Cobb Atlanta Update
October 14, 2009
Players and Parents,

Club volleyball season is almost upon us! Below you'll find important reminders about tryouts and information for parents. Please check the Cobb Atlanta website often over the next few weeks, in case emergency changes must be made to dates/locations for tryouts and for additional information. To learn more about the coaches and fees for the 2009-2010 season, check out the FAQ page on our website, along with the team pages. And, as always, if you have any questions, feel free to call or email me.

Thank you!

COBB ATLANTA @ KENNESAW STATE!

Cobb Atlanta Night for KSU volleyball is THIS FRIDAY, October 16th.

Come out and support the Lady Owls Volleyball team of Kennesaw State University. Our very own coach RACHAEL ALBRIGHT will be playing for KSU and tearing it up out on the court!

The game is at KSU and starts at 7:00pm, but get there early to watch an awesome warm-up and dance to the music! There will be serving games and fun activities between games!
 
Be sure to wear your Cobb Atlanta gear and cheer loud! Adults get in for the $3 group fee with a Cobb Atlanta t-shirt; and players are free... but you gotta wear the shirt!
 
Hope to see you there!
