CMVBC players participate in USA Volleyball High Performance tryouts
Several of our CMVBC players participated in the USA Volleyball High Performance Tryouts in April that were held at the HOA facility in Kansas City. Those attending were:
Melissa Hoerber
Michelle Hoerber
Jenny Martin
Ciera Strobel
Tess Wiley
Through the High Performance Tryouts (which includes approximately three hours of court time), athletes strive to be selected for a National-level Team or a USAV Camp in their age group. Athletes are evaluated and ranked based on the entire tryout population from across the country. A total of 2,860 girls attended the 30 U.S tryout sites offered this year. This included 698 in the Junior age group, 1381 in the Youth age group and 781 in the Select age group.
The selection process resulted in an opportunity for the CMVBC players to attend a 5-day USA Volleyball camp this summer from a list of locations. Jenny and Ciera were invited to attend a follow-up Youth Training camp from a list. Melissa and Tess were invited to attend an A2 Developmental camp from a list for the Select age group. The camp locations included Baltimore, Birmingham, and Colorado Springs. Each camp is five days and provides athletes the training and feedback necessary to move to the next level of performance.
Congratulations to all of these CMVBC players!

CMVBC 17-1 Blackout team Recognition
The CMVBC 17-1 Blackout team was commended below for their show of sportsmanship and overall demeanor in the Springfield Lori Endicott tournament. Way to go ladies!
This past weekend, your 17-1 team came down and played in our Lori Endicott Holiday Volley tournament, and I wanted to write and tell you how awesome that group of girls is. They were some of the most gracious, polite, and sportsmanlike athletes I have ever encountered, in addition being incredibly gifted on the court. It is rare you see great teams like that now, and I wanted to make sure your girls know that their attitudes and skill do wonders for our sport. They definitely honor the game.
Thank you again, and I hope to see you guys again soon.
