2008 Summer Developmental Program

--The teams will be formed and completed the night of July 13th of 2007. The formed teams will practice twice or three times a week (to be decided depending upon the availability of the HW gyms).
--The first PRACTICE will take place on MONDAY (July 14th, 2008). The tentative schedule is to have practices on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays (with a couple of exceptions depending on the availability of the gyms).
--If you must leave on a family vacation (and can't attend all the practice sessions), it is still recommended to attend the practices that you are able to make.
--The season ends on either August 31st or the first week of September (TBA) with approximately 16 practice sessions for each team.
--Each team will be composed of 10 to 12 players with TWO coaches to assure a low player to coach ratio. The Summer Program will emphasize fundamental skills through high quality repetition as well as basic strategies of volleyball and team competition.

Go to the Clinic tab for all the necessary forms for the Developmental Program.

Mona Greenberg

It is with deepest sadness that we relay the following news: after a long battle with cancer, Mona Greenberg passed away peacefully in her sleep yesterday afternoon.

Mona was an important and influential SMBC administrator in the mid-1990's and played a major role in the rise of SMBC Girls as a regional and national club volleyball powerhouse.

She was instrumental in making the Volleyball Festival in Reno the tremendously enjoyable experience it remains to this day (she helped pioneer the SMBC Talent Show and Barbeque and was one of the negotiators on the original contract between SMBC and the Hilton Hotel, now the Grand Sierra Resort, which remains in place even now.

Mona is survived by her daughter Rachel (SMBC Class of 2002, Santa Clara University), her son and her husband. In the name of the entire Santa Monica Beach Club family, we extend our deepest heart-felt condolences to the Greenberg Family.

Thank you for so many great memories and we will miss you, Mona.
