Volleyball
Coaches Needed for Summer 2012 Season!!!
Coaches' Clinic will be held on Monday, April 30, 2012 at 7:00pm.
ABOUT US:
GCAA has offered volleyball to the Cleveland and surrounding communities since 2007. Each year since ten we have grown in numbers and now have over 65 registered during both our fall and spring seasons. We currently have two age divisions, our younger division, ages 8-10, and our older division, ages 11-14. We hope to be able to increase these this fall with a wider range of ages and more divisions.
During our fall season we break into teams and have practices and games. During our spring season we offer Skills and Drills Clinics, with clinics for both age groups twice a week. For the 2012 "Spring" season we will actually begin later this year than in past years in order to accomodate some of our middle school aged players who are involved in spring sports in their schools. We have been excited to have visiting coaches from West Johnston High School, Cleveland High School, and Cleveland Middle come instruct our players. For our 2012 Spring/Summer Season we will also several have coaches from some Triangle area club volleyball teams come and instruct the players during our clinics.
OUR MISSION:
Our goal is to teach players the fundamentals of the game, to work on individual growth as a player, to teach teamwork and sportsmanship, and to have a great time! Many of our players have goals of playing at higher levels and it is our goal to prepare them for it to the best of our ability.
GAMES AND PRACTICES:
During both our fall and spring seasons we make an effort not to schedule any of our practices on Wednesday evenings in order to leave that night open for area church activities.
Practices for our Spring/Summer Season will begin with clinics on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the first four weeks of the season. The second four weeks of the season we will divide into teams and have practices and games. Practices will most likely be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays and be determined once we get into the season and form the teams. Games have traditionally been on Friday nights, but we may need to expand the schedule this year to include more time slots for games depending on the number of registrants.
SPRING/SUMMER 2012 SEASON:
Our Spring/Summer 2012 Season will begin on Tuesday, May 1st.
The first four weeks of our Summer season will begin with clinics to instruct players in some of the basics of volleyball, as well as give further training and coaching for some of our more experienced and advanced players. We will divide by age groups, with our younger ages (8-11) beginning at 6:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and our older ages (12-14) beginning at 7:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will also divide into groups within these age groups based on experience and skill level in order to accomodate players at their individual level of play.
