Club Utah Volleyball

Practices are in full swing and tournaments begin this weekend.  The 15/16 Age Group playing in the Power League start us off this weekend with a seeding tournament.  Check the 2012 Rosters Page to see which league your team plays in.

We have a link to the tournament schedule on our website.  From our homepage, click on Touraments, then Regional.  The dates of the tournaments are usually set for the entire season, while the location of each tournament may change up until days before the event.  Check the site regularly for updates.  The IVA is responsible for the schedule and location of tournaments.

Les Calles has been handing out the club apparel as it has become available.  If you have any concerns with your apparel, contact Les at lkcalles@gmail.com.

Lastly, be sure to catch up on your monthly payments.  Past due accounts result in the inability of athletes to play in tournaments.  So far, the down payment, December, and now January payments are due.  If you have any question on your account balance, email Scott Lee at clubutahvb@yahoo.com.

The January payment is due this week.  Our preferred method of payment is by check, made out to Club Utah.  Payments can be given to Scott Lee or Colleen Sorensen at The Factory, or mailed to the following address:

Club Utah Volleyball
330 East 4075 North
Provo, UT 84604

Please put your athlete’s name and team on the memo line of your check.

We had an exciting first two weeks of practice!  We know December is crazy, but thanks so much to parents and players for making time for practice.  There will be no practice the week of December 19th or 26th.

Practices start again beginning Monday, January 2nd.  Even if there is a Monday holiday, our teams continue with practice through the winter months.

Have a great Christmas Break!

The December payment is due this week.  Our preferred method of payment is by check, made out to Club Utah.  Payments can be given to Scott Lee or Colleen Sorensen at The Factory, or mailed to the following address:

Club Utah Volleyball
330 East 4075 North
Provo, UT 84604

Please put your athlete’s name and team on the memo line of your check.

We have a couple of slots within the 12′s and possibly some other teams.  If you are interested in adding your athlete to our club, please contact us at clubutahvb@yahoo.com for more information.

Parents and Players,

We are one week away from practices starting.  All teams will begin practice on either Monday, December 5th or Tuesday, December 6th.  For those who did not turn in their USA Volleyball Membership card at the Parent Meeting, please have those completed and turned in next week at practice.

There are 4 critical components to a completed membership card:

1.  Club Utah is listed on the front of the card (you cannot cross out another club and write in our club, it must be listed properly for the card to work.  If another club is listed there, call the IVA to change it for you).

2.  Attach a current photo of your athlete on the back.

3.  Laminate the card.

4.  Be sure the card is listed for the 2012 Season.

Turn in your card to your coach, who will keep it for the duration of the season to be reviewed at every tournament.  Several cards already turned in have been missing one or more of the above components so they need to be redone.  Your coach will have an inventory list at practice of who still needs to turn in a card.

Please bring at least 1 parent and your athlete to learn more about the club season, turn in paperwork, pay your deposit, and allow for your athlete to try on jerseys, spandex, knee pads, etc.  The parent meetings will be held in the Dance Room upstairs at the XSI Factory in Lehi.  The dates and times are as follows:

Check our Teams page to see the rosters for our teams.  Thanks so much to everyone who came to tryouts.  Our club is so excited to get underway with a new season of volleyball.

The next step after tryouts is to commit to the club by sending an email through the CONTACT button on the left of our homepage.  Be sure to include your athlete’s name and team you are committing to.  If you are not playing for our club this year, we would also like to find that out as well.

Once you have committed, please visit our Teams, then Paperwork page to print out all of the needed paperwork for our Parent Meeting.  Our main page has the times listed for those meetings next week.

Elite Teams have been posted to our Team Roster page.  If you did not make an Elite Team, please come to the Competitive Tryout Wed/Thurs at no additional cost.

There is a strong possibilty of fielding another 17/18′s Elite team.  Please contact us if you are interested in playing for this combined team.
