The Swarm is recognized by the IRS as a Not-For-Profit Corporation.
That means that all donations are tax-deductible. The Swarm solicits both corporate and
individual donations to offset player fees. As a result of donations, the value each player
receives is far greater than the individual player fee.

IMPORTANT REMINDER - The Swarm is a competitive volleyball club. Your
club fees pay for coaching, facilities, equipment and uniforms. Tournament
playing time is bonus and is at the sole discretion of the coach.
Limiting errors is more important than hitting it big!

Remember, the Swarm's fundraising program tracks the profits from each player’s
fundraising activities and applies those profits to help offset that individual player’s
Swarm club fees for the 2011-12 club season. Players must sign a commitment to
the Swarm to be eligible to participate in the fundraising program.
Fundraising Program
The Swarm Player Fee Fundraising Program is designed to help Swarm players
raise funds to help offset the individual player’s club fees. Unlike most
organizations fundraising programs that raise money for the organization in
general, the Swarm's fundraising program tracks the profits from each player’s
fundraising activities and applies those profits to help offset that individual player’s
Swarm club fees for the 2011-12 club season. Players must sign a commitment to
the Swarm to be eligible to participate in the fundraising program.
Happy Birthday!

Attendance at Practice
Attendance at practice is critical. Even with excused absences, you team is
still practicing and developing a chemistry that will allow your coach to
determine a rotation and the best fit for each player. Poor attendance will
affect tournament playing time. Poor attendance includes arriving late and
leaving early.  We understand illness and school functions, and while most
players have not missed a practice, there are a few who have missed four or
more practices.  Please be sure to attend every practice for your team.
