Private Lessons

12 and Under Open Gyms For the summer and fall of 2011, NorCal will be offering open gyms for girls ages 12 and under. These open gyms will be organized by NorCal coaches. There will be some instruction with a lot of playing! All open gyms are from 10:30am-12:00pm at: NorCal Volleyball Facility 7069 Commerce Circle Pleasanton, Ca 94588 Schedule dates are: August 6, 13, 27 September 3,10,17 October 1,8,15,22,29 We are only taking 30 girls per Open Gym, so please email Sara Bungarz at Sarabungarz@yahoo.com to reserve your spot. We will also take drop-in players until we meet maximum capacity. High School Fall Clinics NorCal will not offer clinics for high school age volleyball players. There are numerous reasons why we chose not to offer clinics for this age group, but the main reason is because we feel that high school athletes should be focusing on their high school season at this time. We do not want the upcoming club season to interfere with high school athletics anymore than it needs to, nor do we want to risk a high school player getting injured at one of our clinics during the high school season. Another important reason why we do not offer clinics at the high school level is because we employ many of the best high school and college coaches in the area. They also feel that that 100% of their attention should go to their current teams and players that they are coaching at this time. We hope you understand why we do not offer clinics for this age group. If you are a parent of player of a girl who is in elementary school or middle school we offer 12 and under clinics as well as Fall Ball. We hope that you are getting a number of quality reps at both these events prior to tryouts. NorCal Summer camps are now complete. Thank you for your participation. NorCal Summer Camps 2011 NorCal will host three different types of camps and clinics for the 2011 summer, All Skills Camps, Positions Specific Clinics, and Doubles.

Fall Ball $500-wait list now open!!! Pre-High School Athletes only Back by VERY popular demand, NorCal Volleyball Club is pleased to offer a 10-week-long practice season for pre-high-school-aged girls. Many middle schools in the area surrounding our club’s Facility in Pleasanton do not offer volleyball in the Fall. We are offering the opportunity for these players, and anyone else that is interested, to continue to be instructed in the fundamentals of the game at a high level prior to Club tryouts in November. The League will run from Aug. 16 through October 20. Four groups of fourteen players (4x14=56) will be organized into four teams which will practice and scrimmage on Monday and Wednesday nights either from 5:30-7:15 or from 7:15-9:00. The four groups will be organized by skill level. The players with the higher skills will practice at the later time slot. Jay Felch and Jeff Cole (who are both certified in the Gold Medal Squared system) will coach all four teams and will each have an assistant coach. Assistants will be Kathy Higbee, Alaynah Fiedler and Sara Bungarz. We reserve the right to move players between teams and time slots depending on changing relative skill level and progress through the 10 week session. While it is not part of the planned activities, efforts will be made to coordinate matches against competing clubs who may also be offering similar programs. This program sells out every year and very quickly. So please sign up right away if you would like to be a part of it. Click here to sign up. 2010 Summer Camp Sessions are now closed. Thanks for participating, we will be back in 2011 to serve you! mailto:Sarabungarz@yahoo.comshapeimage_2_link_0
