Greetings Players & Parents -

We are excited to begin the planning process for the 2010-2011 club season. Some big changes are taking place that will effect volleyball in West Michigan.

FaR Out Volleyball Club & Dead Frog Volleyball Club will be joining forces for their top level teams. The structure of the clubs will function like a triangle. The top of the triangle will be a comination of players from each club at the top level. The rest of the triangle will be split down the middle with both clubs retaining their identity, structure, and location. We strongly believe this will benefit everyone. The base of the triangle will be expanded through increased participation AND we will raise the level of talent at the top of the triangle to continue to compete with the best clubs in the nation.

Both clubs have a long-standing relationship (over 20 years) with one another. We share the same core values of hard work, strong competition, and creating a family-oriented atmosphere. In addition to these values, we both have a desire expand the level of volleyball in West Michigan. All of these factors and many months of discussion made it clear that it would be a win-win situation to create a partnership between the two clubs.

The next natural question for a parent is how does this affect our family and our daughter. For starters, each club will continue to offer the same opportunities in the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo areas, but now we will have an additional tier of participation for those athletes who desire to compete at the highest level. We understand that this may not effect everyone and that is why we will continue to offer outstanding opportunities that fit your desired level of participation. We are sure many questions are coming to mind . . . currently we are finalizing the details of this new tier of participation and will have complete information on the website by August 1.

Personnel from both clubs are very excited about this new adventure. If you have questions, please email us with a phone number that we can respond with answers to your questions. But keep in mind that plenty of details will be shared on the website by August 1.

We genuinely value the families who are involved in both Far Out and Dead Frogs. We are going to continue to work hard providing you with a quality product that you can be proud to be a part of regardless of age or level of participation.
