THE CVA PROGRAM
TRAINING SYSTEM
Capital will train its athletes under a “master coach” system of training. This is a proven system that Dave has been fortunate enough to learn from some of the best coaches in the country. Dave brought this system to the Madison area 2 seasons ago. This system provides a consistent progression of teaching the skills of volleyball within each age division. This will create a more competitive practice environment and promote the development of individual skill. For example, an athlete on a 15-3 team will receive the same technical training as an athlete on the 15-1 team. As the “master coach”, Dave Bayer will be responsible for developing all the practice plans for each age division. Under Dave, there will be one “lead coach” at each age division to assist Dave with the development of that group.
PROGRAM DEFINITIONS AND DUES
Capital Volleyball Academy offers three levels of quality volleyball experience to help support the needs of all levels of skill in junior volleyball. All three programs offer the same technical skill training for each team and athletes "ARE" allowed to play high school sports.
PRACTICE TIMES:
CVA practice days will be Sunday evenings, Tuesday evenings or Saturday mornings and Wednesdays evenings (see programs below to find out which days). There will also be an optional position training practice on Monday evenings. In an effort to work with the drive times and homework issues of our players, all practices will be done by 9:00pm. Also, during the girls high school basketball season, we will accomodate those athletes by attempting to use Saturday practice days instead of Tuesday night practices.
* The 12s/13s programs will practice Tuesday from 6-8pm @ISEA, and Fridays from 6-8pm @KEVA.

TRAVEL POLICY
Families will be able to make their own arrangements to tournaments for the 07-08 season. This will allow families to use their own resources to find the lowest possible hotel costs, airfares, car rentals, etc...Teams MUST stay at the same hotel for tournaments. Capital will work with the team parent group to find a common hotel or two for the club to stay for travel events. Capital will only set up travel for the coaches. Teams will still be required to pay for their coaches travel costs; (hotel, perdium, gas, parking, salary & airfare if needed).
FUNDRAISING
The Team Parent Group will provide opportunities for fundraising which can help cut the cost of club more than in half for the 07-08 season.
CVA COACHING COMMITTEE
The CVA Coaching Committee is a group of Capital head coaches that has been put in place to help advise the club director in the decisions that are pertinent to the success and future of the club. As the club grows and moves in the future, this group's vision will ensure that our future is still grounded by the foundation that the Capital Volleyball Academy was built upon. The members of this committee have over 80 years of club volleyball experience for CVA to rely on.
TEAM PARENT GROUP
The Team Parent group has been created to help give the parents of CVA more of a voice in the club volleyball experience. Each team in CVA will have one parent who will take on the responsibilities of the “Team Parent.” Each age division will then select one team parent from their age division to represent the parents on the Team Parent Group. The group will sit in on annual club meetings with the CVA Coaches Committee and the Club Director. The team parent group is a resource for the parents to help improve the communication between club & families.
COACHES CLINIC PROGRAM
An essential part of our success is the training of quality coaches. Capital expects its coaches to be teachers of the game and maintain strong discipline in the practice and match environment…always in a positive manner. As our coaches grow in their education of the game, we also want to share that education with the middle & high school coaches in the Madison area.
This year CVA will be running the “Coach’s Clinic Program” where CVA will be inviting the school coaches of our players into our practices. Here, the school coaches can learn new techniques, observe new drills and witness their players' development in our program. It is similar to a free coaches clinic held many times over the course of the club season, in order to work around your school coach's schedule. We feel that the opportunity for your daughter’s school coach to learn from coaches like Pete Waite, Cathy Noth and Dave Bayer is a tremendous benefit. CVA feels that as club volleyball gets stronger in the Madison area, the “Coach’s Clinic Program” program will also help our middle & high school programs in the area improve.
