Queen city gold trifecta!

Congrats go out to our LMVC 18 Elite Sue, LMVC 15 Elite Sue & LMVC 13 Elite Erin on earning 1ST PLACE GOLD at Queen City Classic in Charlotte this past weekend! Great job everyone!!

SPOTLIGHT SUPERSTARS!

Josey Sweat - LMVC 17 Elite Sean

From Josey's head coach, Sean Dillon,  "Josey Sweat is an incredible worker for us and is constantly being a leader for us through words and action.  As an undersized middle, Josey is constantly up against blocks that are 3-5 inches taller than her. In the face of this, her aggressiveness and confidence, along with incredible skill and unwavering trust in her teammates and coaches, Josey goes toe-to-toe with all of them. Thus far this season, she leads our team in kill % which is quite the accomplishment considering the hitters she's edging out on that list from our team. Josey is incredibly valuable to the success of this team and we are lucky to have her!

K2 ELITE
21 digs with only 3 errors!

Maci Watson - 12 National Brook

From Maci's head coach, Brook Wickersham, "Maci has stepped up during our first couple of tournaments - not only as a player on the court, but as a leader too! She is constantly helping our new girls both on and off the court by helping them understand the game and by providing a source of encouragement. She has found her voice as a player and as a leader this season; we are so proud of her!"

1st 3 tournaments
55 aces!

Ryan Griffeth - LMVC Boys

From Ryan's head coach, Joey Lehman, "We’ve seen such a passion for the game and tons of improvement in him already this season, he’s getting better every time he touches the ball! He’s hungry to keep learning and (at 13y/o) he’s already a key player on the team and one of our best passers. He is also a team favorite, he’s always staying positive and supporting his teammates on or off the court and they all love Ryan and love seeing him do well"

Origination of Volleyball (article #2)

Originally Volleyball came from humble beginnings. The game came into existence in 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts. William G. Morgan created the game which was originally called “Mintonettte”. The name was later changed to Volley Ball, and finally as we know it today, Volleyball. Morgan created a fun unique game for the businessmen who came to the YMCA. They wanted a game which was competitive, but less physical than basketball. The game was created by mixing a variety of elements from: Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, and Handball

THE ORIGINAL RULES OF VOLLEYBALL (1895)

The first rules, written in longhand by Mr. Morgan, contained the following basic features:

  • Court size was 25 x 50 feet

  • Height of the net was 6 feet, 6 inches

  • Any number of participants was allowed

  • Serves could be assisted across the net

  • A second serve was permitted (as in tennis) if the first was served out of bounds

  • There was no limit to the number of hits on each side of the court

  • Players could continuously “air dribble” the ball up to a restraining line 4 feet from the net

  • Any ball touching the net was considered out of bounds

  • Faults by the receiving team, balls landing in the receiving team’s court or hit out of bounds by the receiving team resulted in a point for the serving team

  • Faults by the serving team, balls landing in the serving team’s court or hit out of bounds by the serving team (except for first serves) resulted in “side- out” for the serving team

  • Length of the game was nine “innings,” with three serves per team per inning, for three or more players on a team. If one player on a team, then one serve per side; two players on a team were thus allowed two serves per side.

Volleyball began as a fun game for men at the YMCA in Holy Yoke, MA. Today volleyball is one of the leading sports for men and women at all levels. It has continued to grow and change into a highly competitive sport played at all levels.
