  1. Then college, or USAV, camps in July. More individual lessons mixed in with that. School tryouts in August followed by the start of the season. More individual lessons mixed in with that. School postseason takes you though September, October, and into November. Practices, lessons, and club open gyms mixed in as well. Tryouts coincide with the KHSAA tourney weekend. If you play open, you’re practicing in December plus conditioning in addition to practices and individual lessons. Then the club season starts. Volleyball season is year round for an open level player.
  2. Here is 1992--page 4. http://encompass.eku.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1379&context=athlete
  3. KVCA Coaches and Players of the Year posted on their site. http://affiliates.avca.org/Portals/3/2016%20KVCA%20Regional%20winners%20release.pdf
  4. I think you're looking at the wrong brackets. I'm pretty sure the 9th region winner faces the 6th region winner (more than likely Mercy) in the first round.
  5. SHA wins 3-2. Scores were 24-26, 25-21, 21-25, 25-20, 15-13
  6. I think it'll be a 3-0 game, but maybe not a convincing one. SH swept Mercy, but still had some fits with them, and I'm not sold in Mercy being all that good this year. If NDA can block, they can have a shot if they can get their offense going. Haven't seen Assumption play yet, but I'm going to go with them at the top until they prove otherwise. SH following them, but not too close--edge by far and away is coaching and depth, then everyone else trailing.
  7. Ok. This is third hand information, so if it is incorrect, I'm not claiming it. There actually was a scrimmage between Mercy and NDA the other night. Probably why no one is talking about it was most likely because neither team looked very good. Now all things are relative, and both teams would most likely roll most other teams, but neither will be at their previous levels. I was told they split sets, NDA obviously missed their departed players and Mercy seemed out of sync with each other. The general feeling was that Assumption will be the last man standing unless Sacred Heart can prevent it.
  8. I'm beginning to think that it didn't happen.
  9. Ok. I don't think the invite is used in Louisville, and true, you can pretty much know ahead of time who's going to be on what team. I think in Louisville the clubs do more fishing during the CSAA season. You do have to allow for the club migrations that occur. Does anybody know why people change clubs all the time?? No, on second thought, don't answer that.
  10. First: ....does anyone at all know how the scrimmage turned out??? Secondly, what are these mysterious "club invitations" that go out in July in NKY? I've had daughters playing club in Louisville for 15 years. Never heard of "invitations" ever, and certainly not in July. Everyone just showed up for tryouts after state--unless you were still playing the last couple of years, then you missed a day.
  11. I'll have to agree to disagree with you as well. Scott can credit their trips to state the last two (not three) years to regional realignment. Scott went in 2014 and 2015. Campbell went in 2012 and 2013. Before that it was the NewCath show until they got moved to the 9th. And noise??? Two years ago they beat two terrible teams in Raceland and Christian County, then were drilled by Mercy. Mercy had 15 aces in that match. Scott had 5 back in serve receive and still got aced. Last year they played a 12 loss North Oldham team in the first round and lost. Not much noise that I could hear and I was at all of those matches.
  12. So.....does anybody know how the scrimmage turned out? Scores?
  13. Parents complain from the little leagues to the big leagues. Sometimes it's justified--most often it's not and is related to the parents over-inflated opinion of their daughters ability. The problems occur when the administration doesn't have the coaches back--especially when the complaining is unwarranted. I've seen several coaches fired, or quit, because of weak AD's and principals. Schools afraid of not getting that big donation they've already spent in their minds--$$$. Parents going to their brother/sister/cousin on the school board because their daughter isn't playing enough or in the "right" position. Sometimes it's just a new, good coach who tried to actually "coach" and is seen as being "too hard" on the players. Sometimes the coach just gets tired of dealing with it no matter their experience level. While not privy to all of the insider details of NDA, I'd say that having a coach physically confronted at an end of season gathering might be the straw that broke the panda's back. Apparently the school overlooked the behavior until outside powers got involved and they had to act. Lanham quit not too long after that incident. Was she a good or bad coach? I don't know either way--same with McCourt. I just hope he has better support from the administration once the parents come gunning for him.
