We will be in the same two court volleyball facility in Nixa for the upcoming 2016 club season

Slight change of plans...in a good way...Xplosion vbc is planning on staying in the facility in Nixa for the upcoming 2016 club season. It is a two court volleyball facility and a great place for volleyball in the area. Club Net Results and Xplosion will share the facility approx. 50/50 and both clubs are excited to work together.  Similar to last year when Xplosion is using the facility for practice it will be just our teams in the gym this winter.  The same can be said for Net Results when they are practicing. Both clubs will handle the financial responsibilities together of a facility while offering a wonderful opportunity for the girls to have one practice facility and a place to call home. This decision was finalized yesterday.  For more info about the club, our teams that are starting to form NOW, and to get to know more about the club/club director email coachjamesh@gmail.com 

To elaborate a little more...

The facility was a little too much for Xplosion to handle financially by ourselves.  A few weeks ago I released to our club members we were making plans to move out of the facility...and only days after that decision a door opened for Net Results and Xplosion to work together.  The Net Results director and I get along great and we both want the absolute best for the girls. Given the total amount of teams both clubs are projecting we will have plenty of practice time for both clubs.  I think working together is a wonderful solution and possibly we can make a positive impact in the community and in the lives of our players,parents, and coaches. 

thanks,
Coach James Hanger

Plans for Xplosion VBC in 2015/2016

Plans for Xplosion VBC for the fall of 2015 and upcoming club season of 2015/2016

1. Tryouts and forming teams.

2. Create more opportunities for our coaching staff to grow, develop, and pursue their passion as a volleyball coach.

3. Anticipated club season start and end dates

4. Projected club dues

More about forming teams for the upcoming club season......This summer we will begin forming our teams.  I will build teams based on the coaches we get this summer and return from club season last this year.  Both myself and the club coach may ask players to their team.  If you are interested in playing for Xplosion vbc please email coachjamesh@gmail.com the sooner the better and just simply say you are interested in playing club with Xplosion and plan on attending a small group, private lesson, or clinic this summer to get to know coach James and talk about club volleyball.

Will we have tryouts in the fall? Probably.  Some team rosters might be complete by the end of the summer and some may not.   My goal is to secure the majority of our coaches and players this summer.  I think we will add a few coaches to our staff later in the fall and those coaches will need tryouts for their teams.  As long as I have a coach who will do a great job…I will try to field a team for them to coach. I think this will allow between 6 and 12 teams for the upcoming club season (which is smaller than the 14 teams we had last club season). I want to focus on competitive volleyball training and have club members who want excellent training and players who are driven to be great teammates and volleyball players.  I think instead of growing the club and stretching our coaching staff thin it will be better for our club members and coaches to have fewer teams than we did last year and possibly add assistant coaches to some of our teams.  This way some of the veteran coaches can mentor the coaches who want more preparation before they have their own team of players in the future. 

2.       More about creating opportunities for our coaches to grow..... My time in the recent club season went into club management, facility management/upkeep, and training the players. I did not have more time in the week to spend with the coaches and provide additional support for them. The coaches are one of the most important components to a great club.  There’s no doubt about it. I want to support our coaches and recruit new coaches to the club who really enjoy coaching and want to grow the game of volleyball.  If that means the club has to pay for online resources the coaches are interested in we will.  Perhaps we will send the coaches to coaching seminars and/or bring in various college coaches or USA volleyball coaches to lead coach development sessions….I realize the club cannot move forward without coaches who have a passion for the game and who want to improve themselves.  I want to have a great support system for the coaches and I think coach development will be the most important factor to growing a competitive club in the future. 

3. Anticipated start and end dates of the season.. Every year I am looking for ways to improve the club.  One way I think we can improve the club experience for our members is to begin the season closer to the beginning of November.  Each year we have started training a little earlier and our practices in December and January have been excellent.  Our goal here is to make the most out of training from November to around spring break, and allow our players who want to continue training and playing volleyball after spring break the opportunity to do so as well.  For our 16s to 18s I think these girls will enjoy April, prom, and possibly a few weeks off before they begin summer training with their high school programs.....or...for the girls who want to play in major recruiting volleyball tournaments in April or the summer we can edit or form new teams and find some excellent tourneys to attend with players who are 100% committed to playing in April.

For our players who are still competing in high school volleyball in November they will not be expected to join their club teams until their school volleyball team has concluded their season.

For our younger players...as we conclude the club season tourneys around spring break it will allow these girls to play in some local leagues in April and into summer together or take a little time off from April to May before summer league's really get going that you may participate in.

4. Projected club dues...Our club dues start around $800.  Our older girls who travel to major tourneys and play in big events can expect between $1200 and $1300.  Our club dues package includes two mizuno jerseys including one long sleeve national jersey, a pair of mizuno spandex, and three t-shirts that can double as extra game jerseys. Our dues also include approx. eight tourneys.  Most teams can anticipate four tourneys in the Springfield area and four to five out of town in cities like St. Louis, KC, Fayetteville, Little Rock, Tulsa, Omaha, Memphis, and occasionally our strongest teams may travel to a city like Louisville, Chicago, or Dallas for a national championship or USAV qualifier type of tournament.
This years club dues will be similar to last year...Last years club dues: Can be found here

Field House summer league 2 with Xplosion vbc

The deadline to sign up with Xplosion to participate in the summer leagues at the Fieldhouse or the courts is May 1st.  Email coachjamesh@gmail.com with questions or see below for instructions to sign up.

Dates: May 14 to July 30
cost: $300 per team entry fee to the league
cost: $200 for the coach per team
cost: $975 for court rental and practice lead instruction from coach James per team
Total cost per person on an 8 person team: $185
Total cost per person on a 9 person team: $164

To sign up for summer league please email coachjamesh@gmail.com with the following info:
1. Players Name
2. Parents Name
3. Email address
4. Cell Phone number
5. Are you providing your own coach for league play? (Yes/No) If "yes" is the answer to this question provide the name, email, and cell number for the coach and the coach must go through a team practice with coach James prior to the league play, understand the lineup provided by coach James, and their role as a coach who is representing the club in the league. If the coach is not willing to be a positive member of Xplosion vbc for the league, or they feel like they cannot work with the lineup coach James has provided, they will not be allowed to coach. If the coach does go through this process and wishes to coach for free...then the team will save the $200 coaching expenses above.
6. Are you signing up as an individual? (Yes/No)
7. If you answered "No" to the above question list the names of the girls you are bringing with you as teammates for the league. If I have multiple people who complete question 6 this will help me to keep a group of girls together for a summer league team.  Individuals will be placed on the best team possible for their skill level based on the club season, small group sessions with coach James, and the summer league open gyms that will be held the last week of April.

(Girls who did not play with Xplosion vbc this season will be asked to pay an additional $10 for a t-shirt jersey they can use during league play. If the team and players want to use official jerseys from the club season we do have some extra jerseys and the cost per jersey is $30 for a yellow mizuno v-neck or $45 for a long sleeve black mizuno national jersey depending on which jersey we are going to play in. Most likely the girls will play in their t-shirt jerseys if we have more than a few girls from outside the club on the team.)

Summer league open gyms from 6-8pm are located at the facility at 1020 Hawks Perch Nixa MO 65714 which is at the corner of Kathryn and Gregg Rd. Near Wal-Mart.
Monday 4-27-15--11s to 14s
Tuesday 4-28-15--14s to 16s
Thursday 4-30-15--11s to 14s

Summer league matches are played on Tue, Wed, & Thur nights
The team may play once, twice, or three times a week and may play more than one match on one evening.  Most likely the league and practices will take two nights a week and occasionally three nights a week. We won't know what night practices will be on or league matches until the the schedule has been released.

League plus practices--The team will practice one evening a week and play in the league. Practices will be 2 to 2:30 hours and may consist of skills, position, physical training, and team training.  The first two practices will most likely be held Monday 5-11-15 and Tuesday 5-12-15 prior to the first night of play in the league on 5-14-15. 

Notes from the Fieldhouse:
The Summer Volleyball Session at The Fieldhouse is now open for registration...  This is the biggest session of the year (last year we had over 80 teams) and since we usually have so many teams, we have added Tuesday nights to the mix of 'days of play' - the leagues will now be played on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays - We did this for 2 reasons: 1) this will give teams more options when requesting, with so many having softball and/or soccer plus family vacations - we want everyone to get to play when its convenient for them.
2) we are also hoping adding the extra day of play might eliminate so many 4:40 games :)

Hotel reservation information for club season

Below are the hotel blocks the club has set up this season.  It is very important to reserve your room prior to the cut off date.  After the cut off date you may not be able to get into our hotel block or get the same rate we are getting. Some tournaments are "stay and play." Next to the hotel block if there is a note that says MUST STAY IN OUR BLOCK this means your daughter must plan on staying with our hotel block.  You as a parent can stay anywhere you want, but your daughter needs to plan to stay with the club.

In most cases if we have a hotel block set up please try to stay in the block.  It is your choice to stay in our hotel block unless the tourney is a stay on play tournament. If there is not a special note that says MUST STAY IN OUR BLOCK or  HOTEL INFO--ON YOUR OWN then you can stay in our block if there are still rooms available or stay at a different hotel of your choice.

The club does not secure hotel blocks for all tournaments.  We start out securing hotel blocks for the biggest tournaments on the schedule where we send multiple teams and work our way towards the tournaments where we will send two or more teams to that city for the weekend.  If your team is the only team from our club in a particular tournament then it's unlikely we will secure a hotel block.  If we do not have a hotel block set up next to the tournament date we will make a note that says NO HOTEL INFO--ON YOUR OWN.  Please make your own hotel plans for this tourney.  If your coach has a hotel room secured for this tourney I will let you guys know in case you want to stay where your coach is staying, but you do not have to in this scenario.

All players attending the Louisville tournament April 10-12 will room together.  This will be considered a college prep tournament and the girls will spend 99% of their time with their teammates that weekend.

Tulsa Tournament January 17 & 18

Checking in: 1-16-15 Checking out: 1-18-15

Option 4: I don’t think all of us can fit into these three hotel blocks set up for our club. If you can try to have two moms and two players in a room or if you know someone in the club well who can chaperone your daughter maybe this is a good trip to talk to that parent and see if your daughter can go with them.   If a block fills up I would call the hotel and ask for a room as an individual. You can also get a hotel room on your own at a different hotel.  I would suggest the Woodland Hills area of Tulsa or hotel close to our hotel options above.
