Lone Peak Volleyball

State Tournament

2011-11-01T15:11:00.003-06:00

This Friday and Saturday, November 4th and 5th, the Utah 5A Volleyball State Tournament will take place at the UCCU Events Center at UVU.

Click Here to download the complete tournament bracket.

(Please note that the time of the first 5A Saturday match has been changed to 10:30 am.)

The Lone Peak Varsity team will play Hunter at 3:30pm on Court 4 (the far court). Hunter is the designated home team for this match, so Lone Peak fans should sit on the left side of the tape.

As many of our faithful fans in the student section will be attending the football quarter final during this match, we'd like to ask all friends, family, and fans of LPVB who can attend to make it a priority! Please sit together at the bottom of the stands and help cheer on our team!

Our second match is scheduled for 6:30 pm. Court assignment and opponent TBA.

The all-day (both matches) ticket prices for Friday are $6 for students, $10 for adults.
Those in the "lower bowl" seats are permitted to stand. Noise makers and amplification devices of any kind are prohibited, as are hand-held signs. Rally towels are permitted, so bring your LPHS football rally towels when you head to the UVU events center for the second match (right after the LPHS vs. Northridge football game)!

This Concludes Your Regularly Scheduled Season!

2011-11-01T14:41:00.000-06:00

Thursday, 10/27, was the final game of the regular season for our high school teams, while teams in the Junior Knight program finished their season with a tournament last week.

Congratulations to all our teams for a great season.

Thanks to our players for all their hard work, and to our parents for all their help and support!

All players not on the Varsity/JV team should turn in their jerseys as soon as possible. (You can bring them to the LPHS office or to Coach Meyer's room or Miss Wentz's room (129).)
Anyone who still has a PINK jersey from the Riverton Dig Pink game needs to turn it in ASAP!!
Jerseys that are not turned in will result in fines!
Please come support our VARSITY team at the state tournament this Friday and Saturday!

Think Pink!

2011-10-12T07:42:00.000-06:00

Tomorrow (Thursday, 10/13) LPHS hosts Riverton for the Pink game. Proceeds go to the Huntsman Cancer Institute through Swing for Life.

Players should be planning to bring treats for the bake-sale (and hey, the treats don't have to be pink-- if you think you'll get more buyers for a non-pink treat, we can support that!) and seniors and other interested parties have been asked to donate something for silent auction.

Parents: did you ever buy something, decide to return it, and then never get around to it? erase your guilt by donating it to the silent auction! It's a win-win-- you don't have to feel guilty about not returning it, someone else gets to enjoy it, and money goes to the fight against cancer. Hurrah! There will be extra silent auction forms available at the auction table. :)

Don't feel like baking or donating? How about shopping and eating? Bring some money to purchase treats and bid on auction items.

Youth Clinic 10/8

2011-10-06T08:54:00.000-06:00

Just a reminder that we will be running a youth clinic on Saturday, 10/8 for girls and boys in 3rd-8th grades. The clinic runs from 9am to 11:30am in the LPHS Field House (big gym).

We strongly encourage all who are interested in volleyball to come out and join us!

The cost is $20. Preregister by paying online at www.myschoolfees.com (Go to the public side, choose Lone Peak, Volleyball, and the clinic date.) or pay at the door.

Pink vs Riverton

2011-10-05T09:16:00.000-06:00

Pink has been postponed to 10/13!
In the interest of making a more substantial donation, we've decided to use our next home game (LP vs Riverton, 10/13) as a Pink Game. (This way we can donate the gate proceeds, provided we get volunteers to staff the gate.)

Because of this, we are going to postpone the request for Seniors to deliver donation baskets (and for other players to bring baked goods) until that game-- that way we can make a greater impact in our own area (along with the bonus of being sure to get the tables and other items we need and getting cash boxes from our own finance office). ;)

So in summary:
Don't go on a baking & pink-ribbon spree tonight! Wait until next Wednesday!

2011-10-03T09:08:00.005-06:00

The LPVB Varsity team is just home from the Asics Challenge in Chicago, IL where they went 2-3 against some of the best teams in the nation. Friday saw Lone Peak matched up against the Seneca Valley Raiders (PA) and the Joliet Catholic Academy Angels (IL). Falling to these two teams put LP in the Bronze bracket for Saturday play.

Lone Peak came 3rd in the Bronze bracket after defeating A.A. Stagg (IL), losing to St. Thomas Aquinas (FL), and defeating Pius XI (WI).

Time now to gear up to play PG on Tuesday (10/4) and Lehi on Thursday (10/6)!
CLINIC: Saturday, 10/8
All high school players are responsible for recruiting at least TWO 3rd-8th grade girls or boys for Saturday's junior clinic. (9am - 11:30 am, $20)

Thank You!!

2011-09-19T11:12:00.000-06:00

We are now finished hosting tournaments for the season. Thanks to all who helped make Rocky Mountain and Medieval run smoothly and successfully. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Coming up:

The Dig Pink game is on October 6th at Lehi. There will be a silent auction for gift baskets-- proceeds go to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Do you have ideas for a gift basket/donation?

Parents: If you missed the signup sheets for tournament-duty at the Rocky Mountain Champion's Classic and the Medieval Tourney, PLEASE check the shift listings, choose a shift, and email us about it! We have many, MANY shifts that have not been covered. Every family needs to cover a bare minimum of one shift. Please consider taking more than one if possible.

(If you didn't get an email about Tournament-Duty, please email us and tell us you need to be added to the email list!)

Players: As always, keep in mind that you are expected to work at any tournament we host (unless you are playing in it). Your coaches will give you information about your responsibilities for RMCC at practice next week.

Cookies

2011-08-28T23:07:00.000-06:00

Congratulations to Victoria Huebsch, who was this winner of this year's cookie dough competition!
(Congratulations also to everyone who sold the 30 box goal!)

For anyone who checks the blog but not their email, this is a reminder that our order forms have not yet been picked up, so you can turn them in until 8:30 am on Monday (bring the forms and your receipt from the finance office to room 129).

C is for Cookie!

2011-08-22T21:31:00.001-06:00

How are those Cookie Dough Sales going?

As we come down the home stretch (sales end Wednesday, all paperwork must be turned in by the end of the school day Thursday), a few reminders:

1) The goal is 30 boxes per player. Not reaching the goal means more fees. (Boo!)
2) Checks must be payable to LPHS or "Lone Peak" to be deposited at the school finance office.
3) You must KEEP your receipt from the finance office-- it has to be turned in with the order forms.
4) You can deliver your paperwork to Wentz's room (129) at LPHS or in the main gym on Thursday from 3:30-4:00pm.

(Hey, Junior Knights! Want to buy some cookie dough?)

Junior Knights: Tryout Results

2011-08-19T16:30:00.002-06:00

The 2011 Junior Knights teams are as follows:

Junior Knights Gold: Olivia Evans, Sydney Flygare, Jaysa Funk, Natalee Gray, Kacie Huntsman, Keani Lindo, Madelyn Olson, Ayrdrie Palmer;

Junior Knights Black: Mckenna Allphin, Ally Anderson, Emma Clark, Riley Hannemann, Brooke Kinkade, Rachel Larsen, Aimee Power, Keylee Smith, Brooke Sorenson;

Junior Knights Maroon: Mckinley Koch, Emily Moyle, Maegen Nitta, Emily Olson, Brinley Pulsipher, Emilee Young, Kailani Young, Sydney Young;

These teams will be participating in the Factory League, which plays Mondays and Wednesdays. We have intentionally kept the teams very small so that every player will get plenty of playing time and as many reps as possible. Consequently every player needs to be absolutely committed to make this work.

Games: Mondays and Wednesday at the XSI Factory
First week of practices: Tuesday-Thursday (8/23-8/25); 4-6pm (LPHS)
Mandatory Parent meeting: Tuesday, 8/23; 5pm (LPHS)

Parents/Guardians: we need you to email us confirmation that you are willing to commit to Monday & Wednesday games. If you cannot commit, please tell us so that we can make alternate arrangements. Any player whose guardian does not email confirmation within 48-hours (by Monday morning) will be in danger of losing her spot.

Thank you!!

Junior Knights TEAMS tryout/clinic

2011-08-17T19:38:00.001-06:00

One last reminder that a tryouts for our two Junior Knights teams will be held tomorrow (Thursday, 8/18) at 6pm. The clinic/tryout will be held in the LPHS Field House (the main gym). This tryout is for 8th grade and younger.

Several parents have asked whether this clinic/tryout is restricted to 7th and 8th grades. The answer is no. Although it is true that the teams usually end up being predominantly made up of 7th and 8th graders, we will gladly accept 6th graders (theoretically even fifth graders) if they are already playing at the level we are looking for.

We will be running the tryout as a clinic-- training will go on throughout. (Teams will be posted on our website some time the following day.) There is a $10 clinic/tryout fee. Checks need to be payable to LP Volley.

As stated in the original announcement we strongly encourage parents/players to be several minutes early to fill out paperwork so that training can begin right at 6pm.

If you are planning to attend, please do us a big favor by emailing us with the name of the player trying out.
If your information is already in our database and you tell us you are coming, we can pre-print your registration form so that instead of filling out all the same information again, all you have to do is verify that what is in the system already is correct.

Don't forget your kneepads and water bottle.

Thank you!

Fall Clinics: Change

2011-08-17T10:53:00.000-06:00

Due to staff scheduling issues and low pre-registration, the junior clinic originally scheduled for this Saturday (8/20) is being cancelled, pending rescheduling.

The October 8th and October 29th sessions will still take place as planned.
Those who pre-registered for all three sessions will be given the option of waiting for possible rescheduling of this session, receiving partial refund (and still attending the October sessions) or receiving full refund.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

St. George-- Varsity, JV, Sophomore

2011-08-16T21:52:00.002-06:00

As was discussed briefly at the parent meeting, we will be taking the older teams down to St. George on Friday, August 26th to play two preseason matches. (Ahem. How are those Cookie Dough Sales going?)

Players:
The bus is leaving Friday morning, so it is important that you tell your teachers (on the first B-day-- Wednesday the 24th) that you will be missing the next class. Ask for Friday's assignments so that you can do them on the bus ride! (Speaking as a teacher: even if there isn't any assignment we can give you, we always appreciate the students who are responsible enough to ASK before the absence! It makes us less likely to be cranky about the make-up work! -Wentz)

We will be playing Desert Hills on Friday afternoon (Sophs: 4:30, JV: 5:45, Varsity: 7pm).
We will play Snow Canyon Saturday morning/afternoon (Sophs: 10:30, JV: 11:45, Varsity: 1pm)
We will arrive back home Saturday evening.

Parents:
We will be staying at the Comfort Inn at the Dixie Center. There are currently four rooms being held in our name that we won't be needing for players and coaches. If you want one of those rooms for Friday night, it will cost $70 (plus taxes). If you are interested, email us. First to email gets first dibs! (The rooms are two-bed just like the ones the players will be in, so specify if you need a whole room or would like to split a room with another parent.)

Alpine Days

2011-08-15T16:40:00.002-06:00

Big thanks to everyone who donated goods, time, equipment, and otherwise contributed to our Alpine Days activities this past weekend. (Thanks also to the fans who came out to see us!) We handed out many fliers for our fall Junior Knights clinics and sold a LOT of concessions.

We would like to give a huge thank you to Val Hunter who spearheaded the Alpine Days fundraiser, got us all organized, and trained our volunteers in the art of big-time concessions. Danny Huebsch made us the most professional signage we've ever had for an event-- our booth looked better than some of the folks who sell food for their real job! :) Val Hunter and Dave Snyder worked the grills all day and did such fantastic work that we completely sold out of hotdogs. (Our beautiful players working the front lines and making the sales probably didn't hurt either.) ;)

Thanks again to the everyone who contributed to this effort to raise needed funds for our program.
(Pictures coming soon on our Facebook page!)

Media Guide

2011-08-15T16:16:00.001-06:00

Every player has been asked to commit one page of sponsorships.

We are offering four different sponsor levels this year, as detailed on the second page of this document.

When you commit a sponsor, please be sure to take care of the following.

Make sure they write the check to "Alpine Foundation."
Make sure you tell your contact where to send the artwork (LPVBMedia@gmail.com) and that we need it by August 20th.
If your sponsor is any level other than the $100 (Knight Level), they receive either two (Gold and Black Levels) or one (Maroon Level) t-shirt from us. When you get their commitment to sponsor, you need to ask them what size shirt(s) they would like. When we get the shirts in, you will be responsible for delivering them. Some sponsors may tell you they don't need a shirt-- which is fine-- but it is important for you to make the offer.
If you have a Gold Level sponsor, you will be responsible for delivering the team photo and season passes to them along with their shirts.
Email LPVBMedia@gmail.com yourself. Tell us who you are, who you got as a sponsor, and what level the sponsor committed to, and what shirt size(s) they requested.
Give the check to your coach (or directly to Wentz if possible).

Cookie Dough

2011-08-15T16:01:00.002-06:00

General Information:
Every player has been asked to sell 30 boxes of dough. The deadline is August 24th.
FYI: We cooked up several dozen on Saturday (at Alpine Days) and everyone who tried them said this year's cookies are yummier than last year's. (If you talk to people who bought in previous years, you may want to tell them that.) Also, the new cookies cook up round-- as opposed to the slightly square-ish brand we sold last year.

When will the cookies be delivered? Usually it is about a week after our deadline, give or take. (Depends on what other programs they have to deliver to.)
Will you be cut from the team or beaten with a stick if you don't sell your quota? No, but you will have to pay fees to make up the difference.

If you did not get a cookie dough packet, Wentz has a few extras-- you'd better come grab one ASAP, because we are on a short deadline!

Coach Meyer will award the fabulous prize of one of these wonderfully soft Lone Peak Knights blankets to the top three sellers this year.

Purchasers should write checks to "LPHS" (or "Lone Peak High School"). The finance office will yell at you if the checks say anything else!
You need to turn the checks in to the LPHS student finance office. Mrs. Gifford will ask what it is for. Say, "Volleyball Cookie Dough" and she'll know what account to put it in.
Mrs. Gifford will also ask who you are so that she can credit the deposit properly. If you are in 9th grade, tell her-- she will have to add your name in the "memo" field (since you don't have an LPHS account to use).
You MUST hold on to the receipt Mrs. Gifford gives you! It has to be turned in stapled to your paperwork at the end of the cookie dough sales period.
If you turn in money more than once, you need to turn in ALL the receipts. (Most people wait until they are done and turn in all the checks (or cash, if someone pays you that way) at one time, but you can make multiple deposits if you need to.)

Email Check-Up

2011-08-15T15:40:00.001-06:00

Players who earned a place on a 2011 Lone Peak Volleyball team:
Our primary method for disseminating information is via email.
EVERY player need to have her email contact information in our system.
EVERY player needs to have at least one parent/guardian email address in our system.

Players were given the chance to check and correct email addresses when they registered at the beginning of tryouts last Monday... but we are still receiving error messages on several addresses. If one of those addresses is yours, you may miss critical information. How can you check? All players and parents should have received information from us (about the Media Guide and the Cookie Dough fundraisers) via email on Thursday (8/11).

If you did not receive an email, check your spam folder and make sure LonePeakVolleyball@gmail.com is not being blocked by your email provider. If that is not the problem, email us from your correct address (give your name in the message) so that we can get that address in the system!

If there is something wrong with your email account, please fix it! Getting "mailbox unavailable" errors every time we try to contact you makes us sad. :(

Junior Knights Clinic/Tryouts

2011-08-09T09:28:00.000-06:00

Clinic and Tryouts for girls 8th grade and under will be held Thursday, August 18th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. We will be making two teams. (Final cut will be posted on this website the following day.)

There is a $10 fee for this Clinic/Tryout, payable at the door. (Please make checks payable to LPVolley.)

It is always a good idea to get a physical before starting any rigorous athletic activity, and we recommend it, but proof of a physical exam is not required for this tryout. (LPVolley and the Junior Knights program cannot be held liable for any injuries incurred at clinics.)

Parents: it is important that you be somewhat early to drop off your players so that we can get paperwork taken care of before coaching starts at 6pm. We like to start right on the dot. (It is sometimes the case that we go overtime at the end, however, so don't be concerned if the girls don't come out right on the dot.)

The Junior Knights teams play in the Factory league, which plays on Mondays/Wednesdays (at the XSI Factory). These teams will be practicing on Monday/Wednesday/Friday (evenings), dependent on their game schedules.

Come prepared to play hard-- dress appropriately for volleyball, bring your kneepads, good shoes, ankle braces if needed, and a refillable water bottle!
