Hello-
It's been a while since we updated you on our happenings here at UMM and with the volleyball program, so here goes-
We've had a number of recruits visit over the last couple weeks- we are also excited to add a middle blocker to our program last night after she committed to UMM (NCAA rules prohibit us from announcing names at this point... but later in the spring we will let you know who's on their way). So that brings our total to 5 at this point--
Our first of 10(!) Junior Olympic volleyball tournaments was held last weekend, Feb. 28- 10 teams were at that one and we have our next tourney March 28- 19 teams have signed up for that and we will be using all 3 PE Center courts and both RFC courts. Then we have tourneys April 10, 11, 17 and 18... It will be a busy month (but the money we raise from that will help go to the trip we have to New England coming up this fall)!
The Cougars have been lifting with Coach Jarvis (and loving every ... other? minute of it!?). They have been playing a little bit on their own and we will start up with our non-traditional season practices after spring break on March 22nd. Very, very excited about that!! We are happy to announce we will be welcoming two new players to the team at that point, Alycia Heisler and Ashley Serbus- bringing our spring total to 13 players. I can't wait to get in the gym and see how we look and see if there hard work in the weight room and working out has improved their game!
That's about it up here for now-- Hope all is well and keep in touch!
Coach B
