Conference outlook 

Honestly, I really can’t tell right now.  We are so different from last season and we have a lot to work on.  Definitely a rebuilding year for our entire program.

Keys to your success this season:

Being coachable, working hard, staying focused (many are playing new positions), and working as a team!

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

 Elizabeth Thomas and Des Brittnacher, volleyball coaches who have helped out with camps, clinics, and skills sessions this summer.  They put in the outside time needed for our players to have the opportunities to get better and grow.

We’ve also had a summer with some WRVB alumni coming back and supporting us at these events.  It is getting harder to find coaches so we are truly thankful for those who are willing to make time to support our program!
