Why should I choose Klub Khaos?
Klub Khaos' philosophy is to provide a competitive, fun and learning environment for athletes who want to compete at all levels of volleyball, whether it be recreational, regional, national, or eventually collegiate. We strive to instill in our athletes the belief that competitiveness, hard work and fun can and should co-exist. We believe in positive attitude, leadership, athletic ability and continuous improvement. We encourage our players to learn the game of volleyball, compete at the highest level, develop a positive view of themselves, their teammates and their coaches and always maintain respect for the game of volleyball itself.

Is Klub Khaos a member of any sanctioned volleyball organizations?
Yes! Klub Khaos is a member in good standing with the AZ Region of USA Volleyball. Klub Khaos can participate in any tournament within Arizona sanctioned by the AZ Region and in any tournament nationwide that is sanctioned by USA Volleyball.

How many teams does Klub Khaos have and what ages are your players?
For 2010-2011, Klub Khaos will have one team:

• Khaos Travel (will play in the Championship Division, age bracket TBD based on player mix)
  

Please click here for AZ Region age determination.
The age range for Khaos Travel players is 15yrs to 17yrs. A player who is 14, but has previously played in 15's or higher can be considered for our travel team.

How does Klub Khaos structure its coaching staff?
Klub Khaos believes in a co-coaching philosophy, which enables our coaches to be able to provide their specific expertise to all of our players. We will have a "head" coach designated for each team per AZ Region requirements, but our co-coaching philosophy provides for our coaches to be equal in responsibility and supervision so that our players know and understand that they must abide by either coach regardless of circumstance. All of our coaches are IMPACT certified with prior club level coaching experience.

How long is the club volleyball season and how many tournaments will you participate in?
Our club season will run from December, 2010 thru the end of June, 2011.  Our club season includes:

• 6 local AZ Region Power Tournaments (1 day each)
  
• AZ Regional Championships (1 day)
• Girl Power Tournament (1 day)
  
• Volleyball Festival (5 day)
• 5 out of town tournaments
  

When and where are tournaments?
AZ Region Power Tournaments are single day tournaments and are held on Saturdays with am pools starting at 8am and pm pools starting at 3pm. The Arizona Region of USA Volleyball notifies all clubs when and where they will play.  Due to gym availability and cancellations, we are not notified until the week of play.  Changes can occur as late as the night before a given tournament.

Girl Power is a fun friendship tournament held in the west valley in June

Volleyball Festival is the largest volleyball tournament in the country with over 700 teams competing in a week long tournament held at the Phoenix downtown Convention Center facilities in late June.

The anticipated out of town tournament cities will be Tucson, Denver, Anaheim, Las Vegas and Reno or Dallas.

What are your club fees and what do they cover?
Our 2010-2011 basic club fee is $1,700. Basic club fees cover all local tournament entry fees, insurance, AZ Region player registration, all AZ Region player/coach scorekeeping and certification clinic fees, facility rental costs, club operating costs, coaching fees, equipment, custom jerseys, socks, a practice shirt, sweat pants and sweatshirt, team sports bag and team polo shirt.

Klub Khaos understands that participation in club volleyball is a major personal and financial commitment for all players and their parents. We believe in keeping costs as low as possible while providing our players with the highest quality in personnel, equipment, uniforms and apparel.

We also realize that every family's financial situation is different and that life schedules will always find a way to conflict with volleyball at some point in the year. To keep flexibility for our players and to keep the cost of playing club volleyball affordable for everyone, all out of town tournaments will be "optional", and will require an additional cost of $425 per each additional tournament. Yet due to the incredible experience traveling provides the players, Klub Khaos will encourage each player to commit to at least one (1) out of town tournament during the season. Commitment and payment for out of town tournaments will need to be provided 30 days prior to the tournament dates. 

When are payments due?
There will be an initial deposit due upon acceptance to the club and then the balance divided into six monthly payments. Monthly payments will always be due on the 1st of every month. When your daughter is offered a contract, there will be a detailed payment schedule provided. 

When and where do you practice?
Practices are Tuesday and Thursday evenings, times TBA.
We practice at Shiloh Commuinty Church in north Phoenix (Union Hills & 32nd St.).

Does every player get to play?
Klub Khaos believes in giving every player an opportunity to play in every tournament match as long as each player fulfills their obligation to the team, which includes practice and game attendance, a positive attitude, enthusiasm and effort at all times. Playing time is not automatic or guaranteed, however, and each player must earn her position.

Can I go to tournaments with my child?
Yes! We encourage parental and family attendance at all tournaments.  Klub Khaos encourages parents to help provide snacks and drinks for the players at the tournament sites. For our Travel Team, parents wish to attend, they will be responsible for their own travel expenses, accommodations and meals.  When our team travels out of town, all players and coaches will travel as a team, stay together as a team and eat meals as a team.

What is your policy regarding parent involvement?
Klub Khaos encourages and welcomes parents to be involved and show the same level of commitment to the club as expected from the players. Getting your daughters to practices and tournaments on time, being supportive and upbeat as spectators for both wins and losses, helping with snacks, etc. are all important to the success of any club and help to make the club volleyball experience special. At the same time, helping your daughters understand the importance of following club rules and policies and allowing the coaches to do their jobs, make decisions and develop the team into a successful winning team, both on and off the court, is equally as important. If a concern ever arises regarding practice or game issues with your daughter, please make an appointment to meet with us at an appropriate time.  Due to the nature of everyone's enthusiasm and emotions at tournaments, parents will not be allowed to discuss an issue immediately prior to or directly after any game or tournament. Coach Hock and Coach Young will be glad to make themselves available to you at almost any time, other than at games or tournaments, to discuss any concerns or issues you have.
