Many clubs that fly under the radar in the USAV world were there, getting ready to prove that it’s not all about the larger clubs. This tournament was free with more of a friendly feel than a competitive vibe. Teams were in uniforms but very difficult to find out who’s who. After reaching out to teams and programs, special thanks go to Pipeline VBC for reaching back to me!
Here is a list of programs and that made memories on an early December Saturday.
Pipeline 17-1
Their National team finished the pool 5-1, a nice performance day. Pipeline Girls Director Stephanie Holthus had nothing but praise for her up and coming 17’s team. “We added a few key components to our 17-1 team this season and we’re very excited about their potential, ” said Holthus. “It’s a group of kids who are fully committed to their volleyball careers, their team, and our program”.
Holthus continues; “It’s a very fun group to coach and we are looking forward to watching them compete this season!”
pipeline 15-1
The team went 8-0 in the 15s pool on the day. Another team with a solid attack and a defensive core to be proud of. I want to watch this team improve and grow!
New Wave Tsunami 15
You stumble onto a court early in the day and you don’t always know what you will see. This team from Darian, New Wave Tsunami 15, rocked their pool going 6-0 on the day. their serving was effective and solid. The setting was a consistent source for the attack to use. Their middles hit well as you can tell, their outside hitters are playing well and will improve over the year.
