HAPPY SUMMER DAYS TO ALL ,
Just wanted to touch base and let everyone know how the teams are performing in the post season.
TEAMS
15Mizuno - travelled to Orlando and finished 9th of 40 teams. The team was in contention for the championship until the last night. The next day the team won three straight matches to take home the Consolation Division Championship medals.
16Mizuno - Also spent a week in Orlando and was in the championship bracket until the last day and finished 21st out of 120 teams. The highlight of the week was day three when they swept their pool which included two previously undefeated teams and was ranked as high as #7.
Excellent job girls and coaches
Starting June 29th, the 15Tornado (now known as 16Tornado) will compete in Anaheim against some of the top teams in Southern California at the Summer Soiree.
Meanwhile in Indianapolis, the 17Mizuno will compete in the USA Volleyball Junior Nationals (17National Division).
Good Luck to both these teams and staff!!
CLINICS
High School and Middle School volleyball seasons are coming up and if you want to work on your game please check out our selection of Carson City, Reno, and Sand clinics.
With all SSVC clinics we try and keep the player to instructor ratio at no more than 8:1 to insure all players get quality instruction. We also specialize in position specific coaching and all of our coaches have played or coached at the college level. if you do not see a clinic that works for you or you have a group that wants to build their own clinic please contact Jordan, Mike Williams, or Sonny and they will put something together for you.
Many players and parents have asked why most of the Silver State coaches do not coach High School or Middle School and the answer is simply that we try to remain completely neutral when selecting players for our club teams. Most of our teams are composed of players from all over Northern Nevada and we feel this allows for all players to improve at a faster rate. Also it means that our staff can attend everyone's games and cheer for our players!
SPECIAL WELCOME

BEST WISHES TO ALL,
SILVER STATE STAFF

With increased participation numbers, national team success and TV-visibility of collegiate teams, what do we need to do in order to continue the upward growth? I see way too many coaches, at all pre-college levels, plugging players into what they view as their 6 player roles. I love Stone’s 4 player, badminton sized court play…
