End of season celebration

The end of season celebration will be Tuesday.  Please bring a little something to share with the team.  If you have any questions, see me Monday or drop me an email.

Celebration Plans

The end of season celebration will be either Tuesday the 28th or Wednesday the 29th.  It depends on how the girls soccer team does tonight (it's complicated).  We will play volleyball games from 3:00-4:00 and then have pizza and other goodies in the cafeteria from about 4:15 until 5:00.  I will provide the pizza, players can provide the other goodies.  Parents are invited to attend.

This week in volleyball

Today we practice from 3:00-4:00.  JV and Varsity have a home match against NCCS.  Tomorrow is our last match and we travel all the way to NCCS.

Good job against Peru

The team played well against a strong Peru team on Wednesday.  The team came away with 2 wins overall.  After we got over the first game jitters both teams played well.  Two more matches and we are done.  I can't believe we are getting down to the end of the season already.  Time to start thinking about an end of the season celebration.

This week in volleyball 10/4-10/17

We practice Tuesday.  Wednesday we have a home match vs. Peru Central.  The match will run from 4:30 to about 5:30.  Thursday we have a short practice before the home JV and Varsity matches vs. Saranac Central.  Friday we have a home play day from 4:30-6:30 vs. NAC and Plattsburgh.

Results: Friday at Saranac Central

We had a good tournament Friday at Saranac Central.  The Blue Team was undefeated with 4 wins.  They ran 4-2 offense.  The Gold Team had 1 win and some very close games.  The teams did well.

Match at Saranac Central

Today we travel to Saranac Central for a play day.  Games will go from 4:30-6:30

Check out this volleyball clip.  Notice how all the players are moving all the time.  They are adjusting to where they think the ball might go.  Knees are bent and nobody is ever standing still.  This is a key to being ready.  You should always be moving, always adjusting.

Successful tournament

The team did a great job on Friday facing Saranac Lake and Saranac Central.  The team posted a record of 6 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie with the Blue Team going undefeated.  The Blue Team even had a couple of bump, set, spikes!

Modified Play Day

The Modified team plays at Saranac Lake Middle School today, 4:30-6:30.  We will be playing against Saranac Lake and Saranac Central.  The bus leaves at 3:40.  Players should be ready at 3:30.  The Blue team will be playing our 4-2 offense.  They will be trying to pass, set and hit.  The Gold team will be playing "ball over" offense, which means they will try to send the ball back to the other side in as few touches as possible.

Varsity wins in SL

The Varsity Volleyball team posted a big 3-1 win in a loud Saranac Lake gym.  Good job team!

Today we practice from 3:00-5:00.  JV and Varsity have a match at Saranac Lake.  We are working on a 4-2 offense, which means 4 attackers and 2 setters.  We are slowly moving from just getting the ball over the net to a real offense with a pass, set and spike.  This is a big transition, but we are tackling it little by little.

JV and Varsity post wins

The JV and Varsity volleyball teams won yesterday against Northern Adirondack.  JV won 2-1 and Varsity won 3-1.  Practice for Modified today is 3:00-4:30.
