My middle-school age daughter wants to play volleyball and her school does not offer this as an after-school sport. Does anyone know where girls can join an organized volleyball team or league? I'm looking for a league or team in the Oakland/Berkeley area. Thanks. jb

Hello. You may want to try Golden Bear Volleyball club in Oakland for your daughter. Their phone number is (510) 531- 1111.

Over the summer, University of California at Berkley offers great volleyball camps that you may want to check out as well. The website is http://calbears.cstv.com/camps/06_camps.html, although it probably won't have the necessary information on it this early.

My high school freshman daughter is very interested in going to volleyball camp this summer, either day camp or overnight. She is an avid player and has been on her schools' teams for the last 4 years. I know about Golden Bear Volleyball, but would appreciate other suggestions, as well. Thanks. miriam

Re: Volleyball Camps
Try these. My son has gone to UCLA for 2 years and enjoyed it very much. (He liked the girls who were there also!) My daughter did a swimming camp through US Sports Camps, but this year will do volleyball. If you'd like to email me, I can probably find more local day camps for you.

My daughter loves volleyball and asked if there is a team as in baseball or soccer. I couldn't find anything like this for kids. Does anyone know of one? Stefanie

Try Goldenbearvolleyball.com to get more information. This is a volleyball club located in Berkeley. They offer camps in the summer and clinics in the fall. The youngest club team is usually 12 and under or 13 and under, depending on how many try out in that age group. Your daughter may be a little young for the club team, but she may enjoy the camps and clinics. If Golden Bear doesn't work out, there are other clubs; Kalani, Lamorinda, Academy. Rachel

I was a coach for Golden Bear Volleyball for many years and can recommend it as a great program. I believe they offer teams for 8 year olds but your best bet is to contact the Cal Youth Sports and see if they can point you in the right direction: 643-CAMP (2267). Good luck! --Sioux
