Middle School Volleyball Season Report from Coach Amanda Wilcoxon.
What an incredible volleyball season! Coaching this group of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders has been a true joy, and I am so proud of how far every single player has come.
Our 6th graders stepped onto the court ready to learn, took every skill they were taught, and successfully brought them into live games. While a few matches didn’t go our way, watching their confidence grow with every serve, pass, and rally was amazing.
Our 7th and 8th graders put together some fantastic games and impressive scoring runs throughout the season. Their growth and experience will make them a huge asset to their teams next year.
Looking ahead to next year, we are sad to see three wonderful 8th graders leave our program, but I wish them all the best as they move on to HS. With nine returning players coming together for our 8th grade team next year, we are in a great position with strong, skilled foundations to hit the ground running.
I’d like to send a huge thank you out to all the players for their hard work, and to the parents for their constant support, driving, and cheering from the stands. I love teaching and coaching this sport and sharing that passion with players and families who love it just as much makes coaching so rewarding!
