CCCVBC SUMMER CAMP


     The coaches of Choo Choo City Volleyball Club would like to invite you to come to our summer camp.  We love the game of volleyball and want to share this with you.  The four day camp will cover all aspects of the game including, passing, setting, defense, hitting, blocking, and serving.
    With the use of multiple courts and several coaches, we will be able to split the girls based by age and ability into small groups for increased instruction and focus on individual skills.  The drills will be game like and will be put into action during scrimmages.  The camp is open to all middle school and high school students: however there is a cap on the amount of girls we will accommodate, so please respond early.
    We know summer is a busy time of year, if you have conflicts and can't attend the entire camp please email Coach Sarah to discuss. Coach Sarah will respond to your email to confirm your spot at camp and provide any other additional information.  We look forward to working with you this summer and watching you play this fall.

Choo Choo City had a big weekend  playing volleyball. 
The Choo-Choo City 18-1(Atlanta), 16-1, 16-2’s, and  15-1’s(Chattanooga) won their tournaments this weekend.  The 15-1’s, 15-2’s, and 18-1’s have already won 4 tournaments this year while the 16-1’s have won 3.  This has been the most successful year for any volleyball club in Chattanooga with 2 of those teams finishing top 25 and another finished top 9 in the National Qualifiers.  All of our teams are doing a great job of teaching the basics of volleyball and the chemistry of being a team not an individual to our players which allows us to have a lot of our success.  5 of our teams are ranked in the top 5 in the Southern Region(Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee) and have a great opportunity to make it to the Nationals in Dallas Texas in late June.  To be a 2nd year club and have this success can only say what a great core of coaches and players we have.

Choo City has shown significant growth...
Looking back at our first year at Choo-Choo City we have had much success with all of our age groups.  Starting our second year, Choo-Choo City has shown significant growth with a 30% increase in the number of players trying out for our club.  This season we are growing from 5 teams to 7 teams which will allow us to provide more opportunity for players in the Chattanooga, North Georgia, and Cleveland middle and high school programs. This will continue to improve the quality of volleyball and the players in our area.  We hope everyone will follow the success of these young ladies as our season runs from November to May this year.
