Grand Strand Juniors.

WE ARE GSJ!!

Grand Strand Juniors — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:02:58 +0000

Hello all,

One of the mottos we often use is “We are GSJ”. The spirit of that saying means that we are all in this together. If any one team is successful, then we are all successful. All of our parts connect to make up the whole that is Grand Strand Juniors. In our first year with Grand Strand we had three teams and I coached the 14′s. We had a lot of ups and downs at the tournaments. I can’t remember getting any t-shirts. The highlight of our season was at the Region Championships, we won the Club Silver division. To us it might as well have been the Olympics and that t-shirt a Gold medal. Winning Club Silver meant we finished 26th overall out of 36 teams in our division. Yes, I said 26th. Several players on that 14′s team have stayed with GSJ and will graduate this year and have gotten scholarships to play volleyball in College. We’ve come a long way since then and have several teams in the top 10. But none of them is an island to themselves. Like our bodies and machines, it takes many moving parts to make it work, and those parts who don’t get a lot of credit or have a lot of success, are just as important as the one who do. “We are GSJ”. Lets roll!

Southern Classic Gift Exchange
The sunglasses have arrived. The cost is $10 per player. Payments should be collected by the team parents and given to me at one time.

Recruiting Seminar

Recruit GSJ and Coach Aly Pompeani will hold a recruiting seminar this Sunday, February 19th, at 5pm. We encourage all parents to attend and highly recommend parents of girls ages 16-18 attend. We will cover some of the FAQs of recruiting and will have an open discussion at the end of the seminar.

Topics include:

When to Start?
-Age vs. Development

Skills videos and making contact with coaches.
- What to say and when to say it.

The time line of the recruiting process
-What each athlete needs to be focusing on at each level of her club experience.

Do’s and Don’ts of recruiting
-Simple mistakes many players make and how to avoid them.

Please come with a notebook, pen, and plenty of questions! We are here to help and will do our best to answer any and all questions you have about getting your daughter to the next level!!

Charlotte Tickets
I’ve given the coaches and some parents a ticket order form. Get with your team and let them know what you need. Adult tickets are $20 and Kids (5-17) are $10. Collect orders and payments and give to me at one time for the team. I will collect payments and orders on March 6th and 7th at the X.

GSJ Second Season
Club season will end at the Region Championships March 23-25th. We are offering a chance for interested players to continue like the National teams until June. Cost is $300 and will include two practices a week and two tournaments (Myrtle Beach and Orlando, FL). We will make room for 2 teams and determine age of team based on interest. Deadline is March 1st. Space will be limited. Selections made by the coaches until team is full. Interested players should email me so I can put you down.

GSJ Banquet
We are super excited about the GSJ Banquet this year. It will be great way to end the season and have a great time GSJ style. Date is April 18th at Beach Church. Right across from the X. Players are free and guest will be $10. We’ll have food, music, and a good time. If anyone is into catering we are looking for someone. Expect about 200 people.

Late Payments
Players not up to date or arrangements made for payments will be removed from rosters prior to the March 10th and 17th tournaments. I will be traveling and payments should be made when I return.

Coach Sing will be away February 21st until March 4th.
My two sons will be graduating from the Air Force basic training and I will be in Texas for the ceremony.

Have a Great GSJ Day,
Coach Sing

*** Southern Classic Gift Exchange… if you are new to to the Southern Classic… it is a gift exchange tournament. Each team is encouraged to exchange gifts with the opposing team during pool play and just a great way to show teamship. In the past, each GSJ team was responsible for determining and organizing that teams gift exchange. To make it easy and as a great approach to promote our Coastal Classic Volleyball tournament we purchased sunglasses to give out for our GSJ gift exchange. This makes the process more cost effective for each player and less cumbersome of a process. The cost is a whopping $10 per player and they will get an awesome pair of sunglasses. If the teams want to add to the gift such as candy or whatever.. that is up to each team. You will need approximately 60 gifts.

So please bring $10 and give it to your coach… coaches, please keep track of who gave you what… especially Richard (me).

______________________________________________

A BIG congrats goes out to one of our 18Nfinity athletes! Karly Klimas made her college decision this week and has committed to Methodist College. Karly is a 5’2 Libero and is excited to head to Methodist this fall. “I know this is a great fit,” said Klimas. “I love the coaches and the girls are amazing. I am looking forward to the preparation I have ahead of me and will be counting down the days!”

Karly – we are so proud of you and know you have made a great decision. We are confident you will have an amazing impact at Methodist and play a significant role in their growing success!! Congratulations!!

GSJ News – 2/6/2012 – Challenges and Successes

Grand Strand Juniors — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:12:20 +0000

Hello everyone,

One of the things I appreciate about the Bible is the fact that it deals with so many of the emotions and conflicts we have in everyday life. Sports has a way of bringing out those conflicts and emotions very quickly. As coaches, players, and families we are brought up in a society of high expectations and very little sacrifice. Is anyone using a dial up modem these days? No, we want better and faster, and we want it NOW. Machines are easy to make faster and better, but building individuals and teams is a much different task. Expectations must be balanced by individual and team sacrifices as well as the reality of the physical and mental attributes of each player. If we try to measure progress only by winning, we are often disappointed. As director of GSJ I’ve tried to focus my attention on the process that makes programs successful. There are countless hamburger restaurants, but McDonald’s created a system to make it the most successful. Our commitment to have a practice facility and host tournaments to help fund our program, give GSJ the same advantages as clubs who rank at the top. We also seek to hire qualified coaches for our teams. Even with all of these advantages in place, the process will not be the same for everyone and the speed at which players and teams develop will be different. Players, parents and coaches all want it NOW, but the reality is it often takes time. The sport of volleyball requires communication, discipline and trust. All of which take TIME to nurture and develop. I hope the following story gives you some insight and inspiration.

Kylie Haun is one of the most amazing players for her size in the state of South Carolina or anywhere for that matter. She lead her team, Hillcrest High School, to the AAAA State Championship this past year. I’ve had the opportunity to witness some of her development over the years and remember when she was just OKAY. Her success is no accident. In My first year working the Wofford College camp Kylie was there for not one, but two sessions. 7 straight days of volleyball training. It was not her skill at that time I noticed, but the fact that she was there for two sessions when other players just came and left after one. When we started the outdoor volleyball series, Kylie was there. She played every time she got the chance. I’ve only spoken briefly to her but you can tell she loves the game by watching her play. She has had many different coaches over the years. Some better than others. Google her name and you will see her accomplishments including State Player of the Year. Remember, at one point she was just OKAY. It was not a fast track but a consistent effort to improve. Her commitment to and love of the game of volleyball made her successful. Dedicated hours in the gym, willingness to engage in the process, discipline, and having a great attitude can all describe Kylie. Watch her play here: http://kyliehaunvolleyball.com/

GSJ is about opportunity. You can have as much or as little volleyball as you want. Not getting enough practice time? See if you can join another team’s practice. Need to work on skills, we’ve set aside Sunday’s from 3 – 5pm for players to come out and work on skills with coaches available for instruction.

GSJ Second Season

Our Regional season will be coming to an end the last weekend in March. If you would be interested in playing a second season from April until mid June please let me know. Cost will be $300 ($100 a month) and include 2 multi Day tournaments (Myrtle Beach and Orlando, FL). Practice at least twice a week. Once we see who is interested we will form teams at the appropriate age levels and assign coaches.

Club Payments

February Payments are due. I’ve been updating payment info and see several who are running past due. If payments are not caught up or arrangements made players may be removed from the roster.

Payments can be sent to: GSJ, PO Box 1648, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 or given to me (Coach Sing)

New Uniforms

Teams should have the new Nfinity uniforms. Please return the Mizuno uniforms to your coach to bring to me.

Upcoming events

Mizuno Challenge Club Divisions February 11th

Mizuno Challenge Power Divisions February 18th

Thanks,

Coach Sing

GSJ News – 1/24/2012 – Urgent Charlotte Championships Info Needed

Grand Strand Juniors — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:24:08 +0000

A huge congratulations to all the finishes GSJ Teams had in this years Winter Bump. In every division we were competitive and had a few teams finish in the top of their divisions. I say this all the time, but we’ve come a long ways in a short 5 years and it’s exciting to see the girls competing at a very high level. Please know that the goal isn’t the first tournament, it’s the continued growth forward. It’s easy to get caught up in “whys”, but try to consider the “hows”. As in “How can I improve in certain aspects of the game.”, “How can I contribute to the overall “team” goal.” and most importantly, “How and what can I do to be better for my team.” The “why” questions do not outline a method for success, whereas the “hows” allow players to achieve end results.
_________________________________________________________

A second congratulations go out to the GSJ Players nominated for Toast of the Coast. You can find the article here – Toast of the Coast. Each of the players listed is a huge part of the Grand Strand Juniors Family.

_________________________________________________________

If you are on a GSJ roster you must complete the information request for Charlotte. Link is below in the email from region. The region is still waiting on a large number of you to enter your Charlotte hotel or other travel plans for the event. We need to get this done ASAP.

To: Parents

From: USAV Palmetto Region

Re: Charlotte Lodging Information/ Required from members

WE ARE ASKING EACH CLUB TO SEND THIS EMAIL TO ALL MEMBERS WHO’S TEAM IS ATTENDING CHARLOTTE TOURNAMENT. – Some of you already know this information and has completed everything needed by the region- to you, Thank you! You do not need to re-enter your data.

For all: we need every member ( parent or player) attending to input your information into a region database- even if you are commuting, staying with friends/family or camping out in a tent- ha.

The region host each year our volleyball region championships at the Charlotte Convention Center. This is a 2.5 day event- starting on Friday at 3pm for some and 6:30 for rest (to be decided later). We have been able to keep cost down, almost half the entry fee of other 2-3 day events because of our negotiating power we have collectively as clubs. This year we will have 30+ courts with 250+ teams attending.
In 2010 all clubs agreed to stay within the region hotel block- which in turns, keeps cost down with all hotels and the convention center.
Complete FAQ can be found here: http://palmettoregionvb.org/wp/tournaments/juniors/palmetto-regional-hotel-info/

What we need from each of you by Feb. 1st:

1) If you have NOT made your Charlotte Hotel Reservation- do so now. What rooms/hotels remaining with available rooms can be found at link above.

2) Once you have done this- enter your information into the Region Database- again- at same link as above. This includes commuters, members staying with friends/family, members who are using hotel reward points to secure rooms- in order words- just tell us what your plans are while there.
Members in the region database will also be able to purchase Pre-discounted entry tickets.

3) IF you have more than 3 or more rooms in one name ( considered a block) these must be converted to who is using them with the hotel- and that info input in our database by 2/1. If an individual is holding more than 1 room for themselves- you must decide which room you plan to stay and release the other(s). This allows others who are looking for rooms to acquire them.

If you have questions- Betty Smith is handling all this information, she can be emailed at bjslandura@aol.com. Before you email, ask your club director, they probably have the answer.

4) Finally- on another subject- we are asking each of you to sign back into your daughter’s USAV Registration file and make sure you have a valid email address in on the main page that gets info to parents. You can sign back in here:https://webpoint.usavolleyball.org/wp15/IntraLock/Login.asp
When we have important information that needs to be sent to all members ( tournament info, weather cancellations, etc) we send it out to address of this record. We are getting back almost 300 bad addresses and many more are addresses of the player- who may or may not get info to parents.

Thank You for Coming to the 2012 Myrtle Beach Winter Bump Volleyball Tournament

Grand Strand Juniors — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:20:49 +0000

2012 Winter Bump Results

The 2012 Winter Bump is now in the record books and on behalf of Grand Strand Juniors, I want to thank you for coming to this year’s event. Our staff has had to overcome many obstacles for the 2012 tournament and have worked extremely hard to make sure you had a good tournament experience. Having to pull together multiple locations in a short period of time, work with new tournament formats, and divide volunteers for 8 locations over 3 days was no easy task. Many sites were new and we encountered situations that required additional attention. In spite of everything, we pressed forward because in the end we wanted to play a volleyball tournament.

I know that most of you came, played, and left having a great time. I am aware that some glitches did occur. We were unable to provide master officials at every location as planned (Two canceled at last minute), GPS directions were different (Myrtle Beaches own officials were not aware of this) from address of physical location, and not having an internet based system required additional work tracking the play schedule. A few other minor issues occurred as well.

In the end it was about 169 teams coming together to prepare themselves for the rest of the 2012 club volleyball season. As a coach I was given the opportunity to look at my team in game situations and understand what our needs are. I saw my team grow over the course of three days and continually improve. I learned much more in our failures than our successes (although I like the successes better) and can be more confident in what I need to do before the next tournament comes around. From all of us at the “Winter Bump” have a great 2012 club volleyball season.

Sincerely,
Alex Sing
Grand Strand Juniors
Winter Bump Tournament Director
