Free Volleyballs: The Junior Volleyball Directors Association (JVDA) donated all of the volleyballs from their national championship tournament to the KVCA. Their only wish is that we distribute them to high schools or middle schools that are starting volleyball teams.
There are about 50 regular-weight balls and about 12 volley-lite balls for elementary school level teams. If you know of anyone starting up a high school, middle school or elementary school team simply have them e-mail Mitzy (mitzmsu@aol.com) and we will find away to get them the balls.
If you have not turned in your membership form for 2008, download the form from KVCA Forms/Ballots on the left and get signed up today! Encourage others in your region to sign up as well!
Hope try outs are going well for all of you! Looking forward to another exciting season of high school volleyball in Kentucky! Please e-mail me with any questions or comments, mitzmsu@aol.com.
Respectfully,
Mitzy Donhoff
