It is our goal for all participants to learn and/or grow a love for the sport of volleyball and to develop as players who are fundamentally and technically sound. To achieve this, we are committed to employing coaches who share our mission, vision, and values, and are willing to work with us to better themselves and their players. As a club, we will train our players to compete against the best competition locally, regionally, and nationally.

XCELlent News #7... Opportunities Knock: Xceleration at the JVA West Coast Cup and Bay View Classic
The proverb “when one door closes, another one opens” says that even though you have lost an opportunity to do one thing, an opportunity to do something else has appeared. This quote is about missed opportunities. For years and years, the club has taken the safe route to end the club season at the Bay View Classic. The door was not necessarily closed, but an opportunity presented itself when faced with the option of traveling south to put a foot in the door at the inaugural JVA West Coast Cup – it was a no brainer.

After a one-year hiatus from the USAV Junior Nationals, Xceleration’s 18Blue returned to the national stage in Dallas, TX to compete in one of the most hotly contested tournaments of the season. At the Nationals, the team earned medals as the American Division finalists, falling just short of first against Arsenal VBC of Texas.

Parker Jones, Mere Naqase, and Ashby Russell were named on the All-Tournament Team.

Ingrid Lam Says Yes to the University of Chicago
SMART DECISION! Xceleration congratulates 17Blue's Ingrid Lam (Class of 2018) for verbally committing to play for the Maroons at the University of Chicago! She is in select company; the school has an ultra-competitive acceptance rate of 7.9%!

A Message from Jim Ross... Three Xceleration Teams Earn Post-Season Bids
For the first time in club history Xceleration had 3 teams earn bids for the post season. We want to take this time to congratulate the players and coaches on 18Blue, 17Blue and 15Blue for earning Junior National bids through the NCVA Power League.

18Blue already competed in the 18 Junior Nationals in April (the 18s schedule is different from the rest of the age groups) in Dallas. Congratulations to the team for their second place finish at this national tournament!

17Blue and 15Blue earned bids at PL Regionals this past weekend. 15Blue earned the National bid and will compete in Minneapolis in June. 17Blue earned the American bid and, per club policy, declined that bid and will compete in the Open Division at the AAU Nationals in Orlando in June.

Big congrats to the players and coaches on all 3 of these teams for this accomplishment and a huge thank you for bringing Xceleration multiple post season bids!
