Boys Club Season 2009

VISION

For the Puget Sound Region to be the vehicle for the development of Boys Volleyball in Western Washington

GOALS

Creating a network of clubs, coaches and directors at all levels to grow and improve of boys’ volleyball teams/programs.

Establish venues for these teams to compete against one another in a tournament setting.

Build up events; invite clubs from outside the area with the long term goal of hosting a Boys National Event here in the Puget Sound Region.

We recognize that there is huge difference in the opportunities that currently exist for boys in our Region as compared to girls, and so the boy’s membership fee is just $15, versus the $60 charged for girls.  The purpose of this low fee to encourage as many boys, and as many teams, as possible to participate in the coming season. 

Age Divisions:

Due to the limited number of teams within our region there is a rough division based on school age High school & Middle School. When hosting Middle School event in region please note there are two possible net heights. Recognizing the developmental nature of boys, we encourage the use of the lowest appropriate net height for the majority of the boys playing such an event.

Height of Net

U15/18 2.43m (7’ 11” 5/8) PSR  High School Teams

U13/14 2.24m (7’ 4”) PSR Middle school Teams

U11/12 2.13 m (7’0”) PSR Middle School Teams

Tournaments

In an effort to accommodate family, religious and other sports obligations, most current tournaments are planned for Sunday afternoons. Doors open at noon. Your team must be able to field a full score/ref. Suggested fee for PSR teams playing these ½ day events is $50 contact club director hosting the event to register your team and for more information.

May 23 & 24, 2009 -  High School, WVBA/Cascade host boys Friendship Exhibition during the  Emerald City Classic at UW fee $175 due May 1^st  register  contact BJ Weitl bjweitl@yahoo.com

The Emerald City Classic Boys Exhibition Tournament concluded5/24. In four years we have grown from a single JR boys’ exhibition match to a multi day international friendship tournament that has become the best venue to get the word out about powers and excitement of high level play out to the young guys and gals :) in the Pacific Northwest.  We could not do this without the generous support of WVBA who donates the court space as well as guides and supports Cascade’s efforts in running the JR boys division at ECC. Full results and photos will be posted at www.wvba.org under the ECC link.
