-- Ithaca Volleyball: Stewart Park --
Stewart Park Volleyball Club - 2024 Season
As of March 14, there is a new league manager: Yangmi Kang (ykang@ithaca.edu). She will maintain results and standings for this league unless otherwise indicated.
Contact Yangmi if you are interested in playing as a substitute team member and she will make your name and contact details available to team captains.
The annual captains' meeting has been held and some rules changes will be announced soon. The first day of play will be May 1.
At that meeting it was decided that an app called Stack Team App will be used to communicate to and between teams. It will handle schedules, recording scores, and so on, mostly replacing this web site. There is no apparent way to move data from that app to this site, but notices of cancellations will still appear here for those who don't have the app.
Regarding Weather:
From Jack: when the league was formed, captains voted not to stop playing in the event of light rain, or wet fields, and only to call it off in the event of lightning. We also do not play in heavy downpour or when the fields are so soaked that we would do damage to the fields. Judging when to play and when not to is difficult. Fortunately the league has volunteers who serve on a "weather committee" to make those decisions as best as possible. We don't always get it right to everyone's satisfaction. Anyone interested can join that committee.
Ultimately, every player is responsible for their own pleasure and safety, no one "has to" play. There are no prizes to win, the league simply provides an organized place where people can play volleyball with like minded people. The league has a 2 no show forfeit allowance before a team is ejected from the league. Teams that choose not to play due to adverse weather conditions are not charged with a no show forfeit.
