~CBVC - Champion Beach Volleyball Club
by Phil Dalhausser & Dale Davis
CHECK OUT THE CBVC 'FLEX' SESSION!!!! If you cannot commit to a set 6-week session this is the one for you!! Scroll down, down, down to CBVC Program Details.......
CBVC is a non-profit Women's Beach Volleyball Club Program designed to help young athletes achieve their highest personal potential in the game of Beach Volleyball.
CBVC was developed by PHIL DALHAUSSER & SKYLER 'Dale' DAVIS. Phil Dalhausser won the GOLD MEDAL in BEACH VOLLEYBALL at the Beijing 2008 Olympics & has been a member of the top AVP & FIVB teams for years. Skyer 'Dale' Davis has been a professional Beach Volleyball player & has countless Open wins under his belt....shorts! These two men bring their decades of knowledge & experience directly to CBVC. In order to be a Champion, learn from CHAMPIONS!!!!!
Both Phil and Dale play volleyball professionally and have a knack for sharing their knowledge by teaching the necessary skills and strategies for players to compete at any level. CBVC has sought out the top players/coaches in the state to pass this knowledge on to young players.
CBVC Players will learn advanced skills no other Beach Volleyball Club teams in Texas teach such as: beach hand-setting, over-hand digging, pulling & blocking, looking & hitting, and much more. CBVC also teaches mental toughness and game composure, in addition to advanced strategies such as running plays and defensive schemes.
As Phil & Dale are extremely passionate about their sport, the CBVC Select Team is designed only for serious players whose goal is to play at the highest levels of competition. We hand-select players from our CBVC Advanced Team ( 'A Team') and surrounding areas to join CBVC Select.
All players will be learning the same techniques and strategies used on the AVP/FIVB tours and will be taught by first hand knowledge. Due to Phil competing in FIVB Events worldwide, our local pros will be the onsite coaches, teaching a program developed by Phil and Dale to help players reach their personal maximum potential, which is certainly different for every player.
CBVC has two teams - Advancement Team (A Team) & Select Team.
Advacement Team (The 'A Team')
CBVC 'A' (Advancement) Team is where all players start & is for those 12 years and up interested in learning proper technique and becoming a better Beach Volleyball player.
CBVC 'A Team' is also for players looking to build strength, quickness, agility and skills necessary to improve the indoor volleyball game. Our philosophy is to teach the advanced skills of Beach Volleyball from the beginning of a player's career. For example, hand-setting; even though the player may choose to bump set in tournaments, they should be hand-setting in practice in order to master the skill in the future.
Players on the 'A Team' will participate in the same tournaments as the Select team players with the exception of the open level tournaments. Practices will teach the proper skill techniques, mental toughness and proper decision-making. As players demonstrate these abilities, they will be invited to play on the Select Team. The advantage of going through the 'A Team' is that the player learns proper techniques and is constantly under CBVC coaching supervision and only then can she (or he!) move on to the Select Team.
'A Team' practices are more skill-based, as opposed to Select Team practices which are more strategy-based. CBVC understands players develop at different rates, so all players are accepted on the 'A Team'. CBVC believes it is very important to FIRST instill confidence & knowledge in young players instead of making cuts before skills are taught, practiced & have had a chance to be improved upon.
CBVC Practices are twice a week (Monday & Wednesday afternoons) in 2-hour sessions, plus 'Friday Night Lights' tournaments are offered during the summer. By joining CBVC all players will receive a Mikasa Beach Volleyball, 2 reusable Third Coast water bottles & a uniform piece (CBVC sports bra) as part of their registration fee.
Select Team
To make the CBVC Select Team, players must consistently demonstrate the ability to make the right decisions each play, be mentally ready, physically fit, have the drive to play at a higher level, and a winning attitude. Players must also take a short written test to ensure each player has completely learned the necessary skills and strategies to play on the Select team.
Players selected for the CBVC Select Team will receive customized coaching techniques to fit their style of game which will give them the best chance of winning. For example, a shorter player will build their game around defense and the sideout game. A tall player might build their game around blocking & hitting.
Every player needs something a little different. CBVC Select will utilize our practice time to isolate each player's needs. CBVC Select teams will actually compete in qualifiers before some Open level tournaments. Top finishing teams will receive covered entry fees for that particular weekend tournament. This gives the players the same feel and pressures as going through a professional qualifier. Players will also receive their own ball and autographed uniform. There are privileges to being selected for the CBVC Select team, and hard work & dedication are expected in return.
CBVC Select is intended only for players ages 16-25 that not only possess a higher level of athletic ability, but an incredible desire to play at a much more competitive level. The CBVC Select program is not for most players, or those wishing to play for the enjoyment of the sport. WHICH IS PERFECTLY FINE, by the way!!! Select Practices are extremely strenuous and players will work hard on becoming better overall Beach Volleyball players.
CBVC will only tolerate positive attitudes & good sportsmanship. We want you to learn how to win humbly and lose gracefully. Sometimes losing does more for a player's growth than winning.....
CBVC Select teams will also be encouraged to compete in local open level tournaments at Third Coast & with GCVA. These are the same tournaments in which the coaches typically play. This is the highest level of competition in Texas and we are excited about the excellent future Beach Volleyball players CBVC is helping to develop!
Lifestyle Sport...
Beach Volleyball is a 'lifestyle sport' meaning players live the lifestyle which includes being an overall healthy & fit person who will be able to take the skills learned & play the sport for many years to come! Another part of the 'lifestyle' is to have fun, & playing Beach Volleyball IS FUN! Some players' natural talent & abilities will lead them to compete, which is great. However, others want to learn the game simply to keep their strength & skills honed for their indoor teams, as well as to simply have fun in the sun & sand.....both of which are equally important!
Regardless of which CBVC level players participate in, they will learn the skills and strategies necessary to compete at their level of Beach Volleyball & will learn these skills from the most experienced coaches in the state!
More about CBVC....practice time, water, sunscreen, sunglasses, partners, and most importantly, what to wear!
Practice times will be used efficiently. Practice is not a place to share the recent gossip or chat with friends. If this sounds like you, take note!
Some may wonder why most CBVC practices are held in the heat of the day. The reason being the game of Beach Volleyball is typically played during the day in the summer. In order to be successful at any level of Beach Volleyball, players must learn how to monitor & be responsible for their own bodies & their ability to play in the heat. Coaches will pay particular attention to the heat's effect on players to insure EVERYONE takes sufficient breaks & will have players take additional individual breaks whenever necessary. Third Coast also has showers & a misting Rain Room where players can go to cool down. Players NEVER need to ask to take a break for water or to cool down!
Each CBVC player will receive two complementary refillable water bottles one of which will be required for use at all practices. Complementary ice water will be available in coolers that will be set out for players to have easy access to cold water during practices. The Third Coast snack bar will also be available with additional beverages for purchase such as Gatorade, Zico Coconut water, Odwalla, Ozarka Natural Spring Water & Vitamin Water. (drinks and/or coolers are NOT allowed to be brought in to Third Coast)
The use of sunscreen & the wearing of sunglasses is required for practice. Third Coast & CBVC feel it is imperative for young players to get in the habit of applying (& reapplying) sunscreen throughout practice, as well making adjustments necessary to play in sunglasses. (polarized glasses are preferred as they reflect the sun's glare on the sand much better than non-polarized sunglasses)
Now for the important stuff! What to wear?!?!?!?!? ;-)
Each CBVC player will receive a sports bra as their uniform piece that must be worn during tournaments. During practice, players may wear whatever they feel comfortable playing volleyball in, however string bikinis are not allowed. Players may wear 2-piece bathinsuits, 1-piece bathinsuits, shorts with a tank top, boardshorts with bathinsuit or sports bra top, etc. Players may NOT wear any piece of clothing that requires constant attention (ie: needing to adjust bathinsuit bottoms after every play!). If that is the case, players will be asked to put on a t-shirt or tank top over their suit. Keep in mind there ARE showers on site, so players should wear clothes in which they can rinse the sand off!
Partners?!?!?
Players may choose who their regular partner will be for tournaments. However, during practice coaches may partner up players they feel would play well together. It is VERY IMPORTANT for all players to be open to playing with different people in order to become a well-rounded Beach Volleyball player. Coaches will pair up teams for practice according to their skill level, not necessary their 'friend level'. If friends are of the same level & wish to play together coaches will certainly take that into consideration.
Players are encouraged to enter 'Friday Night Lights' tournaments run by Third Coast, regular Third Coast Tournaments held on Saturdays, GCVA tournametns in Galveston & CBVC events in other Texas locations, but tournament play is NOT required of CBVC players.
In short, CBVC is a great way for young volleyball players to have fun this summer while learning the skills necesary for Beach Volleyball that not only strengthen their bodies, improve their speed & agility, but also sharpen their skills for Indoor Volleyball! Did we mention it is also really, really fun!?!!?!!?.............;-)
