Director's Note
May 26, 2012
Our regular season has come to an end; thank you for your participation this season!
 
After challenging competition in April, we improved our play and finished strong in May. Many teams competed in GOLD playoffs, bringing home trophies. Thank you, moms and grandmothers who joined us in West Palm at the Mother's Day Tribute. 12B won GOLD in 13s, 14B and 15B both played up and finished second in GOLD and 16B won the 17/18 division!
Our final weekend ended in Orlando at the Florida Region Championships. Though our main focus is volleyball when traveling, we s
 nuck in some fun at the pool and fire pit during  our down time. On Sunday, 12B won GOLD, 13W won BRONZE and 16B won 17Open! Congratulations to all of our athletes and coaches for a wonderful season and continual improvements each week.
