How many girls are out for volleyball this season? “We are going to be around 46 girls as of this last week. We look to have a good team again. We’re going to have a lot of freshman out which is a positive thing for our program and also have a lot of juniors and seniors that will help round out to our top end of program as well.”

How are things go so far this week in practice? “Excellant, you know as we started practice on Monday, we have just been trying to get more in a groove and work on our efficiency as we progressed this week, you know we do have have four coaches this year so that has really helped us in the gym especially when your working with 46 at a time. We lots of planning to make sure things are running smoothly so we can get our athletes as many touches as we possibly can in a day.”
