Conference outlook:
We are excited for conference play and look forward to playing area teams.  Conference games bring a lot of energy and excitement.
Keys to your success this season:
We have 5 returning seniors that are helping lead the time.  They are helping the underclassmen feel successful by encouraging and engaging them as part of the team.  We have a lot of strong hitters to set to and our defense is strong with great receivers and diggers. If we play as a team this year, we will make some good memories.

Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed? 

We have a dedicated set of coaches, volunteers, and parents that have helped during the season and off-season.  Our summer fitness coach, Sam Moeller, has trained the girls to jump higher, get stronger and move faster.  The clubs in the area have been efficient in improving our teams game.  Parents that help by organizing team commodities.  Coaches that have helped with open gym and leagues this summer by volunteering their time to help the girls improve.

Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?

.I’m looking forward to a great season and making some forever memories with the girls.
