So You Want to Contribute to MVB 25


Getting a role for MVB means doing it the 'old-fashioned' way, earn it. This is no pity play. 

MVB gets younger. Nine seniors graduate MVB '24, many with big roles, Leah Fowke an elite setter, Carol Higonenq with a six-position role, Sofia Papatsoris an impact middle, and the core back row of Maggie Turner, Gg Albuja, and Alex Homan. 

That doesn't mean that the cupboard is bare. It means opportunity for court time, role, and recognition. 

How do you earn spots? 
  • Want greatness. Nothing great happens without enthusiasm. 
  • Do the unrequired work. "The magic is in the work." 
  • Excel at a specialty, like serving. 
  • Become an impact blocker. Blocking is defense and offense. 
  • Become the next dominant outside hitter. 
  • Grow your athleticism. Every great MVB player is an exceptional athlete.
  • Expand your game knowledge. Watch college volleyball and review film of your volleyball action. 
  • Study video of great players. YouTube is a great resource. 
  • Train resilience, your mental toughness. Learn mindfulness
Lagniappe. Great servers have consistent tosses.
