Show up, work hard, celebrate the good, learn from the bad. Volleyball is a great sport and fun at every level, so let's work hard and compete but not forget to enjoy the game while we're playing!

Fun Fact - I foot-faulted on my first serve in a varsity game because I stepped to the wrong line on the court. The rest is history.
