News Story
With a rough start to the Eastview Volleyball season they found some of their strengths as a team. With everyone working together they have been very successful at changing the wrongs to rights.
"One of our strengths this year is our ability to adapt. With injuries with some of our starting players it has forced us to get out of our comfort zone and play positions that we wouldn't typically play and play them competitively." –EGAN
On the other hand, though they have many strengths as a team they also have weaknesses to their team.
“Keep working on plays and defense and we're set.” –ASHLEY
“I think belief in yourselves and the confidence you can compete with anyone. I love to watch individuals grow and gain confidence in their abilities.” –ROB
When all those things come together there are many people that like to come cheer on the Eastview Lightning Volleyball team, such as the parents.
“I feel the season is going well. I don't judge success by only wins and losses, although that is important. Another big part of success is how the players and the team is developing and growing. In thinking back over the season so far all players have shown tremendous improvement and the team is coming together more as a "team" and the play is showing that.” -ROB
With all this coming together the team is very successful. The team is on a role to a very fun and also successful season and they have a long ways ahead of them!
