October 2010 Club Tryouts in November!
|
Happy Halloween Vipers!
Congratulations to all our 14 and under players who made teams at our first round of tryouts. We had a tremendous amount of talent in the gym and the tryout was a big success for our kids. Practices will begin for 14 and under players the week of November 1st and coaches will be contacting everyone this week with more details.
Up next, our 15 and older high school players will tryout in November! Read below, and on our website, for more tryout details. We are really excited to continue improving as a club and take our teams to the next level. If you want to get ready for tryouts, join us for the FREE Viper High School Open Gym on Sundays. The first Sunday is tomorrow, October 17th from 5:30-7pm. Read more about this below.
The 2009-2010 Season was a great success for Viper, but each year we strive to make BIG improvements and better serve our community of volleyball players and families. Check out our website, come by and visit Rancho Sports Center or talk to one of our coaches about the great changes at Viper Volleyball.
One exciting thing is our NEW Core Training for Elite & National Team players. Core Training will strengthen, condition and increase our players agility and vertical jumping abilities. This is a NEW program and we are really looking forward to it helping our players compete at their peak. Another NEW thing we are doing this season is Combined Team Training. Our combined training will provide all our teams and players with high level technical training, and instruction.
See you on the court,
Dana Burkholder
Club Director

Tournament Information - All Teams  Club Tournaments generally begin in the month of January. Even before you know what specific team you're on, you can look to see when your age group plays and plan ahead. Once you know what team you're on, double check the calendar so you don't miss any changes! Make sure to look for your teams age group and division (if applicable). You will find a basic SCVA help page on our website that is very helpful. Elite and National Teams play in SCVA tournaments. Most SCVA Tournaments are held in San Diego, Temecula, Anaheim, Ontario and Long Beach areas. Exact tournament locations, pools and start times are posted on the website on the Wednesday or Thursday before the tournament. This information is posted on SCVA.org under the navigation icon "Juniors," then go to "girls" and then go to "weekend sites." All Local Teams play Spike-Fest Tournaments. These tournaments are held in Poway or Temecula. Most of them are already posted so take a look at Spike-Fest.com! |
