In the last week we have had over 6,000 hits for a total of 15,400!  Keep spreading the word about FaR Out!

Since we started counting hits on our site in September we are at 9,271!  Keep spreading the word about FaR Out and let's get to 10,000.

FaR Out VBC is so excited to announce our new youth volleyball program that will begin in November.  VolleyTots & Mini Volleyball are programs designed to get girls and boys learning the fundamentals of volleyball as early as 1st grade.  Girls and boys who attend this program will learn hand-eye coordination, volleyball-specific movement, as well as the basic skills of passing, setting, and serving.  The training in this program will systematically prepare young girls and boys to excel in the sport of volleyball as they grow and develop.

VolleyTots is for girls and boys in 1st-3rd grade and Mini Volleyball is designed for girls and boys in 4th-6th grade.  The two groups will train at the same time, but the training will be geared to each group's developmental level.

The program will be at the East Kentwood HS West Wing gym.  It will run from 6:30-7:30 p.m.  It will be every Tuesday & Wednesday beginning November 11 and ending December 10.  The program will not meet on Nov. 26 (the day before Thanksgiving).  Players will meet for a total of 9 sessions.  The cost for the program is $30.  That's less than $4 a session!

We hope to see your son or daughter at this great new program!  Check the Youth Program link on the Teams page for more info.

Tryouts for the 2009 club season are fast approaching.  Here are a few updates . . .

The location for the clinic on Nov. 15 has been changed.  It is now at Legacy Christian Middle School.  The address is 67 68th St., Grand Rapids, 49548.  The time is still 9-11 a.m.

FaR Out will be hosting a food drive in conjunction with tryouts on Nov. 16.  Any player who brings in at least 1 food item will be able to choose an item from the FaR Out goody box.  FaR Out VBC is committed to teaching players the importance to give back and this is one way our club can directly impact the Grand Rapids community.  We hope you will join us in participating in this event.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our FREE clinics on Nov. 8 & 15, as well as our tryouts on Nov. 16.
