Quarantine Workouts

A word from the coach:

"This summer was different because we had to mostly practice outside. We had some days we used some beach volleyball courts in town and other days we used some grass courts in town. Most people don’t realize the difference between playing indoors and outdoors. Our athletes had to make adjustments because of the elements. The sun could be a problem some days, or the wind could be a problem other days. It helped us train our fundamentals better because they had more to adjust to outside."
