SANTA BARBARA VOLLEYBALL CLUB PROGRAMS
"BLENDERS" (Non-Travel Teams)
Sponsored by Blenders In The Grass!
Blenders is an outstanding opportunity for players who
are not able to participate on our travel teams, but would
like to be a part of a competitive volleyball team.
Players
in the 5th through 8th grades who participate in Blenders
will receive individual instruction, develop their skills,
and participate in organized competition.
The purpose of
Blenders is to teach young players the fundamental skills
so they can possibly play on a travel team in the future.
Blenders begins in February and extends through May.
Sign-ups for Blenders are on a first come, first served basis and usually takes place in late September or early October of each season. There are mandatory team placement evaluations in mid-January and practices begin the first of February.
Players
in Blenders will be placed onto teams who will meet and
train twice a week and participate in friendship scrimmage tournaments organized
by the Club, usually at least once per month. Non-travel teams from other clubs may be invited to attend, as well as there may be some travel to surrounding areas
for tournaments hosted by other local clubs, which varies from season to season.
Blenders has a limited
capacity, therefore, a waiting list will be created once
the Blenders has reached its maximum during the sign-up
period. |
