CAVB UPDATE! Spirit Wear Available

Good Morning CA VB Team, Family and Fans!

We are truly excited to be able to provide you with a few pieces of athletic wear to represent the 2015 VB teams/family (Middle and Upper School alike).  Please note that purchasing is strictly voluntary.  But, for those interested . . . attached is a link to order:

http://vikingcorner.lightspeedwebstore.com/school-programs-athletics-volleyball

***The 1/4 zip is the one item that would be approved for players to wear during school as the neck line qualifies as a "collar" and would be dress code permittted.  Also, each item will have a logo (not seen in pictures) to note the pride of CAVB.

MOST IMPORTANT - Since we would like the items to arrive during the season, time is limited - Please place your orders by September 1 Midnight. 

Let's GO VIKES!

Best,

Kim Lopresti (Tessa's Mom)
