Dear ASU Volleyball Parents:
Greetings from the ASU Volleyball Program! I hope that you are enjoying your summer. As August approaches, we are very excited about this upcoming season. With ten players that all received significant playing time and another incredibly talented group of newcomers headed to San Angelo, we hope to continue our upward climb and challenge for both Lone Star Conference and NCAA regional titles. 2009 put us on the doorstep to greatness. Finishing 3rd in the LSC and ranked 9th in the region poll are things that most of our conference opponents would be excited about. While we are happy with that success, we are not satisfied with it. 2010 is the year that ASU busts through that door and heads into the next step in its success, the NCAA tournament!
One thing that I have learned over the years is that the most successful collegiate volleyball programs cannot do it by themselves. They really depend on the support of not only the school itself, but also that of the players’ parents and program alumni. That kind of support can come in many forms including attending matches, preparing pre or post-game meals for the team when they are on the road in your area, offering the team a place to stay on road trips and making financial donations. All of these things not only make your daughter’s experience at ASU better, but they make others want to be a part of it.
We are once again reaching out to you and our alumni to ask for support in our upcoming season. We did this for the first time in program history last summer and it was very successful. By joining our Parent Support Team, you are helping to ensure that the building blocks to a successful season are firmly in place. Our basic membership plan will allow you to receive two ASU Volleyball T-shirts, a 2010 ASU Volleyball Media Guide, a subscription to our electronic volleyball newsletter, and FREE access to all of our home volleyball webcasts if you cannot attend in person.
We have also come up with a way to put your name on one of our matches. Our match sponsor plan will allow you to receive all the benefits of our basic membership, plus the ability to be the match sponsor for one of our 12 home matches. Your name will be listed as our match sponsor in that night’s game program and you will receive an autographed ball and an engraved plaque to honor you as our match sponsor for that contest.
Your donation will help us in a number of ways. It allows us to travel a little more comfortably, upgrade our equipment, augment our recruiting and scholarship budgets and play the teams that will help us compete for conference, regional and national championships. I invite you to consider joining our Parent Support Team for 2010. It is an opportunity to support both your daughter and something that is extremely important to her. I look forward to a great year!!
Sincerely,
Chuck Waddington
