GCVC is for the Athletes
 

Using volleyball as our platform, our mission is to inspire personal growth and development by providing an honest, encouraging, and competitive environment. We focus on the individual athlete while working together to build a healthy team culture through education of the game, physical preparation, and mental strategy.

Tracy,

We just got home from a pretty fantastic tournament and just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for a couple of things: 

1. You do a great job picking coaches. Our coach has been fantastic with the girls and it's amazing the progress they have all made even from this week to the last. She seems to have the perfect balance of making the girls feel comfortable and confident while also demanding them to work hard and do their best.

2. Thank you for providing opportunities to play high level volleyball, learn a lot, and keeping the travel reasonable. Our daughter made a national team at another program and not only are the dues ridiculous, the travel is ridiculous and unnecessary, especially for families who have other children and obligations. Also, when we have tournaments in Columbus, for those of us with multiple kids it allows both parents, friends, and other family members to see the girls play which is really special.

3. Our daughter played the best volleyball of her life today and I'm so proud of her growth as an athlete. She is all in for all of her sports, and thank you for making it work for multi sport athletes who are willing and want to work hard and perform well, but love several sports. She is becoming more and more of an athlete every year, and when she is playing volleyball she loves it so very much. The girls had such a great weekend and they are confident, strong, prepared, well rounded future citizens of the world that will have a lot of life lessons they have learned through sports and had a very healthy, affirming sports experiences. 

So I just appreciate you putting together such a great program. I'm sure you spend a lot of your time hearing complaints, and people forget to share when things are going well, but I am very proud to be a part of your club and appreciate the role you are playing in making my daughter a confident, proud young woman.

Hello GCVC.  Hoping this message gets to Tracy.  I just wanted to tell you how happy we are with our daughter's coach in leading her 12u team.  She is so energetic and positive with the young girls on this team.  She corrects their plays in a very constructive manner and has a deep understanding of the game and great method of explaining technique to the girls.  Her communication with the parents is excellent and it's so nice to be at a tournament and hear the other parents talking about how much they love the coach, rather than the opposite.  Having an older daughter in club volleyball I know that this isn't always the experience you get, especially at a younger age.  But we are so very happy with Coach and the experience that our daughter is having at GCVC.  Thank you for hiring this excellent coach!

Sincerely,

Mom

Our daughter is so honored to receive  an offer from your club. She loved coming to your facility from the minute we walked through your doors. The fact that you took the time to get to know her name and who she was in the first day was more impressive to me than anything else.

When my kid tells me on the way home after her first practice that she wants to play  GCVC  and no other place, tells the whole story.  

I know she cannot wait to play.  She is the kind of kid who will put in work there and at home on off days to get better. She wants to be good and willing to put in the work to do it. 

We will make it official later tonight and accept your offer. 

It is crystal clear to me the difference with your club and the rest.  Your husband was spot on with everything he said to me the other night.

I will make sure to refer anyone who wants to play volleyball to your facility from here on out. 

Tracy and Coaches,

Thank you for finding a way to practice all summer and for making this volleyball season possible! Wow, what a difference a year makes! Last year at this time, my daughter could not get a serve in, she was beyond frustrated with herself and the game. I wasn’t sure she was even going to return for this season. But I’m so glad she did. After 6 matches, 14 games and easily 30 plus serves yesterday, this girl did not miss one serve. Not a one. And her team got their first tournament win! So I want to thank each of you for all your hard work and making a difference. Her smile says it all!
Thank you!
 

Tracy and Allison,

Greetings!  Just a quick note to thank you both for an excellent club experience for our daughter this year.  Our family could not be more grateful for the coaching, nurturing, confidence building, and enhanced volleyball skills attained.  She is coming out of her club season with refreshed confidence and continued passion for volleyball, and our family is so grateful.

Allison, thank you for your efforts day in and day out with this team during an unprecedented season!  It is hard to believe that at the first tournaments parents couldn’t attend.  Thank you for your hard work, diligence, communication, advocating for this team, and building confidence for each team member - you are such a gifted coach.  Thank You!

Have a great rest of the summer!

That’s why we love GCVC.  Thank you so much for giving the girls a place to go and play the game they love and have a place they look forward to!  You have definitely earned your angel wings!!
