Should an overnight camper decide to drive themselves to camp, they must surrender their keys upon checking-in to camp. RECRUITING / SCHOLARSHIPS: While Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC is not affiliated with the Indiana University Department of Athletics, NCAA recruiting rules prohibit us from offering scholarships or other financial aid to campers.

Once camp has been officially dismissed, tours of Indiana University are available, but must be set-up ahead of time with Jason Oliver, Indiana Volleyball Assistant Coach & Recruiting Coordinator. T-SHIRTS: This summer, each camper will receive an exclusive Indiana Volleyball Camp T-Shirt. A camper must register and check-in to camp before receiving their t-shirt.

Water and Gatorade will be provided, but campers are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. While kneepads are optional, gym shoes are required.

CAMP STAFF The coaching staff from Indiana University Volleyball will serve as the primary instructors and camp directors for the entire duration of the 2017 Summer Camp Series. In addition, former and current Indiana University Volleyball student-athletes will serve as court coaches and overnight supervisors. If numbers warrant outside employment, Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC will hire additional coaches with collegiate and/or Junior Olympic club experience. All employees will have passed an extensive background check and will wear identification throughout the entire camp duration. SHERRY DUNBAR-KRUZAN PAUL KONCIR JASON OLIVER Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan: With Head Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan at the helm, the Indiana Volleyball program has enjoyed a rebirth and some of its highest success in program history. Entering her 11th season on the sidelines for the Cream and Crimson in 2017, Dunbar-Kruzan has continuously raised the bar of Indiana Volleyball. In 2016, the Hoosiers won at least 17 matches for only the fourth time since 2001 and were NCAA Tournament eligible for the first time since 2010. In 2010, Coach Dunbar-Kruzan led the program s first AVCA First-Team All-America honoree Ashley Benson and the Indiana Hoosiers to the Sweet 16, a first for IU Volleyball. The 2010 squad finished the historic season with a 23-12 record and a 24th national ranking. Before arriving to Bloomington, Dunbar-Kruzan led College of Charleston to an impressive 113-22 record while capturing the Southern Conference title on three separate occasions and was named the SoCon Coach of the Year twice. An Ellettsville, IN native, Dunbar-Kruzan was a four-year starter at Ball State University. Paul Koncir: Associate Head Coach Paul Koncir will be in his eighth season in 2017. Nationally known as elite trainer, Koncir has helped re-establish Indiana s presence in the nationally renowned Big Ten Conference. Koncir helped guide Taylor Lebo to the top of the Career Aces in the Rally Scoring Era with over 128 aces. In addition, he mentored Caitlin Cox to the top of the Single Season Digs and Career Digs categories. He also mentored Samantha Thrower to tie the national record for hitting percentage in a single match, going 15-for-15 in a match against Buffalo. No stranger to the head coaching ranks, Koncir led Towson Volleyball to multiple Colonial Athletic Association Championship appearances. Jason Oliver: Assistant Coach Jason Oliver is entering his second season in 2017. Oliver mentored former IU Setter Megan Tallman to the top of the Career Assists in the Rally Scoring Era. Before his arrival to Bloomington, Oliver was head volleyball coach at High Point University. Known as an elite trainer and recruiter, Coach Oliver transformed the High Point program and brought the Panthers to heights never before achieved. In 2010, High Point won their first Big South Conference Title in program history thus earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament. In his eight seasons as head coach, High Point recorded over 125 wins - making Coach Oliver the most successful head coach in program history. The above head shots appear with permission from the Indiana University Department of Athletics, all rights reserved.

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR DAY-CAMP VOLLEYBALL CAMPERS While we hope each of our campers have a great and unforgettable experience with us this summer, safety is our primary concern. Campers adherence to these rules and expectations is extremely critical to making our camps safe, rewarding and fun for all participants. Expectations for Camper Behavior: Follow all instructions of camp staff and immediately consult your camp coach if you are uncertain about any of the instructions. Label all personal belongings, especially equipment. Indiana Volleyball is not responsible for any lost or stolen items while participating at camp. Notify a camp coach as soon as any problem arises, whether it be big or small. Behaviors Not Permitted: The use of profanity or inappropriate language, whether it be written or verbal. Leaving the camp area as designated by the camp director. Indiana University is located in the heart of Bloomington, so campers are not permitted to walk freely around campus or any surrounding areas. Inappropriate use of a cell phone or cell phone camera during camp. Indiana Volleyball Camps reserves the right to confiscate phones for the duration of camp. Damaging or stealing University or other s property. Camp fees do not cover payment for any lost or stolen items. While unacceptable conduct is not anticipated from our campers, violation of any camp rule or expectation could result in disciplinary action, including dismissal from camp. Refunds will not be issued to campers dismissed from camp. Should a camper suspect any illegal or inappropriate behavior, they are expected to report to the lead court coach immediately. We expect that parents or guardians of campers will be available (by cell phone) during the duration of camp in the event that the camp director needs to speak with them about a camper s behavior. Campers and parents/legal guardians should review this important information prior to arriving at camp. Questions may be directed to Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC at (812) 779-7576 or IndianaVolleyballCamps@gmail.com.

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR OVERNIGHT VOLLEYBALL CAMPERS While we hope each of our campers have a great and unforgettable experience with us this summer, safety is our primary concern. Campers adherence to these rules and expectations is extremely critical to making our camps safe, rewarding and fun for all participants. Indiana University is a large campus in the heart of Bloomington. There is adult supervision at all times in the residence center and during all structured camp activities. Campers may have down time during which an adult is available but may not be directly monitoring all activities (in the residence center, during a break or just prior to lights out). Expectations for Camper Behavior (On The Court): Follow all instructions of camp staff and immediately consult your camp coach if you are uncertain about any of the instructions. Follow the camp schedule and report on time for all sessions. Participate in all scheduled activities (including camp meals, if offered). Only the camp director may grant permission to be excused. If you are ill or need medical attention, please consult the First Responder. Attendance will always be taken. Keep your camp coaches informed of your whereabouts at all times. Label all personal belongings, especially equipment. Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Notify a camp coach as soon as any problem arises, whether it be big or small. Expectations for Camper Behavior (Residence Center): Staying overnight in a college residence center is a unique experience and privilege at Indiana University. With this comes more responsibility for all overnight campers. Campers are expected to keep their room clean at all times. If there is an issue with a room, campers should contact the residence center supervisor and/or Camp Director immediately to report the issue. Campers should keep track of their personal room key and never loan it to another camper for any reason. When leaving their room (even if only for a small amount of time), campers should take the extra precaution of checking their door. Indiana University, Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC and the residence center are not responsible for lost or stolen items. If there is suspicion of theft, campers should contact the Camp Director immediately. Campers should use the buddy system, which is your assigned roommate, when in transit. DO NOT leave the residence center without being accompanied by a member of the camp staff. If a camper leaves the residence center for any reason, they will immediately be dismissed from camp. Visitors, especially those of the opposite sex, are strictly prohibited from entering a dorm room...period. Campers are expected to be in their own rooms at the time deemed as lights out, which is normally 11:00 p.m. unless otherwise stated. Campers should NOT take anything from the residence center that does not belong to them. Furniture should not be moved and fire alarms should not be tampered with. The cost of cleaning, replacing or repairing any damaged or stolen University property will be forwarded to the campers who were assigned that specific room. No matter who is deemed guilty, all tenants of the room will be held responsible. Behaviors Not Permitted: The use of profanity or inappropriate language, whether it be written or verbal. Leaving the camp area as designated by the camp director. Indiana University is located in the heart of Bloomington, so campers are not permitted to walk freely around campus or any surrounding areas. Also, campers are not permitted to leave camp early without notifying the Camp Director. Inappropriate use of a cell phone or cell phone camera during camp. Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC reserves the right to confiscate phones for the duration of camp. Damaging or stealing University or other s property. Camp fees do not cover payment for any lost or stolen items. Possession and/or distribution of indecent literature or images. Possession and/or consumption of alcohol, tobacco, illegal substances, matches, fire lighters, hot plates, fireworks or lethal weapons. While we understand volleyball is an emotional sport, harassment, bullying or intimidation of any nature is strictly forbidden. Excessive noise and/or horseplay. The use of a vehicle. If a camper drives to an overnight camp, they may be required to give their keys to the camp director at check-in. The keys will only be reissued at the conclusion of camp or if there is a family emergency in which guardians must call the Camp Director to coordinate camper dismissal and return. Violations of all state and federal laws.

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR INDIANA VOLLEYBALL CAMPS STAFF PAGE 1 Each year, Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC welcomes numerous campers from all over the country. As a member of our camp staff, you are essentially the heart and soul of our product. While all areas of our camps are crucial to the overall success, it is your role that serves as the most important component of what we are building at Indiana. Your efforts, diligence, high energy and enthusiasm will greatly influence whether each camper has a safe, beneficial and enjoyable camp experience. Briefly stated, your responsibilities as a camp staff member include, but are not limited to: 1. Ensuring the safety of each camper; 2. Following the direction of the camp director and carrying out the camp s supervision and instruction plan; 3. Creating an opportunity for each camper to have a remarkable experience by providing instruction that is appropriate for each camper s age and ability, and encouragement that enables each camper to gain confidence needed to learn new skills; 4. Serving as an appropriate role model for all campers in your care at all times. The Lead Court Coach leading your camp will discuss your responsibilities and assign you specific duties during the pre-camp staff meeting. Ensuring Camper Safety: Camper safety is the paramount goal of Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC. In order to promote a safe environment for all campers, camp staff should: Always think safety first. If an activity appears dangerous, stop it right away. Read the camp s Emergency Action Procedures and make sure you know what to do if an emergency occurs. Read the Camper Rules and Expectations and review them with your assigned group of campers. Monitor camper behavior to ensure the campers are following the Camper Rules and Expectations. If you are staying in the residence center, review fire alarm evacuation procedures with the campers on your floor. Wear your staff credential whenever you are on duty. Please wear the staff uniform t-shirt while working camp. Maintain a watchful eye for any person who is in a designated camp area but is not a camper or other camp staff member. If you suspect any illegal or inappropriate behavior at any time, please report the activity to the Camp Director immediately. Take attendance as required by the lead court coach. You are responsible for everyone in your assigned group. When escorting campers by foot from one camp site to another, make sure they stay on the sidewalk and only cross the street - as a group - at a designated crosswalk. Immediately report all injuries to the facility First Responder and Camp Director. Carefully monitor hydration levels and mandate frequent water breaks...be persistent. Never be alone with a camper behind closed doors. If you need to speak privately with a camper, bring another camp staff member along. Report the details of the meeting to the Camp Director immediately following the conference. While you are working, only use a cell phone for camp-related business. Unnecessary cell phone use distracts. With that said, it is expected that all group leaders have their charged cell phones available and off silent mode at all times. Following the Camp Director s Instructions: The Camp Director is responsible for overseeing the operation of the camp, ensuring camper safety and supervising all camp staff. Camp staff should: Follow the instructions of the Camp Director, and, if necessary, ask for clarification of any instructions which are not clear. Attend all scheduled camp activities to which you are assigned and be on time. Promptly report any issues or problems to the Camp Director.

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR INDIANA VOLLEYBALL CAMPS STAFF PAGE 2 Creating Opportunities for Remarkable Experiences: Creating remarkable experiences for our campers is an important goal of Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC. Camps Since camp staff have frequent and daily contact with campers, they play an important role in reaching this goal. Camp staff should: Take an active approach to learn names quickly. Campers tend to be more involved when you use their actual name as opposed to hey you! Look for the camper who may have difficulty integrating into camp. Campers who attend camp on their own may need help meeting other campers, particularly at the start of camp. Start each instruction session with an explanation of the session s goal. Remember that not all campers learn the same way or at the same pace. Offer feedback and look for teachable moments (but remember, be vocal with your praise and discreet with your constructive criticism...this is not a tryout). If a drill or activity is not working, ask the Camp Director whether you should change it. Serving as a Role Model: Indiana Volleyball Camp, LLC s proud tradition has been built on the accomplishments and character of its coaches and staff. A mantra we operate under is, You win with people and this statement holds true for our camps. It s crucial to understand that you are held to a higher standard when you wear the Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC logo and our campers view all of us as important role models. Camp staff should: Be positive and patient (in your spoken words and body language) with all campers, not just the most talented ones. Never use alcohol, drugs or any type of tobacco products at any time while working a camp. Never use foul or inappropriate language at any time while working at camp. Be mindful to immediately stop a camper s usage of foul or inappropriate language as well. Not bring outside guests to any camp site or into the dormitory until the camp has been dismissed. Child Safety and Protection: Indiana Volleyball Camps, LLC is committed to ensuring a safe environment that provides for the protection of children and teens participating in camps. This includes the obligation to perform background checks on all staff, properly train all staff, and immediately report any illegal or inappropriate behavior, including sexual behavior, and allegations of such behavior to law enforcement.

2017 SUMMER CAMP SERIES EMERGENCY ACTION PROCEDURES PAGE 1 Chain of Command: The Camp Director, First Responder or Law Enforcement may determine when to remove campers from a playing surface. The use of cell phones is a timely way to communicate this decision to other camp staff. Once the decision to remove campers has been made, the Camp Director will notify the other camp staff of this decision. Weather Forecasts and Severe Weather Monitoring: Prior to each camp session, the Camp Director and First Responder will check local forecasts to determine whether severe weather is being anticipated. During the camp, the Camp Director and First Responder will continue to monitor local forecasts and Indiana University s alert system. IN THE CASE OF POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER AND/OR LIGHTNING, ALL CAMP STAFF WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO KEEP THEIR CAMP GROUPS INSIDE AND SECURE UNTIL THE FIRST REPONDER GIVES FINAL APPROVAL TO TRANSIT BETWEEN FACILITIES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP CAMPERS CALM AND ORDERLY AT ALL TIMES. LIGHTNING SAFETY PROCEDURE Field Clearance: If it is determined that lightning is occurring within 15 miles and is moving towards campus, the First Responder and/or Camp Director will notify camp staff that all campers should be cleared from the field and that they should seek shelter immediately. Transition between facilities may be delayed until conditions are deemed safe. Safe Shelter: Seek shelter in the nearest athletics facility. Avoid being in the highest point of the field and do not take shelter near or under trees and light poles. Wait for the Camp Director to provide further instructions prior to resuming an activity or returning to the field. Managing Victims of Lightning Strike: Survey the scene for safety (lightning victims do not carry charge and are safe to touch). Call 911 and contact the First Responder and Camp Director. If necessary, move the victim with care to a safer location (remember, do not seek shelter under a tree). Evaluate victim and begin CPR if necessary. Confirm that emergency service is on the way. Evaluate and treat for shock, fractures and/or burns. Notify Camp Director. TORNADO PROCEDURE In the event that severe weather is imminent or a warning has been issued, campers and camp staff should immediately take cover. The rule of thumb for safe cover is to find a substantial (concrete/brick) structure with a western exposure. Below is a list of athletics facilities and the specific areas within those structure that could be utilized: University Gym (locker-rooms on bottom level) Assembly Hall (court-level corridors, Cook Hall southeast entrance hallway) Cook Hall (practice facility-level, Assembly Hall northwest entrance hallway) HPER (lower level locker-rooms or lower level stairwell) Residence Centers (lower level bathrooms or emergency stairwell) Bloomington High School North (lower level bathrooms)

2017 SUMMER CAMP SERIES EMERGENCY ACTION PROCEDURES PAGE 2 FIRE PROCEDURE In the rare event that a facility catches fire, camp staff will immediately direct campers out of the building using the nearest and safest facility exit in a calm and orderly manner. Camp staff will take a detailed roster check to ensure all campers are accounted for. If a camper is deemed to be missing, contact the lead court coach immediately. The lead court coach for the specific facility will be in charge of calling 911. After 911 has been reached, the lead court coach will report to the Camp Director. Each facility has detailed fire routes posted and should be reviewed by all employees of Indiana Volleyball Camps. Once the situation is under control (campers accounted for, firefighters present, etc.), Camp Director will contact Indiana University. LOST CAMPER PROCEDURE 1.) Camp staff must account for their campers at all times. Camp staff should keep camp rosters with them and regularly check attendance against their roster, particularly in transition times when campers are moving from one location to another. - TEAM CAMP: While we expect high school coaches to assist in supervising their teams, the lead court coach must check with each high school coach to confirm all campers are present before any activity is started. 2.) Upon determining that a camper is unaccounted for (through attendance procedures, notification by another camp staff member or camper or by any other means), immediately notify the Camp Director. 3.) Camp staff and the Camp Director should immediately meet to exchange information on the camper s possible whereabouts. The Camp Director should also check camp records to determine: * Whether the camper reported to camp that day * Whether the camper left early 4.) At this initial meeting, the Camp Director should make note of the following information: * Time * Camper name and age * Where camper was last seen * Detailed camper description (height, weight, clothing, etc.) 5.) The Camp Director and/or a designee will immediately search the area where the camper was last seen and then the entire camp area. This should include meal locations and the residence center. 6.) If the missing camper was not located after steps 1-5 are completed, then: a.) CALL 911 - Camp Director should remain at current location and wait for police to arrive b.) Contact parents - Camp Director should contact parents to advise them and determine if a camper was picked up early without notification. c.) Contact Indiana University Athletics / Rebecca Pany. 7.) Camp Director should direct other camp staff to continue search until police arrive. 8.) As soon as police arrive, police will assume control over the search of the camper. Camp Director should have cell phone accessible at all times. When taking roll call before a camp session starts, it s safe to practice the CDD Rule : - Check - Double-Check - Do It All Over Again

HEADS UP CONCUSSION IN HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS A FACT SHEET FOR PARENTS What is a concussion? A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury. Concussions are caused by a bump or blow to the head. Even a ding, getting your bell rung, or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious. You can t see a concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, seek medical attention right away. What are the signs and symptoms of a concussion? If your child has experienced a bump or blow to the head during a game or practice, look for any of the following signs of a concussion: SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY ATHLETE Headache or pressure in head Nausea or vomiting Balance problems or dizziness Double or blurry vision Sensitivity to light Sensitivity to noise Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy Concentration or memory problems Confusion Just not feeling right or feeling down SIGNS OBSERVED BY PARENTS/GUARDIANS Appears dazed or stunned Is confused about assignment or position Forgets an instruction Is unsure of game, score, or opponent Moves clumsily Answers questions slowly Loses consciousness (even briefly) Shows mood, behavior, or personality changes How can you help your child prevent a concussion or other serious brain injury? Ensure that they follow their coach s rules for safety and the rules of the sport. Encourage them to practice good sportsmanship at all times. Make sure they wear the right protective equipment for their activity. Protective equipment should fit properly and be well maintained. Wearing a helmet is a must to reduce the risk of a serious brain injury or skull fracture. However, helmets are not designed to prevent concussions. There is no concussion-proof helmet. So, even with a helmet, it is important for kids and teens to avoid hits to the head. What should you do if you think your child has a concussion? SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY. A health care professional will be able to decide how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for your child to return to regular activities, including sports. KEEP YOUR CHILD OUT OF PLAY. Concussions take time to heal. Don t let your child return to play the day of the injury and until a health care professional says it s OK. Children who return to play too soon while the brain is still healing risk a greater chance of having a repeat concussion. Repeat or later concussions can be very serious. They can cause permanent brain damage, affecting your child for a lifetime. TELL YOUR CHILD S COACH ABOUT ANY PREVIOUS CONCUSSION. Coaches should know if your child had a previous concussion. Your child s coach may not know about a concussion your child received in another sport or activity unless you tell the coach. If you think your teen has a concussion: Don t assess it yourself. Take him/her out of play. Seek the advice of a health care professional. It s better to miss one game than the whole season. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/concussion. April 2013
