Husky Volleyball Boys

Husky Volleyball has been around since 1999 and way back in 1999 we were in the regional finals our very first year (and 3 out of our first 4 seasons). Finally in 2009 we were able to finally win a regional championship with our 18 Red team. We're looking forward to keeping that momentum but a lot of it is up to the boys playing. Last year's 18 Red team had several players that were in their 3rd year (or more) of playing club volleyball. It's up to all of you to help recruit your teammates (and especially the younger ones) to play club volleyball this year.

• Family discounts are available, please check the registration page for details. 
• Practices are on Sundays only but tournaments could be on either Saturday or Sunday.
• Tryouts begin on Sunday 11/15/09 and are at the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, CT (time to be announced)
• Teams will be finalized in mid-December.
• We can attempt to keep players together for carpool purposes but generally limit that number to 3 per team at the most, players must be roughly similar in skill based upon the coaches evaluation.
• We will form as many teams as we can and are only limited by gym space and coaches
• Practices are about 2 hours long each week
• Teams are roughly chosen by ability and position, playing time is roughly equal
• Players are expected to attend all practices and tournaments

• There will be a weekday practice most weeks in addition to Sunday practices
• We will only form teams at levels that we expect to be competitive.
• We will be playing on Sat/Sun on MLK weekend (January 16-17th, 2010) at a new tournament at the CT Convention Center. Once started the tournament will be played regardless of weather so staying nearby is highly recommended.

• The outcome of the game is not the most important objective. The most important objective is that the players try to win and try their best. If they do their best, they will be successful, regardless of the outcome of the match.
• Self-determination and teamwork! The players must learn from the beginning not to be misled by the "self" in self-determination. The team is the most important self-determining entity. The learned attitude of self-determination and it's application in everyday life is one of the most valuable skills that can be taught in our program.
• The players are the center of the team, not the coach. The players are taught that they make the choice to excel, but that that choice can't be made on game day. The choice to excel is made in and out of practice every day.
