AGAINST ALL ODDS: Junior Varsity Volleyball

Junior Varsity Volleyball

By Ishaan Sekhon


Country Day junior varsity volleyball coach Aleitha Burns was thrilled to see girls with knowledge and talent practicing volleyball on the first practice on April 13th.

“There were six girls who were rallying; they could pass, they could set. I knew we had girls who could play,” Burns said.

Practices are hard because the teamcan use only half of the gym. The other half is currently being used as a high school study hall.

But their half of the gym only has a single sport at a time.

“Just having one sport also has made it a little easier,” Burns said. “Right now, it’s just volleyball. Jason Kreps, who coaches varsity, and myself are able to alternate every other day’s practices.”
