Welcome back members!
I hope all of you had great summer! Get ready to have an awesome semester of racquetball this year! My fellow officers and I have a lot we would like to do for the club, and want to make it an awesome experience for you this year!

Here are the latest developments:
1.       Meetings will be held on Wedensdays AND Thursdays this year. They will be held at Strom Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Center 7:00 PM-9:00 PM. Courts 2, 4-6 will be ours.
2.       The FIRST meeting will be on Wednesday September 12, 2012.
3.       A new waiver system is in place this year.  Everything will now be done online through a computer, tablet or smartphone (Thank God) !  Anyone signing up to participate with the club will have to fill out an online form, accessing the form with their USC username and password (same user and pass you use to log in to Blackboard). 

Waivers must be submitted by Wednesday, September 19, 2012!
4.       A new ladder system will be in place this semester! Ladder rankings will be posted at our new website:  http://gamecockrball.blogspot.com/.
The rules to racquetball, helpful videos, and more will also be posted here, so make sure to check it out frequently!
5.       We tried to keep this club cost free, but unfortunately we have to charge a small amount for dues this semester. Dues will only be $5 for the ENTIRE semester. We have to start charging dues because we found out last semester that we have to pay $4 for sports insurance for each member that is registered. This insurance will cover any catastrophic injury that requires more than $30,000 in treatment, up to a very high amount. Hopefully no one will need to use this, but it is MANDATORY that all sports clubs pay a certain fee for this.
Please don’t skimp on the fee, as it will only require you to sacrifice a Subway Footlong’s cost to pay for dues (Subway will actually be more with tax). Many clubs charge far more (tennis charges $30).
Dues will also be due on Wednesday, September 19, 2012!

6.       Raffles will be done again on occasion, and your attendance will directly correlate with your chances of winning, so make sure to sign in every time you are present at a meeting!
7.       Lastly, our Facebook Page is : https://www.facebook.com/groups/GamecockRacquetballClub/
There are a couple of people that I accidentally directed to the wrong Facebook page, so make sure to like this one!

That about wraps it up for the announcements. I know it’s a lot to digest, but please make sure to read it all!

Best,

Jon Chay

President of Gamecock Racquetball Club
