    Updated – 5/20/2020 – 2:09 pm – Session 1 and Session 2 has been Postponed. We hope to have Session 1 and Session 2 in July. As soon as we know, we will post the current information

    At this point we still plan to run our 2020 Summer Clinics. We will abide by the Federal/State/County/City guidelines. We know that we will have to modify our Summer Clinics to make sure we abide. At this point we are accepting registrations with no payments. We feel that there will be a max number of athletes we will be able to have on the court. By sending in your registration, you are holding a spot for your son/daughter. Once we know for sure the guidelines, then we will ask for your payment. It is a first come, first serve situation. (Example – If the new guidelines say that we can only have 20 players in the gym at one time, the first 20 families that send in the registration will be guaranteed a spot) If you have any questions please let us know.

    Right now we are working on the guidelines to keep our athletes and coaches safe.  

    We will abide by the guidelines that are set forth by the following organizations.  We hope that they are all the same, so that it make it easy to make sure we are able to follow the guidelines.

    • City of Walnut Creek
    • Liberty Union High School District
    • CDC
    • State of California
    • USA Volleyball
    • Diablo Valley Volleyball Club Board

    At this point we do not know the exact guidelines that we need follow but will be in place when the clinics start.   

    Once we know the guidelines, we will post this information as well as send it to our families.  In the end, if we feel it is not safe then we would not run the clinics.

    Here is the information for our 2020 Summer Clinic. If you have a question about the level, please contact us.
