This is shaping up to be the Knights most fun and exciting
volleyball season yet! We have four teams in place including a
6th/7th grade girls “B” team, an 8th grade girls “A” team, and
also a High School JV and Varsity team. Coaches Dannielle Dodd
and Lindsey Goff are busy preparing for a winning season, and we
can't wait to see it start! Our season schedules are now posted,
and we hope you'll make plans to join us to see the Knights in
action.
The girls had a great week of volleyball camp which included
lots of fun activities including a trip to the mall to “Build A
Bear” mascot for the teams (see photos in gallery). Camp proved
to be a great time of bonding and team building, and we are
thankful for our hardworking committee members, Jana Biesecker,
Ruth Morgan, Dawn Hereth and Kathy Tenenbaum for creating such a
fun and memorable experience for the girls.
On July 25, there will be a Family Fun Night season kick-off at
The King's Academy gym for all Knights volleyball players and
their families. We'll practice setting up the gym, handling
gates & concessions, learn game basics, referee signals, and
lots more. There will be a pot-luck dinner, music, parent/player
volleyball games, spirit items for sale, a raffle for an MP3
player, and a ton of fun! This will be an evening our volleyball
families won't want to miss.
Following Family Fun Night will be another spectacular event for
Crown volleyball. This year's Knights' Summer Bash promises to
be bigger and better than ever! The tournament will be held on
Saturday, August 2, and our new and exciting location will be
announced soon! At least 8 teams from Georgia and Alabama are
signed up to play, and if you would be interested in joining the
fun, contact us at
crownvolleyball@yahoo.com. Just wait til you see all we have
planned for this great day of volleyball action - concessions,
music, prizes, spirit items, Bash t-shirts and more! Everyone is
welcome! We hope you'll make plans to join us for what is
becoming a much-anticipated annual event.
