MMC Volleyball

Volleyball in March? Yes, we are playing volleyball in March. When an athlete plays a sport in college, it is year-round. We started up with workouts and getting into shape right when we got back to school from Christmas break. We were doing things like lifting, plyos, running, etc. And now, since we have come back from spring break...we have been in the gym doing volleyball workouts. We only have one gym, and we have just about every main sport at MMC. So, it is always a struggle to get into the gym. Our basketball teams both just ended their seasons, so that meant we were able to get into the gym!

Friday is our first spring ball tournament. We will be traveling to Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, IA to play in the tournament. A couple of other schools will be there, too. We just play for a certain time limit, not really keeping score. This year, we have such a large spring ball team that we might even split up into two teams, which would be nice for all of our players to see a lot of playing time.

We will have two more tournaments and then our alumni game in the next month. Our alumni game will be a great one this year as we are having more alumni show up than any year I have been at the Mount. I can't believe it's my last season of spring ball. I'm really looking forward to our season in the fall; we have a lot of talent back. Also, we get to travel to San Diego for a tournament, and I can't wait for that!
