Thank you for taking the time to look into The HBC.
We are a NATIONALLY RANKED and recognized volleyball club based in HUNTINGTON BEACH California. The HBC is dedicated to giving all boys the opportunity to play volleyball, while also teaching the game at its highest level through hard work, discipline and TEAM. We also emphasize the fun of the game, while at the same time, not being afraid to coach and correct our players to maximise their talents.
Parents and players,
In today’s game there are (2)- important challenges to deal with: (1)-club volleyball is big business. With so many clubs in your area to choose from and school coaches now being allowed to coach their players year round, it is critical to make sure you find the club that best fits you son, not just filling-out another team in a volleyball club program.
Challenge (2)- is the transfer rule that governs High School volleyball. At this time and for the foreseeable future, students are allowed to transfer schools with minimal obstruction or having to sit out. This means, what a player and his parents perceive as his pathway to making the program, a starting spot on a team, or joining the VARSITY at some time, could be a false reality. At any time a player from another school can transfer into your school and what YOU THOUGHT WAS YOUR TIME, IS NOW A LOT MORE CHALLENGING.
For these reasons, it is crucial that you do two things……TAKE CARE OF HOW “YOU” TRAIN and HOW “YOU” DEVELOP AS A PLAYER! Don’t just sign-up for a program that is local, where your friends are playing at and its comfortable, or one, just because your school coach is involved with it. Please take the time to find a club volleyball program that will make you the best player you can be, in the few years you have to play junior volleyball! If you can find a club and it involves all the things listed above, great! If not, FIND IT and don’t be afraid to drive, it will pay off.
It is a competitive world both on and off the court. Spend your time and money wisely by finding a program that will push you to your limits and then some more!
GOOD LUCK!
The HBC.
