XCELlent NEWS No. 1: 2022-2023 SEASON'S PREMIERE EDITION
(November 23, 2022) - When founder and former owner Jon Segall started the Xceleration Volleyball Club in Concord over 17 years ago, he never would have thought where the club would be today – growing, flourishing, and becoming a fixture in the East Bay volleyball community.
