OPEN GYMS:
What: Several open gyms will be available to practice volleyball skills during the summer. A middle school coach will be present at each open gym. It is not mandatory to attend, but it may be beneficial to attend as many as possible.

NST:
The JHS volleyball coaches have invited our middle school players to attend the NST sessions if they are interested.
The NST program is designed for high school teams to complete conditioning exercises. While the middle school players are invited to attend, the middle school coaches aren't involved in this program in any way.
We understand that this is a bigger time and monetary commitment than many middle school players are ready to make. However, the program will certainly be beneficial to any girls who are interested!

Please email either coach with questions or concerns:
7th Grade - Coach Allie Kracker - ajk2jc@jackson.sparcc.org

Tournament Results: Columbus Regionals
**I'm so sorry that this is so late being posted! I had mistakenly saved it as a draft instead of posting it following Regionals!
JVBC ended its season playing in the Regional tournament in Columbus. The girls had a great day and a great season!
We started out the day being ranked 16 out of 16 in our bracket; we knew that this would be tough to compete in!
Our first match in pool play was against Mountain Rage: Raging Thunder. This team was very good and our girls still needed to wake up a bit! They played fairly well against a good team but lost in 2 games.
We then played Toledo VBC. This team was also very good and we played great against them! We had the fewest missed serves in a match of the entire season this match! We only missed 3 (and they weren't all the first serve)! We still lost in 2 but were close: 17-25 and 23-25.
Our third match of pool play was against Matchpoint DC. We came out strong and lost the first game 23-25. Matchpoint was playing well and we lost a bit of steam in the 2nd game causing us to also lose the match.
Our pool play record put us in the Chromium bracket for tournament play. In our break from playing, we saw our former player Amanda (from our 2nd team ever!)! It was so nice to see her! We were also able to watch other Jackson girls Naudia (Impact) and Emily (Club Extreme) play for a bit.
We started tournament play by facing Buckeye. We were a bit concerned over how our team would play with an hours long break between matches. We needn't be concerned; the girls came out strong! They looked great and played one of our best matches of the season! We won 25-18 and 25-12!
This put us in the Chromium semi-finals and we faced our "neighbor", Elite and got to play against our friends Sophia and Alana again! We had lost a close match with this team at the Elite tournament and our girls went out to win this one! These two teams are very evenly matched and it showed during play! JVBC put the heat on in the first game, winning 25-13. The second game Elite came on strong and pulled out the win 22-25. Both teams looked to be getting tired in the third game and it could have gone either way! Luckily for us, JVBC came out on top, winning 15-12.
This win put us in the Chromium championship match! We played Elite (a different Elite). It was very evident by this point that both teams were tired from a long day but both groups of girls played hard! We had another great match of serving, only missing 5 in 3 games! We won the first game 25-23 and then almost won the second game, barely losing 24-26. The third game was back and forth almost the whole time! Our girls played hard and won 15-13!
We won the Chromium bracket and received gold medals! This is only the second time in JVBC history that we've come away with a gold medal and this is the highest bracket we'd ever done that in! This team had a great season and we are so proud of them (and can't wait to see them in 7th grade in the fall!). Congratulations girls!
