Update on Volleyball

I know it has been awhile since my last post, but thought I should write a bit to catch up.

Both our JV and Varsity Recreation teams were very successful in the Fall. Our JV team was made up of primarily 5th and 6th graders, but were fortunate to have some key returning players to help with leadership and skill development.
Our Varsity team was truly one of the better teams in the league and the immediate area. Made up of mostly 7th graders, they will continue to do quite well next season.

We do hope to have open gyms and clinics in the Spring and Summer. We hope that more girls get involved in the program.

I would like to take a moment to mention the girls that are continuing to play volleyball through the NH Seacoast Junior Olympic Program. Playing on the Elite 14U team are Megan Rouillard, Deb Peabody and Abby Ahern. Their team just finished 3rd in the Gold Division in the Mizuno Winterfest Tournament. This tournament includes teams from New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, etc...
We also have girls playing on another 14U team for the NH Seacoast Junior Olympic Program. This team will also be incredibly competitive. Girls on this team are Lacey Locke and Lauren Jones. We have three other players involved on a third 14U team. They are Hannah Mausteller, Kali Sabo and Katie Tomaszewski. These two teams will have their first tournament in March. We have no doubt that they will do extremely well.
Playing for the NH Seacoast Junior Olympic Program for the 12U teams are: Katie Dyer, Caroline Magee, Kylee West and Kayla Whitcher. I am anxious for these girls to "Show off their skills" at their first tournament, which is also in March.

I'll post some pictures of the Mizuno tournament that a few of our players participated in this past weekend.
