Congrats to Heritage and Menchville Boys for a great season. Cant wait for next year!!

Anyone know the score for the Gloucester Boys game so far?

[herhsvolleyball13]

dang that s*cks i really wanted to see the heritage girls do good and any team from the pd go far but good luck to ghs and mhs girls

[soggy cheeze puff]

gloucester doesnt play till tomorrow

[beachvbfan]

Hickory and Gloucester play Tuesday @ 5PM @ Tallwood HS.

[ayoung019]

Menchville girls lost to Western Branch 25-21, 20-25, 25-12, and 25-8

The MHS girls played an awesome second game....They just got wore out in the 3rd and fourth games. Which is due to them not playing a team of that calibur in there district.


Gloucester boys lost to Hickory 25-6, 25-19, and 25-19


Cant wait for next year PD volleyball!

[VBFan]

Gloucester guys you did your school and district proud. First game was rough, you were warming up. The pace of the game was quick, and you guys stepped it up and gave your fans a reason to cheer. Some really phenomenal plays and exciting volleyball action. Great teamwork.

Be proud Dukes!

(it was great to see our boy looking right at home in the middle back again playing libero, a little rusty, but you made some great saves, son).

[soggy cheeze puff]

the district wont ever get anywhere in regionals if only a few players in the district train during the off-season...we're going nowhere.

[VBFan]

You're right, CK...now how about pulling some of the guys in the Peninsula District up to RVC with you to play club - -

BTW...any word on the coaching assignments yet??? 18 National or 16 National???

[soggy cheeze puff]

im not taking anyone with me unless they pay a fee or help with the whole carpooling thing hahaha . plus they would have to make the same team as me (different teams have different practice schedules) and that is, im sorry to say, very unlikely. BUT if someone from this district happens to tryout and make 18 national then sure why not.

18N- Jack Spears
17N- Kevin Pond
16N- Alecia Spivey (I believe)

[VBFan]

Hey, you're a pretty funny guy...I know about RVC, my son plays there too - 15 National team last season - Lew (awesome coach!). Nick Lemay is graduating, I think he wants to play college - don't know if he would be able to make the National team - he hasn't been playing long, but he's a smart guy and seems to be a quick learner - I only know of you and Kirby (was he an 18?) and Randall (and he was an 18) - what do you think - worth recommending it to him? I don't think he's going to be seen unless he plays club. The Gloucester club players are working on our guys - but don't know the others. See you Sunday? or next weekend...

[soggy cheeze puff]

yea tell him to tryout. whats sunday?

[VBFan]

It's the HS Pre-season Juniors Mini-Camp...we did it last year - the coaches are there and work on things to get ready for tryouts next weekend. Kind of like an intensive workout. It's really good for new people because it's smaller than the tryouts and the coaches get a better look...you probably don't need it - and they know who my son is now 'cuz he played for Lew last year, but he liked it last time and since he hasn't really played libero since last July he wanted to go...if it hasn't filled, it would a good intro for some of the Menchville guys who aren't sure about club. It's at West from 9am-3pm and it's $45. Some of the Gloucester guys are going (I think). If anyone wants to go they have to give Natalie a call and register - they're taking 80 (it's for girls & guys).

[vbnut]

The dukes got blown away thier first game on Tues. night 25-7 but then changed it up rotation wise to make the next two better games 25-19, 25-21. They used a libero to make up for the middles who do not pass that well and it seemed to work. Maybe they learned something they can use in the future.

Hickory looked very solid as do most of the teams on that side of the water. TALLWOOD HIGH SCOOL is awesome! It's like going to school in a first class mall, unbelievable building?

Best of luck to the PD teams next year. :clap2:

[keltamiko]

By the way, PJVBC is working on a boys JO's team this year. We have a few interested and are coming to tryouts next week Sunday at York High School.

If anyone knows any familes that don't want to make the drive to RVC, PJVBC is a local alternative. We aren't as big a club as RVC is, but we are around for those who don't want the commute or expense. Just as an FYI...

Good luck up at RVC this year Cody....

yea thats a waste of gas money/time.

[VBFan]

Ok, now how about telling me what you really think... I said you probably didn't need it, but it's good for some of the new guys who have only played volleyball in the Peninsula District and are lacking some of the fundamentals. It's a good warm-up. Good luck with the 18s and see you around RVC.

[vbnut]

Ck doesn't mix words. What can u get in one day with no true one on one attention. Most of the PD players have the basics.

It would be better for most of the players to go to Yorktown due to the cost of RVC. The travel time is also a factor and what about the cost of gas. The coaches @ YKTown are quality coaches that will give the one on one the players need. The coaches at RVC are excellent as well but it comes down to being practical.

agreed. you dont need to go to travel 1hr 30 mins for a season warm up

[VBFan]

It was actually well worth the trip. There were many coaches and a lot of one on one time - - and it was nice to see a lot of the guys from last jo season. I agree it would be nice if boy's club volleyball could get going on the Peninsula again. HR Jrs tried to get it going last season but there weren't even enough boys to put a multi-age team together. The hs volleyball boys in the area who don't play basketball all play for RVC - so it didn't go...good luck.

[vbnut]

:eek: Not ALL of th PD boys play basketball or play at RVC. Some can't afford the huge cost that go along with the programs.( especialy RVC) Others like to throw the "RVC" title around like that instantly makes u a better player. They can become better by playing with better players at pick up games. mini camps etc...

Some of the PD players who played @ RVC really didn't play that much @ RVC...guess it was jus 4 the RVC Shirt. :tongue:

[soggy cheeze puff]

i cant wait till freakin tryouts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! anybody know who jack spears is? he is supposedly my coach...:confused:

Ok, let me clarify my statement...no, not all of the pd boys play basketball, but every boy we approached to play club said that they were playing basketball (and we approached quite a few). We did try to get a boy's club team going in our area last year.

I am interested to know if you are speaking from personal experience about RVC. Of the boy's programs in this region, price wise, RVC is one of the least expensive - you don't have to play for the National team, you CAN choose to play for the Regional team with less travel and less cost. We do play for RVC - and we checked around before we went there - the only one costing less is OVC. RVC also appealed to us because our son could play on an age appropriate team- 15s - for all other clubs he would have to play up on an older team - except VEER and they are also in Richmond. As for playing time, the pd boys that I know at RVC all got quite a bit of playing time (but, before you quote me, maybe there's one I don't know). Playing for RVC doesn't instantly make you a better player, you have to want to be a better player and be willing to put the work in, but it certainly improved our son's game, he worked very hard though. Before you say you didn't notice, he didn't have much opportunity to show that improvement this season because he is a libero/ds - and we didn't use one most of this year - he did get to play libero at regionals - but he played the second setter the rest of the year for Gloucester. We had a wonderful experience at RVC and our son can't wait for club to start again - he enjoys the fast pace of club play. As for throwing the RVC name around, all of the boys who came to tryouts were placed on a team. I was told by the coaches that no boy was turned away, so it's not an exclusive club for boys. I'm curious though, you suggest mini-camps, but in an earlier post, you said there was no use in going to the mini-camp at RVC - do you have a personal issue with RVC? You are right though, RVC has quality coaching. Our son was exposed to not only his Coach's training (which was very good), but many college coaches came in to provide specialized training. And, RVC must be doing something right because almost every one of our boy's National teams won the Regional Championship and went to Nationals. Don't misunderstand me, RVC was OUR choice, everyone should find the club that fits them the best. Pickup games are great - every touch helps, but there's something to be said for working with the same team, working offensive plays, teamwork, etc. I DO think it's great that there may be another club for boys to play for, let's keep volleyball growing in our region and on the east coast. And, if it is affordable giving more boys an opportunity to play - that's FANTASTIC, but it wasn't there for us last year, so let's not bash the clubs that were. We don't play for the shirt, but we're proud to wear it.

[vbnut]

RVC is made up of quality coaches,staff and overall a great place. Just not for everyone. Not bashing the club at all, it's awesome. Hopefully they teach more than volleyball.:focus:

[davevb3]

I've been reading these posts to try and find the name of the Gloucester boys' volleyball coach, and also to see if there was a coach of the year elected along with the all district teams. if anyone knows, could you please reply.

also, i've read the stuff about juniors, and if the peninsula district wants to improve, it is almost impossible without playing juniors. the consitant teams over here in the beach/southeastern distrcts have the majority of their players playing for juniors programs out here.

an alternative to RVC is Coastal. It is made up of quality coaches and has the best girls program in the state (the 18s National girls team defeated the number one ranked team in the nation at a tournament last season). The boys program is being revamped this year and there has already been a lot of interest. website is www.coastalva.com (http://www.coastalva.com)

There are also a few other boys programs in this area. I think there is one called seven cities, run by the cox coach. i am not sure if virginia beach volleyball academy and tva are having boys programs this season.

but as i said, for any team to expect to compete, it is necessary to have kids play juniors. i'm not even that concerned with which club people play for (as long as the coaches are good), i would just like to see more kids getting involved so the level of volleyball in the entire state can continue to rise.

oof...your info is all outta wack dude. coastal has a good program, but their 18's didnt beat the number 1 team in the country last year...trust me on that one. they beat the #1 seed at the tournement of teams who couldnt make it/qualify to "OPEN" nationals. Plus they arent the best girls team in the state...that honor would have to be given to the former RVC 17's (now 18's) girls team who finished 3rd at that same tourney (the best any girls team from VA has ever done). dont get me wrong, though...coastal had a great team.

[nuttyovervball]

The puff is truly getting soggy :cool: ...your info is WAY outta wack...uh dude. Coastal did knock off the then undefeated Long Beach Mizuno and at that time the current #1 nationally ranked team in all of the U...S...of A (by prepvolleyball). Obviously they were the ranked #1 in the "OPEN 18s" division at the Lone Star Classic. RVC 17s were there and tied for 17th in "17s Open." The next to last tournament of the year, SAC in Richmond, RVC finished 2nd behind CCVC 18s. These two teams had some great matches...but to say RVC was better....uh...maybe...maybe not...definitely debatable. CCVC 18s was DEF the best 18s team in VA. It'll be more great battles this year between these two outstanding teams.

[vballfan]

I think we need a Club volleyball thread...lol There is so much interest in this sport...boys and girls. Have to be honest that Coastal Virginia Volleyball Club in Chesapeake is a top notch program. I remember when Coastal 18s team beat Long Beach while in Texas...so it did happen. Actually they had a little feature on the news after the fact...good interview with Lindsey Callahan (now a JMU freshman).

The Richmond 17s team was very good last year, but they competed in the 17 Division not 18s when playing at national qualifiers.

crap...i totally got that mixed up with something else...i admit when im wrong though..IM WRONG...woops.

[nuttyovervball]

With all that transpired during a club season it's easy to get'em confused. I think we all agree they were both outstanding teams and are excellent club organizations.

[VBFan]

Dave, the head coach at Gloucester is Barry Childress, the assistant coach is Mike Brewer. There were no Coach of the Year or Player of the Year selections for the Peninsula District, possibly because our district is still new to volleyball - just finishing our fourth season. Glad to hear Coastal is revamping the boy's program. We looked into Coastal last year, but 16s was their youngest team and our child would have had to play up. We preferred to see him play age-appropriately. I believe the Ocean Volleyball Club uses TVA as it's base. They are a boys only club to my knowledge. TVA also has a boy's 14s team planned for this season. Didn't know about Seven Cities - didn't see any of their boy's teams at any of the tournaments last year either - they must have had only an older aged team - maybe 18s, we played against most of the 17s and 16s teams in the area. I agree that in order to be truly competitive outside of our district more pd players need to play club. Interest in volleyball is growing - nice to see that happening.

[yoda]

To clean up some comments about girls juniors in VA for everyone…here is some history from Yoda. First the top two clubs at this time are RVC and Coastal, however there are many clubs in the Old Dominion to choose from if you are interested in playing juniors volleyball. Why do I consider these the top two? Very easy…these are the only two in the ODR (not necessarily the state) that are Nationally recognized.
Last season RVC 17 National finished 3rd in the Nation at USAV Junior Nationals, which was amazing…but it is not the best finish of a VA team ever, many years ago a 16’s team from Tidewater Juniors also finished 3rd at the National event.
CVVC (Coastal Virginia) had an outstanding season last year and would be considered by most as the strongest 18’s team in the state. As a previous poster cleared up, they did beat the #1 ranked team in the country at the Lone Star classic, LB Mizuno who eventually finished 2nd in the Nation in the OPEN division to SPVC.
As far as these two team playing against each other you could really flip a coin…both teams won their fair share of matches against the other. CVVC did edge out RVC by the end of the season…SAC was the deciding match when CVVC defeated RVC 17N in the finals.
This season could be just as interesting as CVVC return 4 girls from last years 18N team and girls from RVC 17 most likely will become their 18N team. I think at this time I would give the edge to RVC simply because this group of girls played together all last season, CVVC will have new girls and will take awhile to get them to mesh as a team…could be very exciting! You will see several DI players on both rosters.

[kochanie803]

after playing against cvvc 18s national team, playing against rvc 17s national team, watching them both play other teams, and watching them both play each other, id say rvs 17s were the better team. i did see cvvc beat rvc at the SAC last year but cvvc always made more mistakes than rvc, silly communication errors while letting the other team capitalize, and if they were down, they stayed down...their energy died. 17s had more hustle all around and that kristin girl i think her name was? i wanna say she was number 3? but shes only about 5'4 or 5'5ish with an amazing verticle, powerhouse jumpserve, and one of the best passers on the team. def the best volleyball player hands down that i have ever seen in my life and shes a sweet girl ha. but back to the point. rvc over cvvc. anyday. no bias...ness.;)

[davevb3]

well, my goal wasnt to get a big club ball discussion going, as i'm sure there's enough of that on prepvolleyball. good discussions though. my main point was just to get the word out for the penin. district about alternatives to rvc, not that rvc is bad, it's a good program, but just to let people know that there are other options if they were interested but not into rvc. and i'd like to see more peninsula players and more eastern district (portsmouth/norfolk) kids playing juniors. and thinking about it, it's not just the athletes who need to get involved, a big problem in this area is the lack of quality coaches, and the lack of a significant youth movement for boys. most kids are into high school sports, so it's important to have better high school coaches, not necessarily gurus, but people that know the basics of the game and can teach fundamentals and get the kids into it enough that they will play juniors. and for boys, most guys don't even consider playing till freshman year in highschool, if even that early. by that point, many are committed to other sports and play volleyball mainly for fun, and that's a shame because there are a lot of great athletes with lots of volleyball potential that goes untapped. we have the quality athletes that california and the midwest has, we just don't have the coaching and the interest in kids at younger ages. so in order to get volleyball really going here, we need to get better coaching and promotion at the high school, middle school and youth levels

[vbnut]

Well said davevb3. :clap2:
What we need as well is the players to start as u say playing much younger. We need JV programs and on the other side of the deal is the club and JO programs. We DO have excellent atheletes here in the tidewater area.
There is also a certain mentality that VB is a soft sport that doesn't compete with real sports such as BBall or FTBALL. To these guys I say, come out a play some real VB and u will walk away with a different perspective.:eek:

I'm sure that all clubs are good with quality personel. The problem the guys over on the middle peninsula have is thier location, they are sqaure between RVc and VAbeach. (about 1.5 hour each way) But when u think about the tunnel and the traffic RVC is more attractive. The PD is so far behind the beach teams we will have to work that much harder to compete at that level.
:playball:

[TrackCap]

There's also a club team in the works in Yorktown, although apparently they are having trouble getting enough players (need 9 to enter tournaments). It's a smaller club that only plays in-state tourneys. So it's a low-cost option.

I wish I could join, but I'm already involved with varsity basketball. Nick is playing. But like I said, they still need a lot more players.

[VBFan]

Getting a boy's program going on the Peninsula again may be a difficult proposition. The boys who used to play for WVC have either graduated or now play for other clubs. A lot of boys play basketball and other sports when volleyball season ends. Not a complaint, but it does draw away from club volleyball programs (it draws the girls from club volleyball also). It's a shame Nick didn't come to RVC, he would certainly have made the 18 National team. Actually, six rostered players and an IMPACT Certified Coach is all that USAV requires to enter tournaments, but most clubs keep rosters of nine to twelve players - to account for injuries, illness, etc and to keep the costs reasonable. We keep nine to ten on our girl's club teams and we stay predominently in-state, but unless your coaches are volunteers and you play in a limited number of one-day ODR tournaments only, it still is not cheap compared to some other club sports. In-state regional one-day ODR tournaments are $150 per team per tournament. The larger multi-day tournaments are fun because they are usually attended by boy's teams from up and down the east coast - it's nice to see players from Canada, NY, Florida, Puerto Rico, etc. and the guys get to know players from the other clubs. The Boy's East Coast Championships in May are held in Richmond at the Richmond Convention Center. It's a nice boy's tournament, but it's about $500 per team to play. Can't think of any other large tournaments for boys that are held in Virginia. Does anyone know if there were enough boys to get a team going in any of the age groups for the Yorktown club?

[TrackCap]

Yeah, I didn't mean "low-cost" as a synonym for "cheap." It's still rather expensive. But if you can't afford Coastal, or even RVC, it's another option.

Nick indicated that they managed to get 5 players. I don't know if he meant for his age group, or total. So yes, as you say, it's gonna take some time for the Peninsula.

[VBFan]

Didn't intend to confuse your words - I use 'low-cost' and 'cheap' interchangeabley...I really have no idea what the fees are for Yorktown, so I just assumed - my mistake. Sorry to hear that they didn't have enough interest - that's about the same numbers we got last year - - I guess until Hampton schools and the BRD get boy's volleyball, those numbers may not go up.

[TrackCap]

Yeah, just not much interest in this area. Honestly, I'm beginning to worry about the Peninsula District boys teams. Obviously, the Hampton schools don't have volleyball. Then this year, Warwick failed to field a team, and Woodside put one together a few days before their first game. So those two will be questionable next year. Denbigh is losing all but 1 of their players to graduation. So they too may have difficulty next year.

Even Gloucester's future is looking down. Plenty of kids remain, and several of them have potential to be good players. But a lot of them seriously lacked commitment, which of course is hurtful to the team.

I'm hoping for the best, as I would like to see the district grow into a respectable group of teams. But the area needs to have a way to expose the sport to kids at an early age. Gym class volleyball (just bumping over the net and back, spiking prohibited, etc) sort of ruins the game's prestige, so high school students don't understand how intense it really is.

got that right...this may be the last season for volleyball in our district...menchville might not even have a team next year...alot of the kids told me they wont play cuz they know they would stink not having me and ronnie around...if this keeps up the entire program WILL be thrown out. bummer

[keltamiko]

Peninsula Juniors did have tryouts a week ago and we did have a few boys come out, but definitely not enough for a boys team.

Nick did drive down from Gloucester (thanks Nick!) to come check us out.

We are a new program (2 years old) but are growing. We really wanted a boys team this year (I coached the boys at Menchville two years ago <<wave cheesepuff>>). We need only four more boys to get our team going. If anyone is interested, please let me know.

RVC and Coastal have excellent programs. What we are offering is a local alternative for those boys (and girls) who live in the Gloucester, Newport News, Yorktown, Hampton area. We are a less-expensive alternative, but in no way "cheap". We have quality coaches who have coached here locally on the Peninsula for years and are well known in the area. We attend the same tournaments in state to cut down on extra travel costs.

We know there are a lot of boys out there who want to play volleyball. We are here for them if they want us. Our practices and tournaments are all on the weekends to accommodate those who are playing other HS sports.

Please email us at peninsulajuniorsvball@gmail.com if you are still interested. We are giving ourselves a few more weeks to see if any other boys show interest.

Congrats to these fine volleyball players! Are the all tidewater teams picked by the Virginian Pilot?...I know the Daily Press picks an all star team...so I can understand why the Pilot would not have considered the peninsula kids. Thanks for posting this.

the coaches vote on all region, the paper selects all tidewater. i'm not positive that they don't consider peninsula kids, but i know that peninsuala volleyball scores were not ever listed in the paper and i dont recall any peninsula kids on any other all tidewater teams for other sports.

I don't really think its too far that they don't consider peninsula district players ebcause there are a few that deserve the recognition.

I do not think that the Daily Press considers players on the southside, only those on the peninsula...but I could be wrong. Hopefully they will have a first and second team for boys volleyball that will recognize these players.
