play there is just a
time and place to play people.
7/10
If player A shows up to one practice and player B shows up
to all practices then player b should get to play but if they both have similar
attendance levels then player A should play.
8/10
Usually, this is true, but some game situation calls for
certain plays or players. A worse player is maybe better for a certain situation.
10/10
You want your team to
succeed and a positive attitude.
10/10
Because you have to give your team the best chance to
succeed.

Making the Club Sessions
I am working on an idea to help athletes during their tryouts for the club. During these sessions (which will appear as "Making the Club U13 U14 U15 Boys") we will design a three-hour session to allow the athletes lots of touches. What we will also do is get the demographics of an athlete which we will then place on a sheet which they can print off and take to their tryouts. This will allow them to be different than some of the other athletes who will be trying out and hopefully make them stand out and be noticed.
All the tryouts I have attended it is hard to remember all the athletes and I hope this document will help that happen.
The document will look like this...

Making the Cut Royalty Search
The Making the Cut camp had a royalty search for the King/Queen of the Court. This four day tourney is designed to seek out the best player who makes the others around them better. It is based on the King of the Beach format and seemed to work well after we worked out all the kinks. It will be a smoother process next year.
The Royalty for the three tiers were...
