Letter from the Directors

Few people have the daily opportunity to work with

kids like yours. Your kids are beautiful and bright and

hilarious and bizarre and interesting and talented.

They are hardworking and thirsty for knowledge.

Some are more athletic than others, some are taller,

some are stronger, but every one of them shares a

passion for being part of a community bigger than

them. When they walk in the gym, the playing field

is even. Every single one of them is important here.

They are our family and each other’s.

Our hope at the end of the season is not only that

they have grown as volleyball players, but also that

they have grown as friends, as students, as people and

as community leaders. We hope that they take what

they have cultivated here out into their lives–that the

lessons they learn in the gym grow and evolve with

every passing year. Our staff is unparalleled and the

c lub is a total reflection of the love and commitment

they put into the season as well.

Devoting ourselves to this club has been one of the

greatest joys of our lives. We are striving to live out

our mission every day by helping to support the city

of San Marcos’ youth athletics programs and forging

new relationships with many of the local schools

and city leaders. We are also active every day on the

college-recruiting front, and every one of our soon-

to-be seniors are well on their way to college. For us,

whether a player decides to play volleyball in college

or not, they’re going; and we’ve worked to put them

on a path to get there.

Wherever your family’s path takes you, we hope that

it leads back here. We look forward to continuing

sharing in your lives and letting you share in ours for

years to come.

We have the best job in the world.

Every single day, we wake up excited to get in the gym, and thankful to be able to call SoCal our hobby, our passion, our career, our home. It’s not the easiest thing we’ve ever done, but it’s by far the most rewarding and the most fun. We’re thankful every day to have your family here, sharing in the adventure.

Go SoCal!Aimee Asebroek & Scott Phillips

Coaches & Staff

College recruiting services is included in your membership here with SoCal Volleyball Club, and we manage every part of the process in-house. Here are some of the recruiting tools we provide to our members:College Guidance Counseling - we sit with

players individually to understand and manage their

expectations, fears and goals. We help players establish

a college admission wish list and then suggest other

schools that might be a good fit. SoCal’s resident

College Admissions Advisor is an expert in this area.

Player Profiles - we will help all players create an online

profile where coaches can view their academic and

athletic information. Player profiles will include statistics,

skills videos, game videos, pictures and club contact

information for college recruiters.

Skills Videos - we build a library of skills videos for

each individual player. We have all of the necessary

technology and resources to tape, edit and publish

videos of players executing the skills that college coaches

look for to evaluate a player.

Game Footage - we have hundreds of hours of live,

uninterrupted game footage of each of our players. We

are sure to tape almost all of our teams’ competitions

and then publish them online for coaches’ access. We

can easily send videos to coaches and have video editing

software that allows players to edit and create their own

highlight reels.

Unlike other clubs, SoCal provides our high school athletes with resources to help you navigate the waters of college recruiting. There are many rules regulating how and when coaches can communicate with you, what you can do on your own and the academic requirements you must meet. We are here to help!

We can help you figure out what characteristics/traits are important to you in a college and which meet your criteria.

We will sit with you and help you make those first phone calls. We are a resource for you. The thought of college can

be daunting to players and parents. We are here to help families feel like college is a possibility for every player.

College Recruiting

As a service to the community, SoCal is eager to meet the various needs of our families. For those interested in lowering tuition costs, SoCal offers fundraising opportunities. If you are concerned about tuition, please see Aimee Asebroek or Scott Phillips for more information or visit the Financial Aid page on our website. Never let money be the reason you don’t play for us.

We are always thinking about ways to be creative with

fundraising. Our most successful programs are listed below. We

are always looking for new ways to raise funds. Let us know if

you have any great ideas, and we’ll get them up and running.

Check back with us frequently for more programs.

1. Military discounts: Members of the military are qualified to

receive our military discount.

2. Multi-family member discount: Do you have multiple

kids in our program? The second player in our program does

not pay a registration fee of equal or less value. Monthly fees

still apply.

3. Player Referral Program: Do you have friends that don’t

play for us yet? For the upcoming club season, every player you

bring that makes a team and signs up with us that isn’t already

a member, you’ll receive one month’s worth of dues FREE*! If you bring 8 people, that’s 8 free months! Ask about our Player Referral Program and Player Referral Postcard.

* Tuition value is equal to the amount of the monthly tuition for the program in which the new player is registered.

4. Work Study Program: If you have extra time, we have

work available for you to earn credit towards tuition. Assisting

coaches with camps and clinics is a great example of helping

SoCal in exchange for tuition credit. This program is for high

school students. See Aimee or Scott for more information.

5. GoFundMe: One of our major projects has been to find

better ways to support our member’s with financial aid options

that take advantage of our 501(c)3 not-for-profit status. The

best source of support for your daughter can be found in

your family’s business relationships, extended family and close

friends. Most of these groups would be interested in helping

her by making a tax-deductible donation. So, we teamed up

with an organization called GoFundMe. It’s so simple…you

just ask. An individual sponsorship letter and sponsorship form

for corporations and businesses are available on our website.

6. Sponsorships: Do you know local business owners? Sell

banners, web ads and court sponsorships to local business, or

your own friends, family and neighbors! Have the proceeds

applied directly to your club dues! Visit the website for more

information.

7. Golf Tournament: Each year, SoCal hosts the SoCal Scramble Golf Tournament at the San Luis Rey Downs

Golf Course. This is a FUN event that includes thousands of

dollars in prizes and cash and a great dinner is included in

the registration. Two thirds of every single player’s greens fees

are applied directly to the player that sells the tickets! Visit the

website for a printable flyer.

8. Donor Tree: Would you like your legacy to live on at SoCal?

Sell leaves to friends, family, neighbors and local businesses to

be engraved and hung on our beautiful donor tree at SoCal.

Proceeds are applied directly to the player’s club dues. Visit the

website for a printable flyer.

12 socal volleyball club • program guide

Check it outWhat our

members are saying!

I have two daughters that play volleyball and SoCal has always been a second home for us. We have been

members of the club for 5 years now, and would never

think of playing anywhere else. SoCal has great players and

families that have become good friends throughout the

years. Scott and Aimee know everybody’s name by heart

and always make you feel very welcome. The coaches are

great, helping the girls develop and improve on skills to win

as well as making it fun! Many Thanks, The Behncke’s

For the past few years, SoCal has become a second

home for us. We drop off, pick up, hang in the cafe, do

homework, stay late, arrive early, go to other practices, get

caught up with friends, get inspired, celebrate birthdays,

ride a bike, read emails, and do work with the free WiFi!

It’s the most positive and fun place to be. Volleyball

has become part of our life and we are so happy to

have SoCal at the heart of it. The Berarducci’s

SoCal Volleyball Club has been our volleyball home

since 2006. We enjoyed the Open Gym nights as a family

(Joe, Thomas, and Rachel Fanchin), participated in clinics

(son coached and daughter learned), met our daughter’s

future high school coaches and teammates (Tri City Christian

Coaches Doug and Kristin Wright and Sarah Krippner and

Kayley Milligan), signed on to have our daughter play on the

club teams (16-1’s and 17’1’s), and I even reconnected with

my generation to play at Nationals (via Bonnie Bright). Thank

you for the opportunities and the memories! We are looking

forward to the 2013 season. Gratefully, Vanessa Fanchin

We visited several in the county and settled in San Marcos

because, SoCal provided coaches with extensive volleyball

backgrounds. The first tryout was encouraging, we met

other girls and parents with the same passion for the sport.

Traveling the 90+ miles round trip from Chula Vista was

a sacrifice but worth it. My daughter grew as a player

and as her mom, I met awesome parents. :) We wish

SoCal the best for the coming season! Janet Ahzi
