Memberships Update:
We've received a lot of emails on new memberships, even though this was included on the last update, we wanted to re-publish some helpful tips.

• You must have a SportsEngine Account before you get a membership. Click here to learn more!
• Once you have a SportsEngine Account, click here to purchase a membership (memberships are available for purchase starting at 9:00 AM September 1st).
• Looking to affiliate your player to a new club? The new SportsEngine system changes the way we handle club affiliations. Clubs must now invite your athlete to their club, parents can no longer make this change. 
• Feeling unsure about the club season? To help, we have created a Sept-Dec youth reduced rate membership for just $25.00! This will cover your athlete in any NCVA sanctioned, non-competition activity. It's worth noting that, like all of our region memberships, this membership is not upgradable or refundable. Adults that are affiliated with youth (coaches), which require a background screen, SafeSport, and Impact training, will still have to purchase a full season membership due to the safety requirements.
• Current memberships expire on Oct 31, 2020, and we strongly recommend that if you have a current membership, that you wait till that membership expires. There is no need to renew earlier than that date.

 FIVE STARZ VOLLEYBALL CLUB

August 13, 2020

Five Starz Players & Parents

We wanted to post a brief update as to where the club hopes to be this 2020-21 club season.  First we would definitely like to field at least 3 teams this season with the following lineup of  head coaches:

18-Jason Balmes

17-Todd Rhoads

16-Dana Anglin

If allowed, based on current Covid-19 guidelines, we will host clinics for all of these age groups starting in September.  These clinics will most likely be outdoors on grass.  Additionally, we are currently working on securing indoor facility use in Sacramento for workouts.  As you all know, it is almost impossible to tell you with any certainty what is going to happen this club season, but we are committed to having a season if it is safe to do so and current restrictions are lifted.

We appreciate your support and patience as we navigate through the next few weeks.  As always, if you have any questions then please reach out to us.  

Sincerely,

Five Starz Volleyball Club

We are so proud to announce that our 17-Dana & 15-DEBBY teams earned bids to Junior Nationals in Dallas, Texas this year.   Congratulations ladies for reaching your goal this season and for your resiliency in dealing with the heartbreaking consequence of not attending Junior Nationals due to COVID-19 epidemic.

Five Starz Response to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), NCVA

Five Starz Response to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), NCVA

We hope that everyone is staying healthy during these unprecedented times. As you may be aware, the Northern California Volleyball Association (NCVA) has decided to cancel the remainder of the girl’s club volleyball season. We know that many were looking forward to getting back out on the courts as soon as possible, however it is in the best interest of everyone’s safety to cancel currently. 

Our Five Starz club director has a meeting scheduled for April 15th with the NCVA which should give us some indication of any refund that the NCVA may be allowing for the season. Please have patience with us as we determine if a refund will be forthcoming to your families. 

We will update families as soon as we receive any additional information. 

We want to thank you for your patience, understanding, and support during this unprecedented time in our nation and community. We look forward to a happy and healthy 2020-2021 season and hope to see all of you back in the gym.

Sincerely,

Five Starz Volleyball Club

Five Starz Players & Parents:

Five Starz Response to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

As a direct result of the recent developments to COVID-19, Five Starz Volleyball Club (FSVC) has made the difficult, yet necessary choice, to suspend our season until further notice.

The Northern California Volleyball Association (NCVA) has requested all teams to stop practices through March 22 and has postponed all league events through March 28. Additionally, each of our practice sites have closed temporarily as well. The NCVA has not made any official statement regarding cancelling the Far Westerns Invitational (scheduled for the end of April), or the remainder of the indoor season.

Dues/ Payments – For all FSVC families who pay through our ‘dues plan’, your regular payment for March 15 is due, and will be collected as usual. Please note, FSVC’s dues plan is set up to charge in arrears and cover expenses such as coaches pay checks, and court rental fees for the previous 30 days. Should the season not resume, April and May dues will NOT BE COLLECTED, and those families who pre-paid their season dues in advance, would be entitled to partial refunds.

We will update families as soon as we receive any additional information. Please feel free to look for updates on FSVC’s website (www.fivestarzvolleyball.com).  

We want to thank you for your patience, understanding, and support during this unprecedented time in our nation and community. We look forward to getting back out on the volleyball court as soon as practicable.

Sincerely,

Five Starz Volleyball Club
