Girls Varsity Volleyball

When glancing inside the North Gym, the average student catches a peek at the Girls Varsity volleyball team practicing. From aces to digs, these girls present themselves in a flawless way, not only as a team, but as a family. This past summer, instead of surfing the internet or hanging out at the mall, these girls have had intense work outs utilizing both their strengths and weaknesses individually and as a team. The bond that was produced will definitely help them excel throughout the season. The girls are ready to knock ‘em dead this season with many returning and new, but promising players.

The team had a summer program from 6-8am every morning, in which they would practice and on Thursdays, their had their summer league. Although the team had many losses during their summer league, and probably could have done a lot better during their summer league, “those losses helped make [them] stronger for the incoming difficult games during league and CIF,” said senior Madyson Cassidy. On the positive side, they achieved their goals of uniting as a team and improving their own individual expertise as well. Good team chemistry is a very important aspect and is frankly quite hard to achieve. Moreover, to prepare for the season, their practices consisted of a variety of agility training, such as lunges, leg kicks, knee holds and back twists. The team practices about 10+ hours a week if there are no games scheduled for that week. On average they usually have 2 games a week, which would make it 6+ hours a week.

Some tournaments the girls varsity volleyball team had throughout the summer were Preps and Watts; Preps the team got first in the silver bracket and in Watts, the team won the championship, beating two or three of the toughest teams. That was definitely one of the highlights of that tournament. “Quote from Coach” Furthermore, their first was against La Canada and was a downfall, considering that the game ended with 1 win and 3 losses.

One unique aspect of this team is their sense of bonding. For example, the team had a Queens tournament in Lake Forest, or El Toro and they made a team decision to all buy gold spandex there. It was a fun team thing, and they decided that they would try and blind the other team and distract them with their brightness. Although that didn’t exactly happen, "it was fun and you'll definitely be seeing the gold later this season," said senior Courtney Woo.
