The ownership at The St. Louis Sports Center (SLSC) has again donated the use of their facility for the evening. We sincerely appreciate this generous donation! As you are probably aware, parking at SLSC can be a challenge especially when the crowd size is large. Therefore, we encourage you to arrive early.

As you approach SLSC that evening you will find attendants stationed to direct you to the closest and most convenient parking spots available at that time. Once the immediate facility parking spaces are full we will begin to use remote parking. You will always have the option to drop off passengers at the facility then be directed to the most convenient spots available at the time. Once again have multiple shuttle buses available to make remote parking as easy as possible. Our best advice is to arrive early and be patient. We assure you, the entertainment we have planned for you during the evening will be worth it!

FAQ’s

1. Why are we doing this raffle?

Participation in any highly competitive and selective youth “club sports” be it soccer, baseball, softball or volleyball can be very costly. HP recognizes the personal commitment and cost burden families take on to provide their children the opportunity play HP club volleyball. We are committed to ensuring your experience at HP is as affordable as possible for every player that chooses our program. Historically, we have done several things to reduce costs that otherwise must be passed to our families. We currently earn revenue through HP volleyball programming, camps, tournaments, clinics, outdoor volleyball, etc. Our annual HP Trivia Night, put on by club volunteers, generates a significant amount of money that is directly deposited into individual and team accounts. We have increased our efforts to obtain sponsorships and partnerships to further reduce costs. These extra efforts generate revenue that is used to reduce the cost burden that would otherwise be passed on to the families of our teams. We are proud to say that only 60% of the overall club cost structure is paid by our families. Our goal is to get that number down to 40% making HP not only the best choice for boys or girls volleyball in the St. Louis area but the most affordable too! As Scott mentioned at our fall commitment nights, our optional and mandatory fundraising efforts are an attempt to give everyone in the club a better experience while creating an opportunity for our families to lessen their out of pocket expenses. This particular fundraiser requires little effort and provides high return on investment.

2. What are some of the programs that we will be funding with these revenues?

· Volleyball Academy for 12s-18s girls, and 15s-18s boys.

· After School Program for 13s-18s girls, and 15s-18s boys.

· Additional coaching assistance.

· Training and Conditioning Equipment.

· Extra practices for all teams.

· College Recruiting Seminars and Meetings.

· Coaches Education and Development

3. Does every family have to participate?

Every family and coach has been asked to sell tickets. Most players have a minimum, which the family is required to sell. Minimum sales requirements were determined by Club leadership, factoring in the amount of resources used by teams, and will be higher at the older age levels. The requirement for your family will be sent to you in your Intro email.

4. What happens if my family chooses not to participate by selling raffle tickets?

If you choose not to sell raffle tickets, your account will be invoiced for an amount equivalent to what your mandatory participation would have been. Funds that are invoiced in this manner will not be used to purchase raffle tickets. Please consult your tax advisor about the tax deductibility of this type of transaction.

5. How do I know if anyone to whom I forwarded the info bought a ticket?

All tickets sales are tracked electronically to the originator. Individuals will be able to log on and see how many tickets they have sold. It is not uncommon for more than half of the sales to come from outside the metro area.

* The sole financial purpose of this event is to help HP players raise funds to offset their volleyball costs. HP STL and player expect the amount of the credit to be 75% of the reservation value, but agree the final amount cannot be determined until all reservation revenue is calculated and full event expenses are deducted. By sending in your registration, you agree the amount of funds shared back, if any, to the player or players listed on this form will be determined solely by High Performance Volleyball.
