THE MADNESS CONTINUES IN THE ALOHA STATE: XCELERATION EMBRACES THE ALOHA SPIRIT AT SPRING BREAK MADNESS
(March 27, 2022) - ALOHA! This word is commonly used, especially by visitors to Hawaii, to mean “hello” and “goodbye.” What most people do not realize is that “Aloha” is a Hawaiian word with many meanings, ranging from love, peace, and compassion to pity and grief (see newsletter for other translations). The host Aloha Region showed how a tournament embodied the “Aloha Spirit” from start to finish. And from Xceleration Volleyball Club, we say, “MAHALO!” READ MORE.

18BLUE QUALIFIES FOR SPRING JUNIOR NATIONALS! PHOENIX-BOUND IN APRIL TO ENTER NATIONAL STAGE
(March 14, 2022) - Earlier this month, 80 teams in the 18U age group entered the 7th Annual Sierra National Qualifiers at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center and, with only two bids to the 2022 Spring Junior Nationals available for the taking in the USA Division, the 18Blue clawed their way to the finals to secure the elusive ticket to compete in the USAV Spring National Championships in Phoenix, AZ at the end of April. READ MORE.
The 18Blue began the tournament as the 16th seed in the 20-team USA Division and results from Round 1 pool play did not bode well for the senior team led by co-head coaches Andy Schroeder and Jeremy Swann, falling in two tough and excruciating nail-biters to start their day. All hope seemed lost, and morale was at a low during the first day of the three-day event. However, the team got back on track in their afternoon matches to take down the 11th seed Southern California powerhouse SG Elite from San Gabriel before a minor setback against the eventual champion and Las Vegas-based Dig This! Volleyball Club.
Round 2 results were mixed. The 18Blue held on to their 11th position with a clean and quick victory over Rocklin-based SynergyForce, but they could not overtake the 10th seeded Slainte Black, losing in similar fashion. Then, something clicked! The 18Blue rattled off four consecutive victories, which included toppling the 6th seeded Club V from Utah, the 3rd seeded 805 Elite from San Luis Obispo, AND the 2nd seeded Slainte Black from San Francisco. One by one, the 18Blue dispatched the teams ahead of them as they gained confidence and momentum to get to the top.
In one of the most satisfying victories during the season and with a national bid on the line, 18Blue avenged an earlier loss to Slainte Black and accomplished what they initially set out to do coming into the tournament – earn a bid to the USAV Spring Junior Nationals by finishing as one of the top two teams at the end of the event. Icing on the cake would have been a victory against Dig This! in a rematch, but the team was already on a high and the last game was inconsequential. Now, the team will prepare before heading to the Valley of the Sun to face new challenges and show what they can do on a national stage – let the madness begin!

XCELLENT NEWS #2: THE FIRSTS...
(January 25, 2022) - Setting foot on volleyball tournament floors in Roseville at the JVA NorCal Winter Classic or in Nashville at the Music City National Championship may be old hat for many Xcel members, but there are also several players and families who are experiencing their first taste of competitive volleyball in 2022. We may all remember that first whistle, the first serve, the first kill, the first dig, the first win – all a thing of beauty – or even the first loss but, nonetheless, season openers always hold something special in our hearts and psyche.

XCELLENT NEWS #1: BACK TO THE NEW NORMAL?
(December 12, 2021) - In various venues throughout the nation we see throngs of rabid fans, overflow crowds, and spectators standing shoulder-to-shoulder, enjoying the sports events that were temporarily placed on hold due to the pandemic – fans are filling arenas to see Steph Curry surpass the 3-point record… the 49ers are showing flashes of their Super Bowl glory (but stumbling at the same time) in front of capacity crowds… the Giants welcomed baseball enthusiasts back to Oracle Park in their record-breaking season… college football stadiums are bursting at the seams… and the list goes on.
While it is nice to see some sense of normalcy in the sports world, this only gives us a false sense of security. Let’s not forget that the virus is still among us. READ MORE.
