This year’s preseason, the JV girls’ volleyball team, and along with Coach Tiffany Huang are determined to have successful preseason.

Last year, the Lady Moor had a preseason record of 3-2 and aim to go further this year. The Moors’ first game this preseason is against Flintridge Prep, and with all the extra drills Huang uses to help the team be prepared for the preseason, the Moors are ready.

This year, 13 freshmen and sophomores moved up onto the JV team from the ‘frosh’ team, all without the experience of the JV pace. Huang has extra practices to help the team gets used to her coaching style and the new difficulty level.

“They seem to be adapting well to me though we are still getting familiar with each other. One of the strategies this year is to focus on each skill at a time and piecing them all together, and by doing that we will be able to work together as a team […] Hoping [that] the team [will be more] comfortable with their own abilities [as we piece them together],” Huang said.

The teams practice mostly consists of passing, setting, serving, running, footwork and hitting. “Without passing, there is no play. The passer’s job is to get the ball to the setter without making her struggle so she can have a good set to the hitter so the hitter can score for the team,” sophomore libero Iris Zhou said.
