February and March are busy months for me. I’m se-curing, purchasing and grouping donation items to go into baskets for the silent auction and raffle fundraiser held during the Dale Rohde Memorial Boys Volleyball Tournament. Then came the sad news that the tourna-ment along with all the Badger Region Championships were canceled due to COVID-19. My dilemma: What do I do with all those baskets?

I talked to the donors, and they were all on board for switching the donated items to a different worthy cause for this year. I called Dale’s old beach doubles partner, Kelly Vecitis. Starting in 2014, Kelly has gen-erously hosted an adult co-ed volleyball fundraiser at the indoor sand courts at Kelly’s Bleachers Wind Lake, where the proceeds have gone to the Dale Rohde Memorial Fund to support boy’s volleyball. Since the bar and restaurant industry has recently been hit hard, I offered the baskets as pick-me-up gifts for Kelly to distribute to the bartenders, waiters, cooks and maintenance people from his various

establishments, all of whom have experienced drasti-cally reduced hours or are temporarily unemployed.

On April 27, my son Kyle and my sister Deb and I dropped off 40 wrapped baskets at Dugout 54 in Milwaukee. In these social distancing times, it was awkward not being able to give hugs, and Kyle said he missed the big firm handshake that Kelly usually gives him whenever they see each other. Kelly was so appreciative, he immediately transferred eight of the baskets into his car for delivery to some of his staff. The rest of the baskets will be delivered to Kelly’s Bleachers Wind Lake, Kelly’s Bleachers Big Bend, Cleveland Pub and Grill in New Berlin, Natty Oaks in West Allis, and Lucky Chucky’s in Oconomowoc.

For me, this donation was truly gratifying because it gave me the opportunity to give back to our extended volleyball family. If you’re able during this health emergency, please donate to support those people and businesses that you care about.

Sue Rohde is the widow of longtime official, board member and player Dale Rohde.

The Badger Region is excited to announce the 17 winners of schol-arships handed out on behalf of the Board of Directors and Frisco Mo apparel. Winners announced May 4 at the board meeting include:

Everywhere you turn, the discussion of women in sports is a hot topic. Stories in the news include the fight for equal pay in soccer to the need for more women coach-es at the Division 1 level.

We need more strong, influential women to mold and shape these young female ath-letes. Female coaches face a unique set of challenges that hold them back to a lifetime of servitude in the sport.

My decision to coach came on a slightly different path than most. It was August, and I was returning home after a 16-month deployment to Baghdad, Iraq, with my Na-tional Guard unit. Going back to school to finish my last semester of college that I had to leave behind wasn’t going to be the best fit. I knew I would have a difficult time blending into “normal life” so quickly and

I needed the time to decompress and fig-ure out how to live a married life- though my husband and I had been married for 17 months at this point but were both de-ployed in different areas of Iraq during that time. We joke that is was the best first year of marriage any couple has ever had. Never even fought. I was a criminal justice major with a strong desire to get into community policing and be a liaison officer in a high school. My life’s passion was to be a positive influence to high school aged kids.

In August of 2004 I started assistant coaching at Muskego High School as the volunteer varsity assistant with Karen Anderson, and it didn’t take long to get hooked on this life. That November, I be-gan coaching for Wisconsin Juniors as well. When I started coaching, I didn’t know everything about the sport, drills and skill development, I will be the first to admit that. However, what I did know had already come with a big learning curve.

I knew what it took to compete. I knew that each and every girl out there is stron-ger and more resilient than she thinks she is. I knew that if you set high expectations and stick to them, you will get tremendous results. And most importantly, when you support that with being a positive influence delivering that message, the results can be the most fulfilling moments of your life.

At this point as I look back at my start into coaching, I am reminded of all the support I received. Through my first eight years I had kids, my husband went to countless military schools and even a year long deployment — but I never stopped coaching.

I could never do complete justice to making a list of all the people that helped me. Moms and dads holding my daugh-ters in the stands, offering to watch them during practice times in their homes. I was so lucky for each and every one of them to be a part of my life during those moments, and it truly made this all feel like family.

In all of the teams that I coached there were two things that happened every time. First, at the start of the season each and every one of my club teams would always underestimate their value as a player and a teammate. At the start of every season the main focus always became a lesson in believing in yourself. And second, I always had at least one parent thank me for being there. Specifically, that their daughter had

the privilege of being coached by a mom who was working to keep it all together but show them how strong women can be.

My message is three-fold. First, to all coaches and directors out there: Find a way early to get each and every player believing and living the idea that they are stronger than they think they are. It’s a powerful message and the key to untapped potential in young girls.

And second, to all the female coaches out there: Don’t give up! Life gets crazy. You start a job, get engaged, have a family, etc. These bring with them societal pressures that are normal. Stick with coaching in any capacity that you can. If you have to step aside for a bit, make an effort to come back to coaching. Your life experience and influ-ence are needed and wanted on the court and in your organizations.

Lastly, to the parents out there: Com-municate with coaches that you appreciate their sacrifice for your daughter. Coaching is not something you do for the money. Coaches don’t show up every day and every weekend because they have nothing they would rather do. In the case of female coaches in particular, please let them know they are valued as much and as often as possible.

Whatever it is that pulls you in to this sport, hang on to that. Find a way to sup-port each other. Be strong and courageous. Be there for your team because when you are headed into battle, they are the ones that are going to have your back.

Bring out the best in young athletes

Susan Peterson writes that having parents willing to watch her kids while she coached was something she will always be grateful for.

By Breit NelsonBadger Region Correspondent

May is Mental Health Awareness month, and this is a subject I think is especially important for athletes. In life, we go through a series of transitions and these can be really stressful, especially if you are someone who

struggles with change. But first, a little back-

ground; I grew up and attended kindergarten through my senior year in the same building in a small town. I was raised in a gym as a volleyball coach’s kid. I traveled to Australia, New Zealand, and across the United States to play volleyball while playing club and

in the Badger Region High Performance program while in high school. I competed in packed gyms, huge convention centers, and at the State Tournament at the Resch Center in front of what felt like my entire hometown.

I was recruited and played for UW-Mil-waukee from 2004-2007. I was a part of four Horizon League Regular Season Champion-ships, one Horizon League Championship, and a trip to the NCAA tournament. It’s safe to say I’ve dealt with having to perform under pressure, as well as big life changes. I went on to obtain my Bachelors Degree in General Psychology and my Masters in Sports Psy-chology due to my experiences. I was a high school coach for eight years, and currently I coach club, officiate, write for Prep Dig, and am working on the development of the “Ad-

vanced Performance and Sports Psychology” blog. OK, back to the good stuff.

Many athletes find themselves attached to their sport. We allow it to define us, and the big problem is that at some point, we stop playing the sport at a highly competitive level. It may be by retirement or injury, but it comes to an end all too quickly. It’s like one day you have this very scheduled life and this "sport family" you see and spend hours with every day working toward a common goal, and sud-denly it's no longer there. There is something really powerful about sharing a common goal, which is the beauty of sports. You have heard over and over about putting the team first, and you only know life as part of a team. This makes it incredibly difficult because that isn’t something you easily find after sports, unless you go looking for that team.

You watch from the stands as the team you had turns into a new group and moves on working toward their goal. If you haven’t wrapped your head around what your purpose is after your sport, this can be devastating. You will miss the game, but more so, you will miss the people around you and being a part of something bigger than yourself — the feeling of going into competition with your team and knowing that no matter what, you have each

other's backs. You play because you love the sport, the competition, and the camaraderie.

Here is one of the great things about vol-leyball … it is a community bigger than you know, and there are so many opportunities to continue playing. You cannot only play professionally indoor but also move to the outdoors. Let’s add a few different surfaces, mix up the number of players, combine gen-ders, and you have a number of competitive options such as sand doubles, grass triples, co-ed quads, and anything else in between! It may not be in front of big crowds, but it can be super competitive and very fun.

The connection and relationships you build within the volleyball community turn into this crazy awesome intertwined family, and it's good to remember there are a lot of people like you who were elite athletes at one point too. It’s human nature to want that personal connection and the social interaction which helps us understand and empathize with one another to create lifelong bonds.

Connecting with like-minded people during this transition can make a world of difference. It might take a little bit to find the right people, but once you do, things fall into place. For me, I’ve found ways to stay involved with volleyball and expand my “family” through coaching club, writing for Prep Dig, and becoming a WIAA official. The people with which you surround yourself impact you more than you know. But as an athlete, you knew that already.

Breit Nelson is a Badger Region High Performance camp coach, Wisconsin Ice VBC coach and a writer for Prep Dig.

The American Volleyball Coaches Association an-nounced its Thirty Under 30 Awards on Monday, four of which coach in the state of Wisconsin. This award was created in 2009 to honor up-and-coming coaching talent at all levels of the sport. Wisconsin honorees include:

Badger Region Family; how have you been doing through

all of this? During this unprecedent-ed time that struck us in the heart of our seasons, how are you holding up?

Take this article as a wellness

check of sorts. Thank you for do-ing your part in practicing social distancing in an effort to flatten this curve, help our essential workers and to get back out onto the court as soon as it is responsi-ble and safe.

What have you been doing

during this quarantine? I’ve been attempting to shape this moment into a challenge to alter my personal point of view on this situation. I’ve spent more time training and working with my dogs, while still trying to retain a sense of normalcy. My wife has had to adapt to teaching her class through Goo-gle Classroom, so constructing ways to allow her separation be-tween work and home has been important. I’m an avid lover of cooking, so I’ve been experi-menting with various recipes and finding some success, along with a few failures, but that’s all in the process of learning and betterment.

There’s been multiple online portals for free for volleyball related subjects, along with USAV releasing their new online learning platform; but

honestly between preparing the new house as well as being more or less bummed about not being able to end the season with my regional team and prepare for nationals with my elite team; I sort of unplugged from volley-ball for a bit. I took this time to remember the teams I’ve coached throughout the years as well as reach out to some of my former athletes who’s high school graduations are affected; who had their senior seasons cut short at the collegiate level. To see how they were doing.

Granted, the conversations weren’t anything elaborate, but just checking in with former athletes or families you’ve grown relations with helped me feel like I was extending a positive hand towards my personal volleyball community, whilst staying safe.

With my current team, I’ve

been touching base and keeping them updated, but I’ve been trying to find ways to challenge them and get them thinking in non volleyball ways. I’ve challenged them to cook basic items like grilled cheese, ramen with added veggies, the perfect scrambled eggs. I’m passionate about cooking and sending them personal recipes and seeing them update me with their progress, pass or fail, has been both enter-taining and conducive to growth.

I challenge you, reach out to your respective teams, find a passion of yours and see how you can implement a fun teaching moment for your teams.

I hope to see all of you soon!

April 29 featured official: Jim Momsen

How long have you been reffing: “I am starting my 18th season right now, and I am enjoying the heck out of it. I started in 2003 when my son got done playing. I wanted to stay involved in the

game because I loved it so much.”

Quotes: “I love the athleticism of the game. I love the

people involved. I love the challenge of getting a match right — making the right calls.”

Fun fact: Momsen, who is also the president of the

Badger Region Board of Directors, works as a volunteer at professional golf tournaments. He has worked at the old Greater Milwau-

kee Open, a couple of PGA Championships, a few US Opens, US Senior Opens, Steve Stricker’s tournament at University Ridge and other NCAA events.

Introduction: Cindi is an official for both the Badger Region and the WIAAQuotes:

“One of the reasons that I got involved in of-ficiating is because both of my daughters played in high school. Not only did they play in high school, but they also played club ball and they played in college."

"I have made a ton of great friends, and I always look forward to weekends when I would see other officials and we would share ideas and tell stories. It's almost like having an extended family.Fun fact:

"One fact that many people don't know about me is that I am a twin. I have a twin sister who

lives in De Pere. She and I are very close, and we talk almost daily.""When I am not officiating, I love to quilt. That's something my

other sister got me started in."

FROM USA VOLLEYBALL

SAFESPORT

FROM HIGH PERFORMANCEUpdate from USAV CEO, Jamie Davis (May 5):As referenced in communication on April 24, a “return to

play” task force was established by USA Volleyball to create a comprehensive roadmap to safely restart USAV’s sanctioning of activities when it is appropriate. The task force has been meeting diligently and gathering information from United States Olympic

and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), medical experts, government entities, volleyball clubs and other national gov-erning bodies to help pave our course of action. At this point, the group believes that it is premature to safely commence play and thus USA Volleyball is extend-ing the elimination of sanctions for all USA Volleyball activities (including but

not limited to events, practices, team activities, individual training sessions or anything covered by USA Volleyball insurance) through May 22, 2020.

The health and welfare of our mem-bership, volleyball families and fellow citizens is our primary concern in all decisions we are making during these uncharted times.

USA Volleyball is monitoring the sit-uation daily and will continue to provide updates on a regular basis.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport has made revisions to the SafeSport Code. Over the course of the next few Badger Beacons, we will highlight some of the changes and the reasons behind them.

The 2020 SafeSport Code went into effect on April 1, 2020.

Topic: The Code currently lacks an express "willful tolerance" provision, specific to situations where a Power Imbalance exists and the person in a position of authority willfully toler-ates Prohibited Conduct.

Change: On Pg. 18, added a new provision for Willful Tolerance - “A Participant violates this Code by willfully tolerating any form of Prohibited Mis-conduct, when there is a Power Imbal-

ance between that Participant and the individual(s) who are being subjected to the Prohibited Conduct.”

Rationale: Since this type of misconduct is not currently captured in the Aiding & Abetting provisions, this new provision is meant to cover instances where, for example, a coach is aware of an ongoing hazing ritual within their team and willfully tolerates it.

Have questions about SafeSport in the Badger Region, contact Executive Director Jennifer Armson-Dyer at jarmsondyer@badger-volleyball.org.

With the cancellations of the NATIONAL High Performance tryouts, USA Volleyball is encouraging prospective High Perfor-mance athletes to try out by submitting a video.

This is separate from the Badger Region HP tryouts, which are still in the works depending on when our “all-clear” date is.

If you are interested in the NATIONAL HP program, follow the links below for Indoor and Beach tryout video guidelines. Indoor tryouts are now complete and results will be announced soon (boys results are being released this week).

* Beach High Performance video tryout: https://go.usav.org/BHPvideo

USA Volleyball High Performance encompasses identification, evaluation, training, development, and international competition across all three disciplines (beach, indoor and sitting) of volleyball, building a National Pipeline

to the podium. The mission of High Perfor-mance is to identify, train and develop elite athletes and coaches to build a sustainable pipeline of future Olympians and Paralym-pians. High Performance bridges the gap between our Senior U.S. National Teams and high potential athletes.

Here’s a rundown from our site: http://bad-gervolleyball.org/downtime-blog.

May 7: Heading off to college in the near future but can’t get to campus right now due to COVID-19? Take a virtual college tour. Virtual tours will come in very handy if you can’t make to campus for a camp or a match of the potential college that you hope to one day be a part of.

Here are a few links to get you started:* YouVisit: https://www.youvisit.com/col-

legesearch/* CampusTours: https://campustours.com/* eCampusTours: https://www.ecampus-

tours.com/* Visit the college website itself or see what

Google Maps has to offer

May 6: Don’t forget to vote. If you’re an adult member of the Badger Region, you should have received an email on May 1 on how to vote in the current Board of Directors elections.

The deadline to vote is May 10.

May 5: Check out the AVCA’s resources. Over 22,000 people subscribe to the free AVCA YouTube channel. Are you one of them? As part of today’s Downtime Blog, we suggest that you become one if you aren’t already.

May 4: What do you miss most? Yes, the “Safe-At-Home” order can make

our new normal “boring.” COVID-19 has probably made us all appreciate the lives we had before the pandemic. Our question for you today is what do you miss the most?

May 3: Volleyball crafting, anyone? Can’t go outside? What better way to spend part of the day than by doing some volleyball crafts. You’ve probably seen many of these hand-made favorites at tournaments and in the hotel rooms of volleyball families, so many are probably familiar to you. We've got a full list on our Downtime Blog

May 2: Say thank you! Today’s Downtime Blog asks you to thank a health-care em-ployee or any other front-line worker who is working every day to help others stay healthy or recover from disease. Take time to post a thank you on your social media, share a pho-

to of them, write them a hand-written letter, and maybe even send them a few masks. I think we have all learned that front-line health workers and first responders are the backbone of our communities, especially in times like these.

While we might not be able to thank all of these heroes face-to-face, we can use the media we do have to appreciate them a little bit extra.

May 1: Get outside. Here we are, another Friday stuck at home. But it doesn’t have to be boring. We looked at the great material on the website of the Wisconsin Department of Tour-nament (www.travelwisconsin.com) and found a lot of links to virtual tours, scenic blogs and lots of things to inspire us once the COVID-19 pandemic has loosened its grip on us.

April 30: Give a listen. Podcasts are a great way to listen to things you enjoy without tying you down to a computer, tablet or book. Download them to your phone and go — while you’re working out, while you’re cleaning the house or while you’re in the car. We've got the start of a great list on our blog.

April 29: Get cookin’. We are almost two months into our “Safer At Home” orders, and hopefully kids have learned a few things while in the confines of our own houses. And by a few things, we don’t mean how to work on a float serve or drive your parents crazy. We want our student athletes to think about what is being put on the dinner table (or the breakfast and lunch table). And could they be involved in preparing a portion of the meal — or the full meal all together?

April 28: Hit the pavement. Some of us aren’t lucky enough to have a brother, sister, parent or roommate who we can practice our volleyball skills with. But that should not prevent us from still getting some valuable touches on the ball, even though we can’t be a gym right now. That being said, our friends at the Art of Coaching Volleyball have come

up with some free videos they call the Drive-way Drills: https://www.theartofcoachingvol-leyball.com/6-driveway-drills/.

April 27: What have we learned? We’re in uncharted territory as a society. We’re ner-vous. We’re worried. Our anxiety levels are at a new all-time high. But, as all of our coaches tell us, adversity brings about an opportunity to learn and get better. So, with the difficulty of managing our lives amid the COVID-19 outbreak, we ask you this: What have you learned from recent events that have made you a better person?

April 26: The International Volleyball Hall of Fame has a vision of bringing volleyball

and its history to the world. It works to preserve the history of the sport in its birthplace of Holy-oke, Mass., by honor-ing, promoting and sharing its history with the world. For today's blog, we ask

you to go out and learn more about this great institution: Instagram: @vbhalloffame

Facebook: @vbhalloffameTwitter: @vbhalloffameWebsite: volleyhall.org

April 25: Create a student-athlete volley-ball vision board. What are your goals? What are your academic goals? What are your vol-leyball goals? A vision board helps you clarify and concentrate on the realistic goals most important to you. Do you want to make your high school team or the region’s high perfor-mance team? Do you want to reduce errors and improve your kill percentage? Maybe you want to jump higher. Olympic athletes have used vision boards for decades to help them improve their performance.

April 24: It’s Friday, and many families would usually dine out tonight. Consider ordering some takeout or delivery tonight. Maybe you’re a golfer and a local course is available. How about taking advantage of your local library’s curbside pickup? Our Downtime Blog pick of the day: Do some-thing you enjoy. Eat something you crave. Enjoy the day!

April 23: What are you doing during this downtime to improve your recruiting profile? That’s a question the Badger Beacon looks at in-depth today thanks to a pair of college coaching panels we helped organize over the past two weeks.

The Badger Region has made coaching education a priority.

In 2018, the Badger Region Board of Directors appointed an Education Chair, BJ Le Roy and formed an Education committee. The goal is to create and promote opportunities for Badger Region coaches to become certified, re-certify, and stay current with best practices in the sport of vol-leyball and the field of coaching.

Beginning with the 2018-2019 membership season, Bad-ger Region Coaches will need to complete two hours of Badger Region-approved Coaching Continuing Education during the current quad (four-year Olympic cycle) to be eligible to coach in the following quad. Think of a quad as the four years leading up to and culminating with the Summer Olympics.

Annually the Badger Region has approximately 1100 Coaches!

Since Sept 1, 2016 (current quad 2016-2020) approximately 300 coaches have been IMPACT certified.

Approximately 100 coaches achieved CAP I or II certification at the CAP Clinic hosted by Bad-ger Region in December 2017 or December of 2019.

About 100 coaches from var-

ious clubs have participated in a Badger Region run 3C- Coaches Coaching Coaches program.

An additional 40 coaches attend or participate in Badger Region Education Clinics or programs annually.

This leaves around 600 coaches that we believe are in need of con-tinuing education to stay current on best practices, philosophy, and changes to the game and/or rules.

New coaches will become certified by completing IMPACT

(Increased Mastery and Profes-sional Application of Coaching Theory)

There are a number of FREE options for experienced coaches including:

* The Art of Coaching Vol-leyball “Badger Region Coaches Certification”

* Re-take IMPACT or attend at least two hours of a live IM-PACT session

* Attend a Badger Region 3C clinic (requested by club director)

Other options for re-certifica-tion at the coaches cost include:

* Attending a CAP/BCAP clinic

* Completing two CAP modules

* Complete your CAP certi-fication

* Attend the National HP Clinic

* Attend an Art of Coaching Clinic

* Attend an AVCA convention* Attend a University/College

sponsored coaching clinic (ex: UW-Madison)

* Attend the WVCA spring clinic

Contact the Region office for approval of other education obtained not listed here.

Continuing education a must for all

Any 18-year-old player is now required to complete the SafeSport Core Training in accordance with USA Volley-ball’s MAAPP policies.

Starting Monday, Feb. 24, AES launched the new SafeSport feature that requires SafeSport verification for all 18-year-olds on junior rosters. This new feature will be in effect for all events past this date.

Athletes that are not compli-ant with the SafeSport require-ment will be flagged on Region/USAV event sanctioned rosters.

'Frozen player' rules relaxed for teams going to nationalsUSA Volleyball is relaxing, not

eliminating the “frozen player” rules for the 2020 championship season.

For all age groups, USAV will allow a player to change teams within the same club for this sea-son (especially with the resched-uling of the G18s championship).

Below are examples of sce-narios that will be considered regarding the relaxation of the “frozen player” policies:

Example 1: A 16-year-old who has been playing, and qualified, on an 18s team is asked to play on one

of their club’s 16s or 17s team (not both) for the qualification process for GJNC. This will be allowed at the region’s discretion.

Example 2: An 18s team quali-fied for Nationals and because of the reschedule has disbanded due to insufficient amount of players. Players that still wish to partici-pate, and their club does not have another 18s team participating at 18s GJNC, can transfer clubs at the discretion of the region.

This will be a case by case situ-ation for the 11s – 17s as well.

If a club disbands for the 2020

season and a player has no other opportunity to play in that same club, USAV may allow a club transfer with permission from the region. It will be the region’s final decision to allow any club transfers during these unusual times. This is only for the 2020 season.

If a club disbands and a team has already earned a bid to GJNC (including regional bids), a player will be allowed to transfer clubs if there are no other opportunities to participate within their same club.

There has to be no other oppor-tunity for the player to play within

the same club to request a transfer.A younger player can be added

to a 18s roster as long as it is within the same club.

Example from the Girls Champi-onship Manual: A club has a Team that has qualified for the 18 USA Division of the 18sGJNC, they may add a player from their club who plays on a younger Team to play in the 18sGJNC even if the younger Team has qualified for the GJNC.

USAV understands this is a very unusual time and each scenario will need be handled on a case-by-case basis.

The Badger Region Volleyball Association wants to make sure that your jerseys are com-pliant with all rule sets and changes that have gone into effect that last few years.

To do so, the Region’s Ref Chair (Jim Arts) is encourage club directors to upload images to this link (below) if there is any concern

that numbers are not contrasting enough with the dominant color of the jersey or if a jersey is not contrasting for libero purposes.

UPLOAD HERE: http://badgervolleyball.org/jerseys/

The goal of this initiative is to help our Ref Chair not have to write any waivers for

jerseys, especially for teams who are com-peting at national qualifier and national championship events.

When photographing jerseys, do not have junior athletes in the photo.

The Badger Region is once again rewarding the individuals who showcase amazing sports-manship via our Enthusiastic. Supportive. Positive. program.

At tournaments, staff will be handing out wristbands that have the ESP slogan on them to people who go above and beyond to show fellow fans, teammates and coaches how we expect people to behave.

These wristbands are for fans, not players. Let’s take our cheering and our region up a few notches:

* Get a little crazy.* Go the extra mile.* Support your team with posi-

tive cheering.* Recognize the good in your

teams and others.* Applaud when the other team

makes a great play.* We need good opponents to

get better. Be that good opponent.At the Badger Region Cham-

pionships in March, recipients of the wristbands can redeem them for Badger Region swag at the Tournament desk.

How is the Badger Region Board structured?The Badger Region Volleyball Association

is governed by a Board of Directors that must be elected by members on a regular basis. Area reps serve three-year terms, while members of the executive board serve four-year terms.

Members, whether they are players, coaches, parents, directors, athletic trainers or officials, are encouraged to communicate with their respective representative if they

think policies or financial decision in the Region need to be changed.

Some policies enforced by Badger Region come from USA Volleyball, our sport’s national governing body, so those can’t be changed. But many others can.

The Board is advised by a 11 chairpersons (or experts) in various parts of the game, and five staff members (some of which have multiple responsibilities).

The state is divided into five parts geo-graphically for representation. Plus, there are two at-large board members who you can approach if you don’t feel comfortable with your current rep. And there is a rep dedi-cated just to issues that surround our Junior volleyball clubs and athletes.

You’ll be hearing from each Board mem-ber twice a year in the form of a column in the Badger Beacon. Now, let’s meet them:
