USA W: Hooker returns to NT, but under special conditions

Hooker

Head coach Karch Kiraly and CEO of US National Team, Doug Beal, were especially exposed to the pressure which was mostly coming from University of Texas athletic department where Hooker spent four years before becoming a professional.

Thus, Kiraly, who extended the contract with USA NT, had to forget about personal dispute with opposite hitter and offer her a new chance in 2016, which might include Olympic Games. US Volleyball Federation composed a special contract, a „one-time document created specifically to address the relationship between Destinee Hooker and the US National Team“:

THE TEAM AGREES:

• To set high standards that provide quality training and instruction, including character education. • To provide a safe and orderly environment. • To provide clearly defined rules and regulations and to apply them fairly to all participants. • To provide equal opportunities to excel based upon each individuals skills and to evaluate those fairly on how they will contribute to the team both on the court and in the gym.

THE INVITEE AGREES TO:

• Be prepared and on time for practice every day. • Accept responsibility for my behavior. • Be respectful of teammates and coaches and to foster goodwill within the team. • To have knowledge of and be willing to follow all team rules. • To follow Social Media Use guidelines as established by USWNT. • To seek no exceptions to team rules and to follow team procedures for dealing with family emergencies.

THE TEAM FURTHER STATES:

• That this Contract is a onetime document created specifically to address the relationship between Destinee Hooker and the US Women’s National Volleyball Team. • That the following “Invitation to Attend” is probationary for 120 days and during that time the USWNT may without cause cancel this Contract and ask the Invitee to depart from the USWNT training facilities. • The US Women’s National Volleyball Team hereby extends an invitation to Destinee Hooker. • That Destinee Hooker present herself to the US National Team training center no later than May 21, 2016.

Recall that Hooker publicly expressed desire to return to NT.
