INFORMATIONAL MEETING | OCTOBER 22

CCJ will host its annual Informational Meeting on Sunday, October 22, 2023 at 4:00 PM.  This meeting will be for any player and/or parent interested in the competitive programs and teams that CCJ has to offer for the 2024 season.  We will be discussing information concerning the upcoming season, including National and Region teams, the 2024 tuition budget and fees, player evaluations, and the Cactus Classic Invitational.  We're excited about the new additions to our coaching staff and most coaches will be on hand for players and parents to meet and answer any questions concerning CCJ and/or club volleyball in general.

PLAYER EVALUATIONS (OPEN HOUSE PERIOD)

CCJ will offer Open Houses where potential players can attend a practice setting to see we're all about and what to expect from our coaches.  Players and parents may talk with the Administrative Staff about what we have to offer, meet the coaches in their age group, and see the practice location of the club.
