Volleyball season is coming up shortly and a good way to be ready is by start coming to open-gym sessions. The open-gym workouts will improve your skills and get you ready for our upcoming season.

            The workouts are now Monday through Friday from 4:00 to 5:30pm. “Our workouts are fun and they really get us moving and they really help me with my volleyball skills.” Said Philencia Yazzie. They start their workouts by jogging a mile, and then they work on their spikes and passing. The volleyball girls then play a volleyball game and when practice is over they do 50 pushups and 120 crunches. If girls want to try volleyball all they need to do is just go to open gym now. Since the end of the school year is coming up we are going be practicing this week (5-21-12 to 5-25-12) and next week (5-28-12 to 6-1-12).

The team is planning on going on 3 camps this summer. One camp is in Alamosa, Colorado, and one is in Albuquerque New Mexico. The total amount for the camp in Alamosa is around $3,540 that is including the room and their meals. The camp in Albuquerque is worth $3,300 including their room and meals. The camps they are going to will improve their skills and it will show this upcoming season.  To be able to go to these camps they must raise money for their hotels and meals. The girls are raising money by having enchilada sales, and hosting volleyball and basketball tournaments. The Durango camp is three days and the other camp is 2 days long. Both JV and Varsity are attending the Alamosa camp and only Varsity is going to the Albuquerque camp.

If you think you’re up to try volleyball this season you should start going to volleyball open gym and be ready for this season.  Get your physical and be ready to do some work this summer!
