50 + boys and families proudly wear the GGVB logo in its first year~ 76 boys in year 2!
GGVB was formed with the understanding that it is about growing boys volleyball and giving back some of his expertise to the area. GGVB was the lowest cost club in Sacramento, with results as good as some of the Northern Californias most established clubs. Highlights from the first fall and winter season include high player and parent satisfaction, 3 of 4 teams in Gold division for fall power league, top 8 finishes at Nor Cal No Dinx, and top half finishes in a large pool of the Anaheim So Cal invite. |
