VHS summer volleyball 2011

Summer volleyball workouts start Monday. Myself and our coaching staff are looking forward to a fantastic summer. We have over 45 girls coming this summer which makes this one of the largest turnouts. Summer is a time when we really break down skills and work on technique, get stronger in the weight room, and have fun sharing these memories with our teammates. It's also a great time to establish habits that will help our teams be successful in the fall. Players get to know each other and it's where our leaders take ownership in building our program and taking it to new heights. Can't will not be in our vocabulary but I CAN will be. The only 2 things we can really control in life is attitude and effort. The only way to be successful on the court is to get out of your comfort zone and take some chances. By doing this, failure will will be short term but will produce long term success. Our great Venice volleyball tradition started many years ago with players putting forth the same work ethic that our current players will do so this season. Championships are won in the off season and one thing that our players will experience this summer is hearing from some former players about their Venice volleyball experience and how it has helped them so many years later in college, in their profession, as a wife and mother, and in their daily lives. It gives me great joy to hear from former players and to hear about their lives. We will see you on Monday and remember that you have a choice everyday to get worse, stay the same, or GET BETTER! It's great to be an Indian!
