VHS Volleyball Alumni marries!!!

Last Sunday, former volleyball standout at VHS, Erin Beebe (class of '03) was married. She recently graduated from Auburn University (WAR EAGLE) and is now attending Optometry school at UAB in Birmingham, Alabama. Her husband's name is Sam and he is also a graduate of the best school in the nation and just happens to be one of my fraternity brothers as well so you know he must be a good guy. Our two children, Luke and Brooke, were the ring bearer and flower girl. The reception was held at the Crosley Mansion in Sarasota overlooking the bay. Many former players attended their teammates great day. Class of '02- Jamie Hitt; Class of '03- Margeaux Sinibaldi , Niki Davidson and Elaine Ellis; Class of '04- Danielle Durham, Melissa Whitescarver, Amber Davidson, Lisa Hough; Class of '08- Julie Howlet. Many of these players played on my most talented team in 2004. We all had a blast dancing into the night. Of course, things got a little carried away when Sweet Home Alabama was played. Also, many if not all their parents were there too supporting the Beebe family. We have always tried to create a family atmosphere in the Venice volleyball program and it was very evident Sunday night! These girls poured their heart into competing for VHS. These players and their families totally bought into our program and now it is awesome to see them take different paths in life. I want to thank them for all of the great memories

There are no Cinderellas

Throughout the course of the next 10 weeks, I will be updating on how our summer has been going. We will discuss our training as individuals and as a team. I will let our parents and fans get an inside look at what our players do in the summer time to prepare for the upcoming season. As we end this years club season and our players enter into one of the most important cycles of the year.
Summer is our time when we can really get a lot of individual reps to make our volleyball movements as crisp as possible. We will learn new plays, master the foundation of our training which is ball control and focus on playing above the net through our fantastic strength and conditioning program with Vern. It is also a time where next years leaders are made. Some players take that step into the unknown and learn how to be leaders of a team. We have an exciting team next year that will be athletic, determined, and has TONS of heart! There are no cinderellas in sports. Cinderellas are made in the off season and next years players and parents have bought into our system like no other.
