Lots of Information in one Post, also we have updated the calendar:

Puget Sound Region Boys Volleyball Collective

The Puget Sound Boys Volleyball Collective (PSBVc) provides opportunities for BOYS to compete in USAV Volleyball competition at a local, regional, and national level. PSVB was established to help boys in the Puget Sound have an avenue to play the sport they love.

We are dedicated to providing quality training, and competition at a local, regional, and national level. This competitive athletic experience can enhance social development, contribute to mental and physical health, and teach the values of teamwork, responsibility, self-discipline, and self-motivation.

PSBV is the effort of several clubs to build a platform for boys’ volleyball in the state of Washington. Athletes will be able to train in a local facility with once a month group practices to bring all the boys together for competition training. It is our goal to help the sport grow to where every club will have a successful boys program.

It is our sincere desire to provide a solid foundation of fundamentals to enable participants to develop, not only as players, but also as people. Given this base, we hope that these youths will continue playing well beyond their youth, for volleyball is truly a lifetime sport.

Boys Bjerring Tournament: Feb. 28 at Lake Stevens Volleyball Training Center

We will be kicking off with a boy bjerring tournament on February 27th. In this format, every boy plays with and against every other player in the gym. It’s a great way to try volleyball out without having to get together a whole team to compete!

We encourage you to ask your sons friends or boys you know might be interested in playing (once we get them on the court the will fall in love)!!! Please email Boysvb@psrvb.org with any questions.

Students From Cascade High School Win Spring Open Tournament

Mostly comprised of students from Cascade High School
Mostly comprised of students from Cascade High School

Last year the group of students from Cascade High School were caught flat footed in the championship game against a seasoned club team mostly from Graham-Kampowsin High School, this year they were not to be denied.  The foe in this years final was a group of students from Curtis High School, most on the South Sound  Volleyball club team.   As the afternoon wore on it was becoming apparent that this group comprised mostly of Jrs and Srs were not going home without hosting the trophy.  There commitment to volleyball was evident when after the tournament the group huddled together and talked about playing later that evening in Mill Creek, WA, close to the Cascade High School Campus.

The differences in style of play could not be any more apparent in the championship game.  The team consisting of mostly students from Curtis High School ran a consistent 5-1 throughout the tournament.  The Cascade students ran the setter out of the middle and rotated to the setter position.   As the commissioner put it, “It’s not the style of play, but the perfection of the style of play that wins at this level of volleyball.”   To get to the championship the students from Cascade played a host of students from Washington High School, the first ever member school.  The play was great, and though the eventual champions won in two, Washington came within a few points to push the game to three.  The more energized match, which may have been the students from Curtis’s downfall was the O’dea students pushing the young team to three games and losing only by a score of 17-15 in the third game.   The Tournament Team will be announced tomorrow.

This years tournament featured only 4 teams, but the commissioner blamed it more on moving the date into June, than on lack of interest.  “If we had kept the same weekend, we would have easily eclipsed 7 teams and really pushed to eight teams. ” said Brian Boyer The commissioner of the WSHSBVA. “It’s a great lesson to learn now, and next week we will have our dates for next year all finalized this time much earlier in the year.”  WSHSBVA also announced that they would be hosting a Boys Doubles Grass Tournament, next year.   Dates and locations have yet to be determined.    The tournament was held at the Five12 courts in Puyallup, home to the Lake Tapps Volleyball Club.
