Champion Volleyball Club was formed with a clear vision of the guiding principles under which it would operate. This club is responsible for: providing a healthy, positive environment for participants; teaching and reinforcing the fundamentals of volleyball; encouraging teamwork and sportsmanship; focusing on positive reinforcement as a primary tool in the learning process; teaching that opponents and officials are to be respected and appreciated; and offering advanced skills and techniques for those athletes who wish to play at the next level. This club does not believe in winning at all costs, nor that constant yelling at athletes results in better players, better results, or players who will want to continue playing the sport. This club believes it's participants are best served by providing an environment which will foster a long term love of the game. This club is dedicated to opening minds to the idea that while winning is clearly a primary objective, competition, improvement, playing to the best of one's ability, and being a good sport and teammate, ultimately provide the majority of one's enjoyment and fulfillment.
Major areas that CVC deems significant:
Playing time is always of great concern to all coaches, players and parents. The club's philosophy is that everyone on the team deserves the opportunity to be a contributing member of the team. Teams are kept relatively small in number, thus providing more opportunities for each individual player to see substantial court time. Actions that will reduce playing time include: unexcused absences from practices and/or tournaments; not being focused or not working hard during practices and/or games; exhibiting poor sportsmanship towards teammates, opponents, officials, coaches, or spectators; and bringing a bad attitude onto the court or not being a good team player. Players or parents who have questions about playing time should make an appointment with the individual coach. Playing time should not be discussed at a tournament.
Parent Responsibilities
Parents are encouraged to support their children and to be a positive example for their children. Parent should not become to obsessed with winning and losing, as the club is designed to teach the girls the proper way to play the game. We believe that if they learn the correct way to play, then wins will take care of themselves. Parents are expected to help provide transportation for their child to all tournaments. Parents should come to all tournaments prepared to cheer and support all members of the team. Parents will also be asked to help with team events, including providing food for each tournament.
Academics Come First
This club strongly believes in the importance of academics. Playing on a club team is a privilege earned by striving for academic excellence. As such, we will clearly communicate with players the need for them to prioritize and plan their time so they excel academically as well as on the court. If at any time a player is finding it difficult to give adequate attention to academics, we ask that the player or a parent please notify the coach so we can discuss the best course of action to take to remedy the situation.
