Tuesday June 27th: Free Play

Having had the end tournament and the final drink, there is one last possiblity before the summer break to play volleybal at Van Slag this year: upcoming Tuesday, June 27, the sports hall has been reserved from 18.00-23.00 for a few extra games, so the courts are available for everybody. If many people will show up, we may have to balance a little so that everyone gets a chance to play for a while.

Of course you can get your current team together to play for a while, but we advise all new teams to use this opportunity to test the new composition of the team to see whether it all works out.

So get your (new) teammates together, and enjoy a last night of volleyball before the break!

Last chance to pick up your lost items on Tuesday!

In the Van Slag cupboard, a number of personal belongings were found, among which bidons, hair clips, gloves and pullies. If you think that something belonging to you may be in there, or are you still searching for you shirt or bidon? Report to the board next Tuesday during the tournament and we will look whether we've got your stuff. Everything that has not been picked up will be put in the lost and found facility of Olympos after the tournament.

Kind regards,
The board

Final Tournament June 20th

It would have been a beach tournament, but Olympos snatched the beach court away before our eyes. So for this reason we will have a indoor tournament. This will take place on Tuesday, June 20.

This will be a nice evening of volleyball, whereby the mixes will be approximately at the level that you are usually playing (so the A poule with B, C with D and E mixing with F).

Afterwards, the first yearbook of Van Slag will be presented by the VerSlag committee, and the winners of the Van Slag Awards will be announced. Something that you do not want to miss!

To completely round of this beautiful season, we will welcome you for a drink in the Olympos bar after the tournament. Everybody will get a free consumption! So it is promising to be a very nice final day of a great season. Make sure that you won't miss this event and sign up for the tournament at the subscription page!

See you on the 20th!
The tournament committee

Tuesday June 20th: indoor tournament with drink as final get together

As the Dutch team has to play the Argentinians in the soccer World Cup tournament, the board has decided to move the final tournament once more. Since the Olympos beach courts are already in use for a course on Tuesday, we will have to resort to the usual indoor tournament. However, it will be a very nice tournament with great mixes on approximately your own level (A poule mixing with B, C with D and E with F). After a few great games, the Van Slag yearbook will be presented by the VerSlag committee, and the winners of the Van Slag Awards will be announced!

Afterwards you are all welcome for a drink in the Olympos Sports Café, where everyone will be served a free drink. This will surely be a great night, and we hope that it will keep you going until september, when the new season finally kicks off again! We hope to see you all on the 20th! The Board 2005-2006

GA and searching for new board members!

Please make sure you are always in time and don't dissapoint the other teams! If you have any questions or suggestions about this problem, please contact the board.

From now on, we are using the referee's chairs, in order to improve the referee's view on the field and to avoid distraction by other accidents around the field.

Experienced Van Slag teams qualify easily for the D-poule

The experienced teams have easily qualified themselves for the D-poule. Both Als 1 Blok and BBVV Block scored the maximum of 10 points. The new team @Win also won all their matches. Surprisingly, the new Team Stella left De Dieseltjes behind. The most exciting match was the draw between The Jeffrey's and Team 007, of which a place in the D-poule was at stake. Because the The Jeffrey's had a more positive scoring balance, they will start in the D-poule. The new teams had a tough evening and even had to accept almost 200 points against them over five matches!

If you have any questions about the schedules, please contact Erik.

Wallet lost (found)

Has anybody seen a red wallet? One of our members has lost it during the qualification tournament. If you know where it is, please contact the board.

Qualification for teams with low skill levels (D-F)

This tuesday (september 27th) our second qualification round will be held. Look at the list of teams to see which teams will be playing for a place in the D, E or F-poule. The matches start at 18:00. Make sure you are on time, because we have a very tight schedule! If you have any questions, please contact the board.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR LATE SUBSCRIBERS

As some of you may have noticed this week, it is no longer possible to subscribe for Van Slag at the Olympos Sports Desk. We have had to take this measure because the association has a halt on recruitment for new members.

However, there is a (large) number of people of whom we know that they still need to subscribe, because they have been placed into teams, so people who have contacted us via emails to the board or via friends, and as such have ended up in teams, or who have had problems with signing up at Olympos on Friday. These people also can no longer subscribe at the Olympos Sports Desk, but they have to subscribe during or after their placement tournament. This goes as follows:

1. You report to the board of Van Slag. You will receive a note with your name, saying that indeed you are allowed to subscribe at Van Slag. When showing this at the Olympos Sports Desk, you can get your Olympos Sports Card with subscription for Van Slag.

2. Upon showing your Sports Card you will receive a subscription form from us with an authorization form. You have to fill this one out, and return it the same night. Only then you have been subscribed!

You can check for yourself whether you have been placed in one of the teams. If you are in there, you can be placed on a waiting list. We can then try to see whether there is a spot available at your level somewhere. If this is your situation, please mail us at board@vanslag.net.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.
With kind regards,

The board 2005-2006

The Blues is the big winner of the first qualification tournament

The qualification for teams with a high skill level has ended. The most succesful team is The Blues. Not only did they score 10 out of 10 possible points, they also scored many many more points than they had to accept. On the second field, Touch Town just missed a place in the A-poule by losing from Puntje Puntje and the A-Team was as unfortunate as Touch Down as they were defeated by Red Alert. All time favorite IJskoud disappointed a bit because their scoring balance wasn't as good as that of The Blues and GoldPlay. Nevertheless they were one of the two teams who won all matches. Geen Stijl can be regarded as runner up . They just didn't make it to the A-poule because the Italians stood in their way. Let's hope next tuesday will be as exiting as this first tournament!

In case of an equal score, the result between the two concerning teams has been used as a criteria.

If you have any questions about the schedules, please contact Erik.

Teams & Players (updated September 19th!!!)
A list of all teams are presented here. Here you can lookup your own team with your players, and also on what day you have to play for the qualifications.

Qualification of teams with high skill level on 20 september
This tuesday, the first qualification games will be played. Each game lasts 15 minutes, the first starting at 18:15. Make sure you are in time! Each team plays against five other teams. A game that is won is rewarded with two points, an equal score with 1 point and a game that's lost will of course not be rewarded with any point. When the buzzer sounds, the rally should be finished. The two best teams of each court will start in the A-poule, the two lowest teams will start in the C-poule and the others of course in the B.

The teams that will be playing this tuesday are:

IJskoud, GoldPlay, Los!, Beta Blokkers, Lekker Puh!, Liegah, Touch Down, Uberflieger, Zee-Samstraat, The Blues, Red Alert, A-team, Puntje Puntje, Geen Stijl, Viva Italia, Team Slaat, Team Marije, Team Lotte en Girl Power.
