Why Choose CJV Traveling Teams?

Overview
The CJV Traveling Teams will provide an opportunity for girls ages 12 - 18 from all around the 704 & 803 area codes to try out for competitive traveling volleyball teams.

Traveling Teams are for the higher level volleyball player and will practice 2-3 times each week and compete in 7-10 tournaments on weekends outside the Charlotte area and possibly outside of North Carolina.

Dates
Season:  November – May  (Some teams may play until June)

Registration Deadline:  October 27, 2009
*Girls not registering for the Travel Team by the posted deadlines may be put on a waiting list or not be able to participate in the first day of tryouts.  It is very important to register by the deadline to allow the CJV Club to review the numbers and ages of girls to prepare for tryouts.

                               (October 24, 2009 for 14 and under team)

Teams
One 14 Year Old Team
One-Two 15 Year Old Teams
One-Two 16 Year Old Teams
One 17 Year Old Team
One 18 Year Old Team

Ages based on USAV Playing Age (see tryouts below for age definitions).  Players should try out for their age group.  Coaches may move players and combine age groups as needed.  There will be 10 players per team.

There may be more or less teams than listed above based on the number and level of girls at tryouts.  The CJV program philosophy is to only form a Travel Team at a specific age group if we feel that team will be one of the most dominant in the region.  Otherwise, we feel the team and girls will benefit more by participating in the CJV Non-Travel Program.

Coaches
 Each of the Traveling Teams will have 1 Head Coach and 1 Assistant Coach.

Coaching assignments may change based on the number and level of girls at tryouts and the total number of teams formed.

Tentative coaching assignments:
18 Traveling - Zoe Bell
17 Traveling - Rick Kiser and Ashli Raindl
16 Traveling - Chuck Rey and Sara Christie
15 Traveling - Carrie Christian and Tom Christian
14 Traveling - Cori Bray

***Based on our registrations we plan to have an additional 16s team or a combination 15/16s team coached by Brian Rosen and Emily Carrara.

Tournaments

Tournament Schedules Are Posted on Team Pages
             (see Menu item Teams/Results)


 All teams will play in USAV tournaments in the Carolina Region, and a minimum of 10 tournaments total throughout the season.

 Tournaments will be a decided on by the coach.  The schedules will be available on this website before tryouts and the estimated team fee will be available at tryouts, if not before.
  
Each team will have the option to try and qualify for the USAV National Championships.  The cost to enter the USAV National Championships and the coaches expenses are already budgeted for in the CJV Traveling Fee.  If teams and coaches choose not to attend Nationals, or if the team fails to qualify for Nationals, a refund will be issued at the end of the season to each girl.

(This season most teams are not attempting to Qualify for Nationals because they are in Reno, NV.  Most teams will attend the AAU/JVA Nationals in Orlando, FL instead.)
 

Possible Tournaments:

NC Region Tournaments Available January - April
 
Other Tournaments Available January - June
