Q: What is Eversport Volleyball?
A: Eversport Volleyball offers after school volleyball clinics and leagues and has been promoting volleyball in the Evergreen area of San Jose since 2014. Our goal is to build a supportive community that provides a positive environment for players to develop their skills. All ability levels are welcome. Our leagues and clinics are typically for 5th-8th graders.
-----------------
Q: Who are the coaches?
A: The coaches have decades of experience between them coaching school teams at Chaboya Middle School, Quimby Oak Middle School, and Silver Creek High School. They genuinely want to see the players improve and do things the right way in the early parts of their volleyball journey, therefore enabling them to have lots of room for growth.
Club Teams
Q: Will Eversport have boys and girls club teams?
A: For now, we are starting with boys teams, though we could do girls teams as well if there is enough interest.
-----------------
Q: Are Eversport Volleyball Club teams a new thing?
A: Yes, there is an amazing volleyball community in the Evergreen area of San Jose, but there are no local boys volleyball clubs, so Eversport decided to provide an opportunity for local kids to join a volleyball club with great coaches without having to travel so far.
-----------------
Q: What age groups will Eversport have teams for?
A: This detail is still being worked out. We are considering ages 11-15 for now and trying to gauge interest.
-----------------
Q: Where will Eversport Volleyball Club hold team practices?
A: This detail is still being worked out. Our best guess at this point is they will be held at Chaboya Middle School.
-----------------
Q: When will tryouts for Eversport Volleyball Club teams begin?
A: This detail is still being worked out. Our best guess is that they will be held sometime in the second half of the summer.
-----------------
Q: Will Eversport Volleyball Club teams only be for students at Chaboya Middle School?
A: No, the teams are open to anybody.
-----------------
Q: Will Eversport Volleyball Club teams only be advanced players?
A: No. We hope to have multiple teams separated by skill level and age. Details are still being worked out.
Clinics
Q: I’m not sure which level I should sign up for. Can you help me decide?
A: If you are not sure, we suggest signing up for the beginner/intermediate session. If the coaches believe that you may benefit more from the other session, we’ll offer you the option to move up. Similarly, if you sign up for the intermediate/advanced session, it is possible the coaches may move you down to the beginner/intermediate session if they believe that you will get more out of that session.
-----------------
Q: Is it possible for the coaches to move me to another session once the clinics start?
A: Yes. The coaches strive to put players in the session which will benefit them the most.
-----------------
Q: Can players be in the gym or on campus before their session starts or after their session is over?
A: No, players should be dropped off a few minutes before the clinic starts and be picked up within a few minutes of the clinic being done.
-----------------
Q: Will participation in the clinic help a player make the school team?
A: Any improvements a player makes will give them a better chance of making their school’s team. However, simply attending a clinic coached by their school’s team coach gives them no advantage in making the school team.
-----------------
Q: What should players bring to the clinics?
A: Each player should bring a bottle of water, wear appropriate active attire and footwear, and have a positive attitude. We’d highly recommend knee pads as well if you have them.
-----------------
Q: Outside of the clinic, how can my child continue to improve their volleyball skills?
A: This is an important question. In order to see faster improvements, players should practice what they learned at home as much as they can, even if it’s just a few minutes a day. Just remind them to practice using the techniques they learned at the clinic. The more they do that, the more those techniques will become natural for them, and the faster they will improve. Doing things with an incorrect technique really limits how much better a player can become and makes it more difficult to correct later.
-----------------
Q. Can we sign up for individual sessions at a prorated fee?
A. At this time, we are not offering that option. Please check back to see if that option gets offered at a later point.
Leagues
Q: Can I play on the same team as my friends?
A: Typically you have the opportunity to specify a friend with whom you'd like to play. We'll try to get you both on the same team, though it is not guaranteed.
-----------------
Q: Will I be playing with players who are much better or much worse than me?
A: No, we separate kids by skill level and then make teams based on skill level.
