Coaching Perspective


People go into coaching for a variety of reasons, including love of competition. And anyone who coaches knows that defeat is part of that landscape. 

Every loss is disappointing, Fewer bring discouragement. The effort pleased Coach Scott Celli, "proud of the compete and the willingness to hit even when down." 

Volleyball like most sports rewards intent and aggression. Deep playoff runs demand winning points, not just scoring points off opponent errors. 

Many Melrose sectional championships benefited from regular season losses. The 2004 season saw regular season defeats to Arlington Catholic, Central Catholic, and Reading. The 2004 team avenged both of the latter in the post-season en route to the Division 2 North sectional title.
