Players’ Summer Plans Strike Into Action

5/5/2015

 
There was an informational meeting for all players wanting to participate in volleyball this upcoming fall, and there were 28 girls interested in being a part of the volleyball team. It is very important to Mrs. Hoener, varsity coach, that the girls focus and prepare for the fall season. She mentioned in the meeting that she would not tolerate whining during the summer workouts this year. It is true that the workouts begin usually around 5:30 or 6:00 a.m. Mrs. Hoener stated a quote in the meeting that she really enjoyed, “You’re here to get better, so shut up and do it.” Going along with working out to prepare for the season, it is also very important that the girls focus as well.

For volleyball players, summer is not a time to relax, but a time to work hard and prepare for the season ahead. This year’s summer agenda consists of numerous open gyms, the camp held at New Haven High School, and the Licking Camp that is held in Arnold.

Additionally, the juniors and seniors who are involved are asked to help out as much as possible with the younger players’  camps. Mrs. Hoener, stated, “I need help with the younger kids because there are a lot of them, and sometimes it just gets to be too much.”

Along with the camps that are offered to the players, there are also workout sessions. There have been many different workout choices in previous years. Last year there was Workout Warrior and weight training. Workout Warrior consists of many stations outside in the back of the high school. Workout Warrior was designed to condition the players. Weight training is more for building strength.

Many of the players have the view that the summer is an essential time to prepare for volleyball. Upcoming senior Maddie Fleer was asked what she was going to be involved in this summer. She answered with, “Everything I can!”

Erin Scheer and Maddie Fleer agreed that their least favorite summer volleyball activity was “for sure getting up at 5 or 5:30 for Workout Warrior,” while Emma Borcherding stated, “I like all of the summer volleyball activities.”

Summer is the time for some to relax, and others to prepare. It will be evident during the fall season which way the players decided to spend their summer.

As the school year is coming to an end, the summer will be starting soon. For most high school students, the summer is the time for long nights, hanging out with friends, and vacations. In many eyes, that would be the  typical summer of a teenager in high school. However, the incoming freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior girls who are involved in volleyball have a different agenda.
