Ok....
My Spanish is thanks to Google Translate and not to me actually remembering anything specific from classes I took in high school.
HOWEVER - - -
Empire Volleyball Club is BACK, but not the original group of EVC-Prime. this year's version has some Latino HEAT!!! (yes that is a WWE reference)
The 2014 version of EVC is actually a reboot of SUAVE Volleyball Club and Empire mixed. This years members include, but aren't limited to:
Angel R (Bronx, NY)., Roberto H., Joachin S. (Both in NYC, NY), Patrick D., Francisco M., Joseph E., Todd R., Eder M., and Desmond H (All in Brooklyn). This is a very formidable team, when all the members are there. So far, Suave has had a difficult start to the season. Members have had injuries and struggled through tough personal situations, however, the team and club play on!!!
VAMOS JUEGAR!!! (Let's Play)
Suave Empire will be competing in the GEVA's (Garden Empire Volleyball Association) new Division 1 level. This Division doesn't eliminate AA/A/BB ranking or labels.What it does is it puts in play a simpler grading system and a better way for teams to register for matches. The divisional system also allows for more teams to play against each other and gain points more often throughout the season. Now, teams who at one point had to play up to AA/A to get extra tournament time in won't need to worry.
As a Club, we have already competed in three money tournaments this season. Two at Turners Club in the Bronx and one hosted by GEVA at St. John's University, though each tournament was met with its own challenges, Suave Empire did have a fair showing at each tournament. Eventually the group from all over New York City will gain a solid chemistry and win one of these up coming tournament this season.
SUAVE BOWL BOXES
Like all other teams we are starting our fund raising for the 2014 National Tournament, being held in PHOENIX, AZ once again!!!
As a result, we're having a drive started with the best fund raising idea any team can have (and most have). We're doing a set of Boxes for the Big (football) Game on February 2, 2014 at the Met Life Stadium, in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
To the right of this article is the Pay Pal links to purchase boxes. As you will see each box can be selected directly on screen. Below is a picture of the Boxes in an Excel Spread Sheet. Whenever a BOX is purchased names will be updated by 11pm each evening. Purchasing ENDS at 6:30pm Sunday Feb. 2, 2014.
The cost per BOX is $25. The pay outs are as follows: (if all Boxes are SOLD)
- 1st Quarter: $125
- At The Half: $300
- 3rd Quarter: $125
- At The Final: $700
We hope all of you can help us with our goal of getting to Nationals.
AS ALWAYS!!!
We want to thank all of our followers, friends and fans! Without you Suave Empire wouldn't really just be a bunch of guys playing volleyball and having some beers at the end of the day talking about our lives. well, we do that anyway, but now we have some awesome people to help us enjoys those special tournament moments all over again.
THANK YOU.
See you all during the season. Help us get to Nationals and - as always - GROW THE GAME!!!
