ATTENTION PARENTS/GUARDIAN OF JUNIOR PLAYERS!

Core Values of Davao Spike Stars Inc. – A Guide for Parents

At Davao Spike Stars Inc., we believe that youth volleyball is about growth, friendship, and character — not just winning. To keep our environment positive and supportive for all junior players (ages 10–15), we kindly ask everyone — including parents — to embrace the following values:
1. A Welcoming & Friendly Environment
We want every child — whether new or experienced — to feel safe and included. No player should feel intimidated by opponents or teammates. Everyone is here to learn and play together.

2.Non-Discrimination & Encouragement
Every family pays for their child to join, learn, practice, and grow alongside their teammates. Harsh criticism, shouting, or shaming has no place here. We uplift one another, regardless of skill level.

3. Respect for Space & Roles on the Court
If the ball lands in a player’s area, that player has the right — and responsibility — to play it, whether the result is good or bad. We acknowledge every effort because our true goal is improvement, not perfection.

4. Parents as Supporters, Not Coaches
During games and practices, we ask parents to step back and let the coaches coach. Please allow your child to explore their own talent, make their own decisions, and simply enjoy being a kid on the court.

5. Sportsmanship Over Hyper-Competition
While we teach proper volleyball rules and effort, our main priority is socialization, skill exploration, and emotional maturity. Being overly competitive leads to bitterness, fear of mistakes, and inability to move past errors. We want players to learn that mistakes are part of growth — not something to regret or obsess over. True competition is reserved for league or tournament settings only.

Davao Spike Stars Inc. is not just teaching volleyball, but building confidence, resilience, and kindness in young athletes. That's a truly special mission.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT – CANCELLATION OF SUMMER VOLLEYBALL TRAINING

Dear Trainees and Parents,

This notice is to officially inform you that the previously scheduled Summer Volleyball Training Program is hereby canceled until further notice.
The management made this difficult decision after careful review of the current situation.

The primary reason is that the required number of admissions has not been met. Despite our outreach efforts, we have not received enough trainee enrollments to meaningfully conduct the sessions as planned.

Additionally, we recognize that several other factors may have contributed to the low registration numbers, including:
· Potential energy-related challenges affecting practice schedules and facility operations.
· Training locations being used by other groups, which limited available time slots and reliable court access.
· Long travel distances to the training venues, which likely posed a difficulty for many interested trainees and their families.

Please understand that this cancellation is not a reflection of anyone’s commitment or enthusiasm for the sport. The management finds it only fair to cancel the program rather than run a reduced-quality training with too few participants, uncertain energy supply, limited facility availability, and unreasonable commute expectations.

We sincerely apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Sports Management Committee

Understanding zones on a volleyball court!

🏐 What “Zones” Mean

Zones are the official numbered locations on the court used for rotations, serve‑receive formations, defensive systems, and offensive spacing. Every player rotates through all six zones in order.

📍 The Six Zones (1–6)

• Zone 1 — Back Right
The serving position and the right‑back defensive spot.
• Zone 2 — Front Right
Where the right‑side hitter and setter operate in the front row.
• Zone 3 — Front Middle
Middle blocker’s home base in the front row.
• Zone 4 — Front Left
Outside hitter’s front‑row attacking zone.
• Zone 5 — Back Left
Left‑back defensive position, often where outsides play in the back row.
• Zone 6 — Back Middle
Middle‑back defensive position
