The JV girls’ volleyball players are trained with the goal of reaching varsity-level games set in their mind. This fall season marks the start of a journey as the Lady Moors begin playing their first games after nearly six months of off-season practice.

Thrown in the mix  is a new coach, Tiffany Huang, who is coaching high school volleyball for the first time and already pulling the team into a cohesive, competitive unit.

“We’ve been practicing passing and rotations since April. I can see that there have been many improvements in the team from these drills,” said setter Tracy Yoshimizu.

Months of hard work reach its peak now that the team enters the season. Now, the question of whether or not they practiced enough will be answered, as they approach the all-important Almont League games.

“If we work really hard we have a chance to make it, but if we don’t we can fail. We have some communication issues where we don’t talk enough on the court but we are training to fix that,” said Yoshimizu.

Along the way, coach Huang mentors the girls and supports them through every moment. Although this is her first year with the team, she shows dedication and heart.

“This season we are rebuilding the program and working on their skills and commitment,” said Huang.
