The next VBmatch Monday Indoor Dual-Coed 6s League will start on Monday January 11, 2010. Most of the league games will be played at Head-Royce School's gymnasium, which is a really nice facility (on par with Red Morton gym). However, there may be a few weeks where games will be played in either Berkeley or Alameda (due to the unavailability of the Head Royce gym). The league schedule and game location will be announced ahead of time.*
* Starting February 8th, the schedule / location may vary due to limited gym time at Head Royce. For example, we may play from 8:00 - 10:30pm on some nights at Head Royce or we may play from 6:30 - 10:30pm on a few nights in Berkeley. Of course, the time/location will be announced ahead of time. We will need each team's cooperation and flexibility to make the scheduling work for the Winter League. VBmatch's Monday League will return to Alameda Point Gym around the middle of March.
To register for the league, submit your Team Roster via this Online Form and then reserve a spot by paying a deposit via the online payment button below -OR- by mailing a check. The FULL entry fee is due by January 8th for the Monday Night Alameda League.
Format of Monday League: Indoor Dual-Coed 6s Dual-Coed is where half of the games are played on a men's height net with coed rules and the other half are played on a women's height net with reverse-coed rules (women play as usual; men hit from 10 and may NEVER block). There is neither a male-contact rule nor a female-contact-rule. Teams may use Back-Row Block Assist.
Free Agents (Individuals Without a Team): Individuals without a team may sign up for the Free Agent Wait-List. Please indicate which league you’d like to join. Please also provide your height, your preferred position(s) and some information about your volleyball background, experience and skill level. We will try to find an appropriate team to place you on.
League Duration: The Alameda Monday League starts on Monday 1/11/2010. Assuming all spots are filled (10 teams total), the league will be 11 weeks long. However, because the Head Royce gym may be unavailable on a few Mondays, the league may not run continuously for 11 weeks. On certain weeks starting February, the Head Royce Gym may only be available for 2 hours rather than 3 hours, which would result in the league running for longer than 11 weeks. If the gym is unavailable, there may be a week or two where we play in Berkeley or Alameda and there may also be a week or two when some or all teams have a "bye." Each team will play every opponent twice during regular season: once in coed format and once in reverse-coed format. Each match will consist of two rally-scoring games to 25 (win by 2; cap at 30). On most nights of regular season, teams will play two 1-hour matches and officiate for 1-hour each evening of regular season. Assuming a full league with 10 registered teams, each team will be scheduled for 18 regular season matches (9 Coed and 9 R-Coed) and will have a "bye" for one of the weeks during regular season. The top 8 teams from regular season will advance to playoffs.
Game Start-Times: The game start times will generally be 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00pm and will vary for each team week-by-week. NOTE: Because we may end up scheduling some games in Berkeley or Alameda for the weeks when Head Royce's gym is unavailable, I will need a certain amount of flexibility from everyone. Each match consists of 10 minutes of warm-up plus 2 games lasting approximately 50-minutes. In addition, you will be required to officiate other teams' matches when you're not playing. The number of games you play on a playoff night will depend on how many games you win.
Team Registration Fee for FULL Season : $600 (Note: Fee will be pro-rated if there are fewer than 9 teams because the number of opponents and hence the number of games will be reduced.)
NOTE: VBmatch is experimenting with a new policy regarding "subs." Teams may now have up to 8 players on their team roster (without additional fees). Teams that have more than 8 persons on their roster are required to pay $5 extra for each additional player beyond the first six. Subs must be added to a team's roster.
To register for the leagues, submit your Roster via this Online Form and then reserve a spot by paying a deposit via the online payment button below -OR- by mailing a check. The FULL entry fee is due by January 8th for the Monday VBmatch League.
