Headed into the Home Stretch - Sunday, October 16, 2011

Sorry we have been away for a couple of weeks. We have been watching a lot of volleyball. Just to name a few: big Keystone Juniors tournament (that had all of the great teams in the area including a couple of teams from Delaware), leagues have wrapped up, and playoffs finished or underway.  All this being said we have a lot of movement in the top 10!

10. OLHC                                             Winner of region 11

 

Good luck to everyone in their regional championships and the Archdiocesan tournament. Pat and I have seen a big improvement in the quality of CYO volleyball. Most girls serve overhand, teams use 3 hits or try to just about all the time, and you can see the basics of a system coming together. We are thankful for all the coaches (the pay isn't great) and parents for their commitment to improving the sport of volleyball's reach in the community and CYO. Club tryouts are this weekend and we hope that your daughters continue their training by playing club ball for whatever club they choose.  

 

Thank you,

 

Brian  McCann and Pat Rucker
