We are very excited about the way the 2008-2009 club season is shaping up for KVA!

Here are some of the new things you will see:

Head Coach Emil Chuidian - Emil lives in Katy, and has been coaching for Pearland Juniors for several years. He is also the assistant coach at Prairie View A&M, which competes in the NCAA Division 1 Southwestern Conference. Emil will be coaching our coaches, as well as one of the teams. The discussions we have had with him have excited us, and we are anxious to get going!

Developmental Director Danielle Wells - Danielle is a graduate of Faith West Academy, played college volleyball in Florida, and is currently the coach of the freshman A team at Cinco Ranch High School, as well as the assistant varsity coach. She will oversee our new developmental program for girls 10-12, which will begin a few weeks after the club season gets underway.

Parent Coordinator- Jeff Fenton will be observing all of our teams during the season, and will be available to the parents to answer all those questions about lineups, scoring, substitutions, positions, and tournaments. He, along with wife Diana, will be assisting with the website, communications, tournament information, uniform ordering, etc.

Parent Orientation - at the request of several of our coaches, we will be holding “training sessions” for all parents, in hopes that some of those questions can be answered before they are asked!!!

A new look - We have made a few changes to our club’s colors, including the uniforms. We are adding purple, and reducing the yellow. Our new colors are reflected on our website. We will also provide warm-up pants for all club division players this year, instead of just the jacket.

A new schedule - all of our Club Division teams will attend a major tournament early in the season and another one to end the season. All of these will be in Texas, typically in San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, or Houston, so we don’t anticipate having any “local” teams, only state level teams. Most parents really enjoy the early away tournament, where parents can get to know each other, and players can begin to establish team chemistry both on & off the court.
