As USAV Club Season Starts to come to an End









For many teams this weekends Palm Beach Classic and the Jr. Regional Championships in Orlando on the following weekend will mark the end of a great Club season. A few teams will continue to other events outside of Florida and a few others will compete well into the summer as they have qualified for the Jr Olympics this year in Reno Nevada.

For those of us that either Palm Beach or Orlando will mark the end of the season I suggest that many of you write down one anothers numbers and make plans on getting together through-out the summer. After seeing each other twice a week or more for six months saying good bye and ending things abruptly can become quite a shock. It could be good for both the girls and the parents to get together every now and then and hopefully play some Volleyball.

As the season winds down look to do something special for the coaches, especially if you feel that they did a good job or went above and beyond in their attempt to coach and improve the team.

Few clubs have trophy ceremonies at the end of the year. Personally, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff, I really get a kick from seeing the kids faces light-up from getting a trophy or a medal. if the clubs do not offer it - talk with the different parents on the team and see if you do a ceremony after practice, the last tournament or an end of the season party at a home and give the players something to remember the great club season they had in 2010.

We hope you all make the most of the time left with one-another this season and remember to take plenty of pictures!
