28 Feb 7pm

Thanks everyone, for another successful RMR weekend! We have updated the SOS rankings based upon results through this evening. (link below).  Enjoy!

REMINDER: Wendy sent out a tentative registration list for next weekend, along with a request that all Directors and Coaches review that list and submit any drop/add requests immediately. Please take a look now; we're really trying to reduce "after the fact" corrections! And remember that the drop-dead deadline for registering into next weekend is tomorrow at noon. We'll try hard to have pool layouts ready for you on Tuesday!

Get some rest.  Next weekend looks like it will be a very well attended event!

The RMR

We seem to be seeing an increase in covid-related quarantines, contact-tracing events and team drops. The RMR would like to encourage all of you to employ whatever mechanisms that YOU, YOUR PLAYERS and YOUR FAMILIES can do, to stay safe, stay engaged in sport, and stay on court.  

What can you do? Athletes and their families can be ever-vigilant for covid symptoms among not only our players, but also their siblings, friends, parents, co-workers. "If you see something, DO something." Individuals who have been exposed should go to quarantine. People who test positive or show symptoms should go to isolation. For more information, review the health information (link below). 

What else? Club Directors, Site Hosts, Referees and Coaches can and should serve as  our "safety screen" by employing all best practices on a daily basis, and at all venues.  Take temperatures every day. Look for symptoms. Talk to your players. Encourage the self-reporting that will keep us all safe!

In many of our communities FREE COVID TESTING is available, hosted by local government and other vendors. Let's all try to take advantage of this important tool! "Best practice" might be to get your entire team tested each week... maybe on Thursday.

Wouldn't it be great to know that everyone in the gym is covid-free?

The RMR

The RMR is pleased to offer you a NEW dynamic-feed viewer window of current  team rankings. (Click the arrow below)

Notes:

The file is updated weekly on Monday afternoons.

"Snapshot" PDFs  will be stored each week, for each age division, on our SOS Rankings webpage. That's found under the "Girls" tab in the menu bar above

Enjoy!

For any customers coming to Baller TV this spring season, please note that RMR has again been extended an open 20% discount. To access the discount enter the code "RMR2021" as you register at https://www.ballertv.com

Parents: We understand that this has been a difficult season for you, and especially since the State COVID occupancy limits are preventing us from allowing spectators into the gyms. Hopefully our partnership with BallerTV will help. 

Yes, this does represent an additional expense for you. But on the other hand, live streaming can allow family members to enjoy watching your athlete play from the comfort and safety of home. The "review on demand" feature is another "plus" since it allows you increased flexibility through your busy weekends.

 --> Our goal with Baller-TV is to provide you with access to the games that you can't attend in person. The RMR is not engaging in this effort for financial gain. Any funds earned through the B-TV partnership will be used to support the local (currently volunteer) staff that are manning the cameras!

Please be patient with us through our technical difficulties, as this is a "first time effort" for the RMR and the hard-working site directors who are doing so much to help all of this come together. 

Some good news: BallerTV has extended their "promotional" pricing structure to us for the entire RMR Power-Series. The coupon on this page is valid for both new and existing customers. Final cost to you can be as low as $75/year ( based on your selected add-ons) $36/quarter (1 viewer/3 downloads). Entering the code can be tricky: Type promoCode "RMR2021" into the promo code box on the login page first, THEN log in. Now, when you subscribe, you'll receive the discounted pricing! (Or see the instruction sheet by clicking on the "BallerTV Offer" link above)

One last note: Three of our sites are not able to offer Baller-TV due to previous contractual obligations. We ask your understanding in these cases. Note that you may be allowed to purchase their proprietary streams at low one-time costs.

Eye on the prize: Our athletes are back in play!

See you on court!

Information regarding how to get certified as a team or paid official has been posted on the "Officiating" page of this website.

We include a pictorial guide about how to navigate through SportsEngine,  to the USAV Learning Academy.

Take a look!

Many thanks to David Mason, for hosting an excellent presentation this afternoon! Many of us learned a great deal about the new  "Player Strength Rating," "Team Seeding"and "Strength of Schedule" programs.
