Hola!
      Me llamo es Ashley.  Mucho gusto!  Como estas?

Butte College Women's Volleyball and Pleasant Valley High School
Girl's Volleyball are proud to announce that they will be co-hosting
another Gold Medal Squared Coaching Clinic this summer!  The dates
for this year's session are June 14-16.  Last year's clinic was very
successful with 30 participants from around the region, state, and
country in attendance.  This year we are moving the venue from PVHS
to Butte College in order to accommodate more participants.  Housing
can be arranged through Chico State University for a nominal fee.
For questions about housing, refer to the flyer or contact Chuck
Johnson (530-345-1770 or cjohnson@... ).

The Gold Medal Squared Coaching Clinics are directed by Carl McGown
(Head Coach: BYU, NCAA Champions 1999 and 2001), Doug Beal (Current
Head Coach: USA Men's National Team, Gold Medal 1984 Olympics) and
Marv Dunphy (Head Coach: USA Men's National Team, Gold Medal 1988
Olympics.  Current Head Coach: Pepperdine University, NCAA
Champions '78, '85, and '92).  These coaches rank among the finest
volleyball coaches in the world.  They are widely recognized for the
intellectual approach to the game and the success of their training
methodologies.  It is exciting to have coaches of this caliber coming
here to run a clinic.

Moreover, their clinics are extraordinary.  They are designed to
cover the most important concepts central to all levels of coaching,
they are structured so the participants learn by doing (there is very
little time spent watching or listening to an expert talk and talk
and talk), and the clinicians are among the best coaches in the
world.  Time will be equally divided between the classroom and the
court.

After attending two GM2 clinics, I can personally say that my
coaching has dramatically changed.  And, I think, my players enjoy
practice and the GM2 systems that I have implemented.

Seldom do coaches of this caliber come to our area.  Take advantage
of this opportunity.  I believe that you will be challenged and
rewarded for attending this outstanding clinic.

Greetings -

This email for this special groups that Volleyball.ORG coordinates,
is just to let you know of some special educational opportunities at USA
Volleyball. I have been with USA Volleyball for over a decade, currently
serving as USA Volleyball's Director of Education, Disabled, Grassroots and
Beach Volleyball. I believe you will find the information we are sharing of
value.

TO GET USA VOLLEYBALL'S EDUCATION NEWS

This is how we first plan to reach out to those working with kids as
coaches, interested parents and educators. There is some stuff on backlog of
importance and value, then things will likely both slow down and diminish in
size. If you have some great information or material you think others should
read, as they are working with kids and athletes, please send it to me and
we will pass it along.

The kind of educational information we will be sharing is found below, one
of many articles to be shared with educational list members.

      It’s Not Where You Are, It’s Who You Are
       John Kessel, USA Volleyball Director of Education, Grassroots,
       Disabled & Beach Volleyball

This started as an email I sent to the top 5 USA Teams battling in the
spring to make the final two 2000 Olympic Beach Volleyball Team slots. As
the Olympic Team Leader in a sport that just now is allowing coaching, I
enjoyed the challenge of preparing a team from individuals and changing
partnerships and to give them all they needed to succeed on the sand in
Sydney.  I have since added to it to help volleyball kids who write me about
problem coaches, and for those seeking to excel under any coach. Originally
I called it “How to Excel Under Any Coach,” but on a trip to Alaska,
attending the Eskimo Olympics (www.weio.org) and working with Eskimo kids
who come from such small schools they always play coed to fill a team, I
remembered Marv Dunphy’s great line that now titles the article.  The
sub-title of this is “It’s not how tall you are, it’s how tall you play…” as
skill and timing will beat height anytime. It summarizes what I hope your
kids will be learning from our fun on the field, in practices and
games...Some of it is a bit volleyball specific, but the majority of the
thoughts are about being a true athlete, no matter what the sport.

Reflections on what you need to do, to be the best you can be. I want to
share some of my thoughts with you, as I believe they will help you succeed
on the court in preparation towards your personal best. The fire I carry
within is to help you shorten the time gap in the development of your
personal philosophy. The ideas below come from decades of helping players be
excellent, The motto of the Olympics, CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS. - guides our
efforts as staff and players. Swifter, Higher, Stronger. So to win, we must
push ourselves, giving all we can for as long as we can, and extending
ourselves. Remember this about your pursuit of personal excellence - If it
is meant to be, it is up to me...

I should also tell you that while there have been many people, experiences
and books that have guided me, the most impactual one simply is John Wooden.
There is a new book out called The Ultimate Guide to Life, Leadership,
Friendship and Love, by Neville Johnson. ISBN 0-9673920-0-4. Get it, for it
is all about the ideas of John Wooden and his pyramid of success, that can
help every person, athlete or not, become the best they can be. I also have
learned great things from Marv Dunphy and Doug Beal, both USA Olympic Gold
Medal coaches. As Marv once said, "It is not where you are, it is who YOU
are; it is not how big you are it is how good or how great YOU are."

THERE IS ONLY ONE CHAMPION - This is our holy grail, and every team in our
championship division is seeking that same trophy. Now, we must define what
winning is. In this team sport of volleyball, one person cannot win the game
by his or herself. It is a team sport, so the winning is out of just one
player's control. So, winning is always, ALWAYS going to be defined as doing
all you can to be the best you can be. John Wooden's classic Pyramid of
Success has at its peak, the statement. "Success is peace of mind which is a
direct result of self satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become
the best that you are capable of becoming." If you do this...the winning on
the court will be more likely. Should you play your best, and lose in the
point column, what more can you ask of yourself? Nothing...for you won. ..to
quote George Moriarity, "Giving all, it seems to me, is not so far from
victory."

TEACH OTHERS TO TEACH YOURSELF - If you coach, you will be a better player.
This is true at any age level, so seek out and create time to coach others
less skilled and/or experienced than you are. In Japan, the after school
elementary school practices I worked with were 45 minutes of games and
practice for the 7-10 year olds, who were coached by the 10-12 year olds
under the watchful eye of the adult head coach, then 45 more minutes where
the head coach trained these 10-12 year olds once they were done coaching.

COMPETE WITH YOURSELF - Demand more from yourself than from your teammate.
This is the sign of a serious and true competitor. This is how you will
become the best you can be, and thus help USA win a gold. To excel, focus on
yourself first. No matter how small or unimportant it may seem, look for
ways to be better when you leave training than when you walked in, whether
it be the weight room, training room, physical testing, or the court. By
competing as hard as you personally can, you will also help those around you
be better. Gold Medalist Dan Jansen said " I do not try to be better than
anyone else, I try to be better than myself."

TALENT IS A JOB, NOT A GIFT - If you have talent, you can be good without
working hard, but to be great, you must work hard. Volleyball is a hard
sport to learn, so do not expect it to be easy, for it takes years to be
great. People see talent in two ways, One group sees that talent is to be
developed through hard work, while others see it being something you either
have or do not. Those athletes who know that skill takes time, will practice
longer/have patience thru tough times. Research shows that higher
performance happens with those athletes who expect to have to work long and
hard to develop their talent. Superstars, like Karch, Jordan, Gretzky Woods,
share an intensity and drive to constantly improve their talents. Karch's
coaches and teammates describe him as the hardest worker in the gym/on the
sand. You have to BE, before you can DO, and DO before you can HAVE.

LEARN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE - STAY IN CONTROL - These same superstars share
the ability to stay in control, despite the great pressures they
encountered, using their emotions effectively. They stay focused, and
efficient, the mental discipline, to act decisively when it counts. Karch
would stay on the court in the sand during time outs, staring at the
opponent's empty court, while one teammate called Jordan, the Predator.
Controlling frustration, anger, fear, and even confidence is an athlete's
responsibility, not that of the coach. Develop responses that

MAKE SURE TO GET REST - One of the key items I learned from the Prep for
Sydney meetings for head coaches was realization that there is no such word
as "Overtraining. " To be great you must train very hard sometimes. What you
also must make sure you get is enough rest and recovery, for you are
training hard. Everything you are doing en route to a gold medal is
important, significant, and meaningful. As the distractions mount towards
the end of a long season, it is vital to get enough good rest.At the same
time, remember the words of Jerry West - "You can't get much done in life if
you only work on the days you feel good, for work beats talent, unless
talent works."

BE A TRUE TEAMMATE - One who is responsible for yourself, to your team's
obligations and to your personal and team goals. You, no one else, are
accountable for ALL your actions. Be honest and trustworthy to yourself,
your teammates and the entire team staff. Ask when you have questions. You
need to make sure that you are all pulling on the SAME end of the
rope....together and strong.

TEACH YOUR COACH HOW TO HELP YOU LEARN BETTER - In the art of coaching,
coaches have many colors and different paintbrushes on their pallet that
they can use to help you learn to be your best. It is just that each of you
are unique, and for us to excel, a coach should not treat, nor teach each of
you the same. Skilled coaches have learned to be consistent with each of
you, but not the same. They are there for you in every practice. It is not
their job to hammering you with constant feedback, but letting you learn.
They will summarize feedback at times, but anytime you want to ask a
technique or tactic question, you can talk to your coach who will always
listen. Day or night, on the court, by phone, or even email! It is what you
learn, not what the coach knows, that matters. It is our role to help you
become a player who is all you can be-- without the coach -- for you are the
athlete on the court of competition, and we cannot think for you as you
play. You will always be your best coach, for you are with yourself 24 hours
a day...

COMMUNICATE - Talk and listen with your teammate and any staff helping you
become your best. Share information you think will help us be our best.
Silence equals acceptance, so speak out if you do not accept it. When off
the court, read books and watch movies that can give you a new idea or
inspiration to be great. If you have a problem, all energies will go towards
the solution.

KNOW YOUR ROLE - You need to understand and perform your role, just as much
as you need to perform technical skills. We have a GREAT staff assembled to
help you be your best...so use us. Who is on the court will be determined by
on the court competition when the points are tallied. Since a teammate does
not err on purpose, you need to put those errors immediately in the past,
and focus on what you can control, the next point.

SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION - You get better one play at a time.
Certainly touching the ball yourself helps you learn the most, but each
contact, by your teammates as well, can be a joy and a learning experience.
We all can see Scott Fortune kill the overpass for the Seoul Gold Medal
match point...and should be able to see Eric Sato's jump serve that set it
up. We have such a great sport to celebrate in, rally by rally. Enjoy this
time as an elite athlete. It is exciting to be playing volleyball,
especially at this level. Have fun and smile, it takes fewer muscles, and it
makes you stronger.

PLAY SINGLES IN THE GARAGE - It is important to learn to play this game over
a net. In the winter, you can still string up a rope, and play one on one
with that one friend, or sibling, who shares your love of playing this game.
Play one on two if someone else shows up, or even doubles, using a beach
ball or a real ball. If you can, put up a net or just a rope for even a
small distance in the backyard, and play these small sided games on smaller
than normal courts. Learn to read and anticipate what an opponent is
preparing to do before they send it over the net.

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL - A setter cannot control the passer, or the
hitter, a passer cannot control the server. You cannot even control what
your teammates say, think, or do. You can only control yourself, so focus on
what YOU can do.

FOCUS POINT BY POINT - In a related way, every match has three parts, a
past, present and future. You cannot control the past, even that last rally.
Nor can you control the future (if you can, get into the stock market, make
millions then give it back to volleyball please). So by focusing on the
point at hand, playing one point at a time, you eliminate two-thirds of the
worries many players have cluttering their heads as they play. What do you
do NOW.

IF YOU WANT TO BE BETTER YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE - These changes may cause
you to slide backwards for a bit of time. Pay close attention to the small
successes you achieve by making these changes. Turn your wounds into wisdom,
and hey, remember...50% of the teams playing today in 220 nations around the
world - lose. The key is to keep pushing forward.

BE A POWERFUL PRESENCE - Be yourself, and be proud. If you gripe at
calls,turn your back on teammate errors, hang your head or kick a ball, get
frustrated outwardly, it gives energy to your opponents and weakens you and
the team. Forget your mistakes and focus on what you can control...the
upcoming play. Focus on what to do, not your errors, and always and only let
them see that you are powerful and confident.

BETTER WHAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU- I remember Marv Dunphy summing up why he
thought we won the gold medal in the Seoul Olympics. He felt at that time,
just hours after the success, that it was due to playing better team defense
and bettering the ball. It is your duty and focus as a teammate to make the
ball you got better, no matter how difficult the incoming ball is. Every
ball can and must be played! In our three contacts, we can improve the bad
pass, if we are setting, kill the ball off of a wayward set. Bettering the
ball happens not just on the court, but off. If you have ideas that might
work in other areas of your development, share them, in order to make that
also better for the next person.

RELENTLESS PURSUIT - For those of you who know my far side, you will
understand then my two rules in this key area of pushing yourself on the
court.

Rule #1, Go for EVERY ball.
Rule #2, If the ball is too far away to reach, see rule #1.
And a corollary to this high effort is: Winners never fear risking to lose.

WATCH THOSE BETTER THAN YOU - Watch videotapes of the Olympics, and NCAA
Championships. Go watch levels of play higher than you compete in -the 18
and unders if a Junior Olympian, or collegiate matches, and the National
Team any time you can catch them on TV or in person. Watch one player who
you want to be like as they do the whole rally, by not focusing on the ball,
but their actions before, during and after the rally, before during and
after each contact. What are they looking at and learning to read? Why did
they move to that spot before ball was hit and not some other place? There
is much more learned by what is done before the ball is touched, that you
need to develop too.

SHARE YOUR SECRETS - The best thing about our Prep for Sydney meetings in
Chicago and Sydney, was the chance to share our ideas with other Olympic
bound coaches and support staff. I will be passing these along to others,
starting with the Paralympic and Olympic staffs, as part of the team around
the team we have here. If you have an idea that you think might help you or
the team programming be better, share it, for unlike items, when you share
ideas, you still have yours, while adding new ones to our tools to be our
best. Pass them along to me at john.kessel@.... I will be sharing more
with you later, but for now, it is back to learning, er, I mean work.

Hello everyone,

The city of Mesa has been trying for some time now to start up a men's
competivite indoor volleyball league, but they haven't yet had enough teams to
sign up!

By the way, I don't work for the city at all -- I just want to play in a
competivite men's league.  Mesa used to run a great men's league years ago, but
it died out.  I don't know of another place that offers this, so would really
like to see it start up again.

The league will take place at the Broadway Rec Center (59 E. Broadway Rd. in
Mesa -- near both the 60 and the 101) on Monday nights starting around the end
of January.  It would consist of seven games followed by a tournament for the
top teams.  A full league is eight teams, but I've been told they'd run it for
just four teams.

Get a team together and come play!  The competition ought to be good.  If you
don't have a team but would like to be on one, email me at
ryanpetrie@... and let me know what positions you play, and I'll try to
put teams together.

Registration will begin early next month.  The cost is $140 per team.  Contact
Mark at Mesa Parks and Rec at (480)644-2447 and he'll mail registration
information out to you.  He can also answer any questions for you.

Hope to see you on the court,

Ryan Petrie
ryanpetrie@...

PS - If anyone knows of any places to find competitive INDOOR play (pick-up
games or otherwise), I'd love to hear about them.

The Eastside Volleyball Club, based in Central
Illinois, is extremely proud to present their 2002
Tournament / League Schedule.  We are also please to
offer a facility, that is second to none, that we use
for all of our events.  The facility resides on 120
acres on a bluff in Central Illinois, and contains 8
softball/baseball diamonds, 4 soccer fields, a 4000
seat stadium, and a sports recreation building that
houses our 3 olympic sized volleyball courts.  Within
the faulty is a viewing mezzanine, a snack bar, and an
olympic training center that is utilized by the
professional football team, Peoria Pirates. Attached
to the recreation  building is Splash Down Aquatic
Center that is run by the Fon Du Lac Park District
from
Memorial Day to Labor Day. We are also  proud to call
Eastside Centre the home of our very own Pepsi Cola
Illinois State Girls All Star Volleyball Classic that
will be held on December 1-2, 2001 and will feature
some of the finest senior volleyball players
throughout the Midwest.

The upcoming tournament series and Central Illinois
Volleyball Association league will predominantly be
held at Eastside Centre; East Peoria, IL. The Adidas
Central Illinois Volleyball Association League being
our newest addition will be several dates consisting
of a guarantee of 21 matches for the 16U & 18U group
from January to March for a full price of $650 per
team, and the 12U & 14U league will run from April to
May consisting of 12 matches for a cost of $375 per
team. Our larger tournament events in April will by
all probability utilize the Shirk Center at Illinois
Wesleyan University in Bloomington.  We strive to run
quality events and stick strictly to 4 Team, 3x3
Crossover, 3x4 Crossover Pools, so there is a limited
downtime between play. Our events are run with a first
day of pool play, and the second day being tournament
format with a guarantee of 6 match's total. Our events
guarantee teams 6 match's, on our 2-day events, and 3
matches on CIVA League dates (except seeding dates).
We currently strive to provide official USAV officials
as the head (up) official for all match's, but
sometimes have to utilize qualified coach's as
officials, but none-the-less, head officials are
provided within the tournament and league fee(s).
Lastly, the Central Illinois Volleyball Association
league can either be entered as a whole, or by
specific date.  We will denote below the cost for each

Dear Coaches,

Please be advised that we will be holding the 3rd
Annual Pepsi Cola Illinois Girls High School All Star
Classic on December 1-2, 2001.  The 2-day event
will be held in its entirety at Eastside Centre; #1
Eastside Drive; East Peoria, IL. 61611. The format for
the event will be as it was last year with a 2
hour practice session for each team on Saturday,
December 1, and the Classic Event on Sunday, December
2.

We are proud to announce that the event is being
sponsored by Central Illinois Volleyball Association,
Pepsi Cola, Adidas, Mikasa, and USPV as it was
last year.  Like last year the event will feature over
200 of the best senior players from throughout the
Midwest. We are currently in the  process of
completing the nominations which has been extended to
October 31, 2001.  You can find an updated list of
candidates for the event  on our website at
www.eastsidevb.com for your perusal.  Nominations are
coming in virtually everyday so check back often for
the updates.   Since this event is a
sanctioned Illinois High School Association event all
outgoing senior players in Illinois are eligible as
well as seniors from  other states, even if they
have committed to play collegiately at an institution.
  The purpose of the Classic is to bring positive
closure to the  spectacular careers of these young
ladies whether they are playing at the collegiate
level of not and from feedback we received, last years
  event was an invaluable tool for coaches and
recruiters. For your help and assistance, we will
denote the players that have already committed.  We
will also be compiling a lengthy recruiting packet,
as was compiled last year that will be distributed to
the coaches at the event free of charge.   If a coach
is unable to attend we are pleased to report that
we have an underwriter that is helping provide the
expense of us printing and sending  out the packets..

Also, we will be compiling a packet of information
etc. for each of the players.  Any information about
your program and/or institution that you would like
can be put into these bags if we receive this by
November 25, 2001.  Please send all of this
information to Eastside VBC; 1621 Highview Road; East
Peoria, IL.  61611.

We are also asking RSVP commitments of coaches and
recruiters that plan on attending so we can compile a
pass list and have enough packets printed,
so please acknowledge if you will be attending and the
names of your associates that will be attending.  For
your housing needs, please check the link
on our website for establishments close to Eastside
Sports Centre.

Lastly, this is a series of messages about the event
that will be forthcoming during the next few weeks to
keep you updated about the event.  If you do
not want to receive this information, or want it
redirected to someone that should receive the
information, please respond to this email with remove
or
the address of the person that should receive it.  If
you should need any further information, or have
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
