Reno Day 5

Day 5 at Reno was an off day from volleyball for the girls. Some of them went to the mall, some of them just hung out with parents, and some of them were invited to Incline Village on Lake Tahoe. There, they got to go out on the lake in a power boat and tried their luck at wake boarding. They had a barbecue and just chilled until their return time back at the dorms.

Trunk going up for the KILL!!!

Like I mentioned earlier in the week, this is a huge undertaking to put this tournament on. The support services are all in place and they are ready for about any situation that may arise. Here is ice and water ready to be taken to the different courts.

This is where the kids that need to be iced down or need to be taped up are seen.

Here they have rolls and rolls of tape and other minor medical supplies.Here is a player stretching a hamstring.

Here is the toughest job at the tournament, coach putting together the line up and motivating the players to stay focused.
