Overview 2006:
Last season we did a great job of moving our Tiger Volleyball program to the door of the competition. I believe we made a statement that we are a team to be not taken lightly. The games we won against Central Kitsap, Olympia, Gig Harbor and competitive games against South Kitsap and others showed our improvement from the past seasons.
We are only two points from qualifying for districts, which again showed how far we have come in the past few years. Last season, we were a senior dominated program, many of the teams in our league think that we lost all of our players and talent. When I hear this I just smile, I know differently. I look at the core group of players coming back from the varsity and a few from the JV group and know we have a stronger group than those players we lost.
When I look over the video and reflect back to last season, I know we improved as a program, but I can see room for great improvement. I am very encouraged by how many of you played club this past year.
This past season was a transition year, a lot of things we did will not be a part of this coming season. Last season we kept two extra players on the varsity team which we will not do this season. This coming season I will be shortening up the rotation keeping us as competitive as possible. If you are not a starter and want to play you will have to show me you are better at a certain role or skill set to gain playing time in critical games or matches. Another way to make the floor or to stay on the floor will be through being in the best condition.
Our goal from this day forward is to become the best team we can, to win or compete in every single game/match this year. We will work very hard this summer on conditioning. I expect that a lot of our matches will be going 4-5 games. The Bellarmine’s, Wilson’s, and Central Kitsap’s better be prepared for our team who will be doing everything possible to win every precious point!
