Gold Cal Jrs VBC was founded in 1999 when volleyball clubs, Team Flex VBC and Gold Trail VBC, combined.

Club Director & Owner Melanie DeMure

In 2000 Golden Hills VBC merged with Gold Cal Jrs VBC. At that time, Melanie DeMure became a volunteer board member. During her 5 years as a volunteer, Melanie developed the GCJ Training Team for athletes 12 and under, which is now the Junior Competition Team. Melanie purchased Gold Cal Jrs Volleyball Club in 2008 after the sudden passing of Gold Cal Jrs VBC co-owner Michael Giertych.

“Rest in Peace Michael, 1966-2008.”
