SPOTLIGHT on TEAM CAPTAINS Shoutout to the “Volley Girls” 3.5 Development Team Aya Takeuchi and Regie Eberhart started a new 3.5 W Daytime team for players who are right on the cusp of 3.0 and 3.5, as well as those who aspire to eventually move up. "We noticed there weren’t enough match opportunities available for mid-to-high 3.0 players in daytime - most 3.5 teams were geared toward established players, while 2.5+ teams only offered one 3.0 line." "This team was never about winning as a team or making a run for Sectionals (at least not yet!). Instead, our goal has been for each player to achieve their own version of a “win” - whether that’s winning a match, boosting their dynamic rating, building strong partnerships, or simply gaining experience against tougher opponents and improving along the way." "We had an overwhelming response from on-the-cusp 3.0 players, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch their progress. Seeing players earn wins and their dynamic ratings climb has been the highlight of the season. At the start, we set a modest goal: try not to finish last. But we ended up just one game away from making the playoffs—far beyond what we imagined!" "Looking ahead, our goal is to keep this group together, continue improving, and grow as a team. Sectionals might not have been the plan this year… but give us 2–3 years—we’re coming for it!"
