CLUBONE is a non-profit Volleyball Club committed to providing student-athletes with the opportunity to   develop and enhance their individual and team skills by teaching good sportsmanship, teamwork and   competitiveness. 

OUR VISION is to be known as the Northern Colorado youth sports organization where:

·         Every player is significant and feels it.

·         Healthy competition is coached and encouraged.

·        Play is based on dedication, commitment and performance.  Skill level, position, attitude and work ethic will be the determining factors for evaluating playing time!

·         Integrity is part of every practice, game and success.

OUR MISSION is to create a fresh, fun, supportive and structured environment where student athletes can  advance individual skills and experience.

Club Membership

·         Club membership is open to any interested player.  All players have to be in good standing with RMR before participating in the club.  Positions on the club’s roster and on each team are earned through tryouts and competitive performances.  If a player commits to a team (verbal and/or written) and then switches to another club, that player will be suspended from ClubOne participation for the following club season.   A player’s playing time is based on practice performance, tournament performance, physical and competitive skills, work ethic, position and attitude.  The coaching staff will make decisions regarding starting positions and playing time.

Membership Costs/Payment Fees

·         Each athlete who participates in ClubOne will be required to adhere to the membership fee agreement. 

·         Practice and tournament participation will be denied to players with delinquent accounts, fee or travel, beginning the day after the final due date.  The player will not be eligible to continue participation in the club.  Future fundraising credits cannot be applied to the account to meet the payment schedule.

Season-ending injuries, dismissal from ClubOne or Voluntary Withdrawal from ClubOne

·         If a player has a season-ending injury, player/family will still be financially responsible for 90% of the remaining player fees due in addition to the $400 non-refundable travel deposit for traveling teams.  If a player is dismissed by ClubOne or voluntarily withdraws from ClubOne, that player/family is still financially responsible for all player fees and travel expenses ($400) for traveling teams.

ClubOne Mexican Dinner Fundraiser

·         ClubOne hosts a Club fundraiser each March to help raise money for the Club’s general operating expenses that are not passed on to players.  A percentage of the money collected is donated to the ClubOne Hardship Fund, to ensure its continued availability to families in need.  It is mandatory for each player to fully participate in the ClubOne Fundraiser.  Each player will be responsible for selling $60 worth of dinner tickets (with a maximum total of $100 per family, for families who have siblings that play for ClubOne).  Any monies raised over $60 per player (or $100 per sibling family) will be credited at 100%, directly to the player’s account.  All monies collected in excess of $60, to be applied to the players’ fundraising credits, MUST be received prior to the evening of the Mexican Dinner.  Walk-in guests will not be counted towards any player’s account.  Families may choose to pay the monetary fee of $60 in lieu of soliciting funds; however, the player must be present at the event to support her team and ClubOne.

Hardship Fund

·         ClubOne offers a Hardship Fund for our athletes who qualify.  Athlete’s grades must be in good standing with their Middle or High School.  Documents of current grades must be received with Hardship Fund application.  For more information see the ClubOne website.

ClubOne Membership Expectations & Policies

·         All athletes are expected to attend every practice.  Failure to notify the coach of absences may have an impact on the athlete’s playing time. Excessive tardiness at practices will not be tolerated.
