The junior varsity volleyball team has been receiving a crash course in instruction from first-year coach Madeleine Grimes and veteran coach Jen James. From overhand serves, bumps, and sets, to positional rotations, communication, and teamwork, these athletes have learned it all. Only in its second year of existence, the team is preparing for its first interscholastic match later this season. Team veterans Christine Deng, Nihka Linhart, and Eyan Morales have been setting a positive example on the court and have greatly improved their skills. This trio will be counted on to make an impact during the team’s first match. Fellow seventh grader Lucie Mora has also established her presence on the court and will look to battle for a varsity spot next year. Collectively, the team has worked hard and is ready to put their skills to the test.
