Coaching of Volleyball Game

Capital City VBC Review   by April Chapple

Capital City Volleyball Club has been one of the most progressive junior Volleyball Clubs in Nevada.
CCVB’s primary focus has been to offer camps and clinics to Volleyball Players age 8 to 18. In its tenth season the 2010 summer volleyball clinic schedule is quite extensive. Players can choose to attend a College Coach Camp (July 30 – August 2), while setters are offered opportunities to attend the Capital City Volleyball Setter’s Clinic (July 27 & 28) and players can choose to participate in one of the Skills Clinic Series (July 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd) or the “Get Ready For High School” clinic.

CCVB describes the 2010 College Coach’s Camp as a chance for players to experience volleyball practices being run by Division I coaches. A “one-of-a-kind” opportunity where players can hear directly from the source–what a coach looks for in potential college volleyball players. The plan is for the guest coaches to make themselves available to answer recruiting questions. Also scheduled to be on hand is Capital City’s college recruiting coordinator. College volleyball coaches to appear include Oleksandr Gutor, Carrie Couturier-Yerty, Brian Lampa and former Australian National Team coach, Mark Barnard.

Clearly a college prep volleyball club, Capital City focuses a lot of attention on educating its players on the ins and outs of getting recruited for a college volleyball scholarship and has hired a full-time college recruiting coordinator to work with volleyball parents and players. Setting itself apart from many other club volleyball web sites, CCVB has college scholarship requirements, recruiting tips, guides and articles prominently displayed on their home page. With information garnered from the direct feedback received from college volleyball coaches, CCVB provides links that take visitors to “Questions To Ask A College Recruiter”, “Tips on College Recruitment”, the “NCAA Eligibility Resource Center” and the “2009-2010 NCAA Guide for the College Bound Athlete.”
At this club, with so much information and emphasis placed on college recruitment, its no wonder that in 2009 Capital City had 20 players sign college commitments.
Capital City Volleyball Club provides a virtual library of educational material in the form of volleyball training tips (mine included) and articles authored by NCAA Division I coaches, former and current CCVB staff and notable author and USA Volleyball guru John Kessel. Written to address questions and concerns for parents, players, coaches, and fans, article titles run the gamut from “Communication: The Foundation of a Positive Recruiting Experience (by Mike Bryant, Asst Coach, University of Idaho) to one of my personal favorites John Kessel’s ‘Handy Guide To Ruining Volleyball Players’”.
Volleyball Teams and Players
For 2010, Capital City has 19 teams–two 18s, two 17s, five 16s, two 15s, six 14s and one 12s. CCVC alumni include Hofstra senior outside hitter Monica Knight, Ivy League Player of the Week Cornell sophomore setter Jordan Reeder, DII Conference Carolina Player of the Week Megan Mitchell and freshman Corey Phillips a Rochester Area College Athletics Athlete of the Week in 2009.
