Dates To Remember: Jr. High Rally – Saturday, March, 5, 2011
ARCHDIOCESAN JUNIOR HIGH RALLY
Saturday, March 5, 2011
Each year nearly a thousand young Catholics and parish leaders gather for the Archdiocesan Junior High Rally. The Rally has been developed specifically for Junior High/Middle School Youth and the vision of this event is three-fold: 1) To develop a creative, challenging and fun Catholic event geared especially for youth in the 6th through 9th grades. 2) To provide a positive experience of Church including social opportunities, faith building, and Liturgy. 3) To involve young people by utilizing their energy and gifts for the Church.
If your parish does not have a youth ministry who is organizing a group to attend the Rally, please contact the OYYAM mainline at 206-382-4562 for this information and assistance with organizing your own school or parish to attend this event.

- In the 6th through 8th grade divisions, there will be a postseason playoff tournament.
- Scheduling conflicts known before the season must be submitted with the team registration. All requests for a re-schedule or TBA match must be submitted to the CYO Athletics office by the registration deadline and will be granted for school-related functions and parish-related functions only.
- Re-scheduling TBA matches are the responsibility of the coach who requested the TBA and must notify CYO Athletics when TBA matches are re-scheduled.
- Non-TBA games re-scheduled by both coaches will not be accepted and all games rescheduled without the authorization of CYO Athletics will result in forfeiture by both teams involved!
FAIR PLAY POLICY
- In 5th and 6th grade divisions, each player suited up is expected to play 50% of each match, including playoff matches.
- In the 7th and 8th grade divisions, each player suited up is expected to play 25% of each match, including playoff matches.
- Infractions of the playing time policy will result in a warning for the first offense and a suspension for the offending coach for the second (and any subsequent offenses).
EQUIPMENT
- It is strongly recommended that all uniform jerseys have numbers on the front and back. This will be required during tournament play.
- Knee pads are required for all players in all matches!
- Each team shall furnish a white volleyball of good quality and condition for each match. 6th grade boys and all 7th and 8th grade leagues (boys & girls) will use a regulation size ball. 5th and 6th grade girls and 5th grade boys (if there are enough teams for a 5th grade only boys league) will use a “Lite” ball (for example the Baden VX450L lightweight composite game ball). The official will decide which ball will be used during the match.

RULES
All volleyball teams in CYO Athletics will play according to the current volleyball guide of the National Federation of High School Volleyball rules unless otherwise specified in this manual or the rules herein outlined.
- All 7th and 8th grade girls will be divided by ability. The top sixteen teams will be divided into the AAA division with the remainder placed in the AA division. The teams in each division will be determined by the previous year’s performance and will placed by the volleyball commission. There will be two separate playoff divisions and AAA and AA champions in both divisions. 5th and 6th grade divisions will be divided geographically.

- Games will be scheduled on the hour. If matches finish in less than 40 minutes, both teams may play an additional game. The game will not count in league standings and officials will not officiate beyond the official match period. If both teams play beyond the official match, they are responsible for providing an official and must clear the floor at least ten minutes before the next scheduled match!
