41 Days

The Melrose volleyball program recently completed week one of the summer volleyball camp. 65 campers from 1st through entering 9th grade, including some from outside Melrose participated.

The 2012 schedule is also out, with ten returning players and seven returning seniors, including a pair of All-Staters in Brooke Bell and Sarah McGowan.

The first block (10 games has some very attractive matches including always tough Reading, improving Burlington and Stoneham, D2N finalist Bishop Fenwick, and powerhouse Brockton.

The next cluster includes the Westborough Rangers who defeated Melrose in five sets last season and always tough Central, with whom Melrose has developed a great and mutually respectful rivalry.

Melrose finishes with improving Stoneham led by Sam Trant and Newton North for Senior Night. Melrose has had a long scrimmage rivalry with the Lady Tigers who bring a Division 1 team with multiple possible college scholarship players. Notice the possible later starting times for some of the key games which should allow for even better attendance.

Lady Raider News:Sarah McGowan appears on this week's "Let's Talk Sports".  And a trio of Lady Raiders, McGowan, Bell, and Jen Cain participate in this weekend's Bay State Games in Foxboro.
