The Dauphin Clippers varsity boys volleyball season is here.
The team will travel to Winnipeg to take part in the 16th Annual Linden Christian Invitational.
"We're really looking forward to just playing some games," said Taylor Schmidt, Head Coach. "I like to think we've had a pretty good pre-season so far. We haven't played but we've had some pretty productive practices to prepare for this."
After several rookies made up the team last season, this year's squad will be a much more experienced and confident group.
"We have a lot of returning players after last season," added Schmidt. "We're an experienced team with a lot of great athletes. We're pretty confident in our abilities heading into the season for sure."
The Clippers round-robin schedule will be a busy one. Starting at 2:40 tomorrow, the team will play four games before Saturday's playoffs.
"The grade 12 players are really chomping at the bit to get in there and get it going," said Schmidt. "Some of our rookies are a little nervous but also excited to see the speed of it. Everyone's going to see the floor here this weekend. We're going to grow as a team for sure, and it's a good chance to see what AAA volleyball looks like for everyone on our team."
The Clippers full schedule is as followed:
2:40 p.m. - vs Linden Christian.
4:20 p.m. - vs Shaftesbury.
6:50 p.m. - vs Louis Riel.
8:30 p.m. - vs Sanford.
Stay tuned all weekend long to see how the Clippers do.
