TR wrapped up its season at the AAU National Championships in Orlando Florida with all 4 teams showing some of their best volleyball of the year. A few inconsistencies and some great competition kept us out of the top but it was clear to everyone there that TR kept its promise that everyone would have fun and get better! The level of improvement from tryouts until now is simply fantastic. Congrats to all on a great season in preparation for high school tryouts!
Plans for next year are already in the works with organizational meeting dates, tryout dates, and practice facilities for the entire season already done. In the coming weeks, we will announce the number of teams and the tentative coaching staff for next year. So many people are truly buying into the idea that you don’t need to play from December through July to have a great club experience and that it’s actually good for players to take some breaks and concentrate on conditioning the right way.
We are not perfect and we know that some changes need to be made to continuously improve. We are compiling feedback right now and comparing notes to make next year the best year ever for TR Volleyball. Some items already being addressed are; shortening the break in May and giving more optional opportunities during the down time, playing an additional tournament, ending the younger age groups a bit earlier, and renting UT for the whole season, not just March and April. Much more is being discussed and we welcome your constructive feedback at coachmattera@gmail.com
Thanks for a great year!
