Hello All-
Sorry it's been so long since I posted... busy times here in Morris!
So, an update- The last couple of weeks we have been hitting the phones hard contacting recruits for the 2010 season! We made a big push to get prospective students to apply for admissions, if they were interested in applying for the competitive scholarship. The deadline for the competitive scholarship was December 15th. We had about 15 prospects on campus this fall and are starting to schedule more for the spring.
Then, last week I had the opportunity to head to Tampa, Florida for the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Convention. Basically it's four days of volleyball coaches talking volleyball and trying to find ways to better our team for the coming year. A volleyball coaches heaven! Oh, and the weather... was NOT -25 degrees with windchill! It was 70 and sunny two of the days! Also had the chance to watch the NCAA DI National semi-final matches where the Gophers lost in 3... but then flew home before the National Championship match between Texas and Penn State to be with Natalie and the boys, so missed what was probably the 2nd best NCAA DI volleyball match I've ever seen! But Heather and I watched it on Sunday- while my sons, Tyler and Riley were playing on her Wii in the basement (they were laughing so loud from racing cows I needed to go tell them to be quiet!).
Anyway- that's an update from here-- we are hoping to post once or twice a month from now until the spring. Heather is reminding me constantly, now that volleyball is over it's softball time for her! But I'll do my best to keep her in the loop and keep this updated.
Merry Christmas to all!
Coach B
