Hello-
The weather here has been beautiful! The play in the gym has been pretty good as well... we are back from a short Easter break and had small group practices Tuesday and team practice yesterday and tonight. We have been focusing on serving aggressive and defensive work for this week. I just sent out a rough schedule to the teams for our Sunday, April 25th tourney-- It is looking like we will have Dakota State and Mayville State (both NAIA schools) and Bethany Lutheran and Martin Luther here. We will be splitting our current UMM team into 2 teams to maximize our playing time and opportunities this spring and we should have 2 alumni teams as well (a Young Team and an Old team... but they are sensitive to that so we have to call them the "Veteran Team!"). If you are counting at home that's 8 teams!! Should be lots and lots of volleyball and fun!
Otherwise, spending a lot of time working on the Tinman Triathlon, an event I am in charge of as part of my Intramural Coordinator position... that is Saturday, April 24th- good planning huh!? We will have close to 100 participants and almost that many volunteers to help with the swim, bike and run! I am also excited because we have a full bus (50 students!) going down to the Twins game on Tuesday, May 4th to watch them play the Tigers. Part of my IM job is to help sponsor a bus trip each year (last year we went to a MN Wild hockey game). Sometimes I love my Job!!
Have a great week!
