Dolphins’ Sand & Green Volleyball Challenge slated for April – Volleyball news
The Jacksonville State University is scheduled to host a Sand & Green Volleyball Challenge tournament in the second week of April.
The volleyball action will take centre stage at the Dolphin Beach Volleyball Complex, which is a fully facilitated sports arena and has the capacity to hold great number of spectators.
The Sand & Green Volleyball Challenge tournament is solely aimed at raising funds for the JU Volleyball Programme and it will be kicked off on April 7.
This is the first fund raising event of Jacksonville State Volleyball in 2012 season. Michelle Collier, the head coach of the JU volleyball programme, is the main person behind the idea of organising this fund raising activity. Collier has a firm belief
that her team will make it to the top of A-Sun rankings and in the nation this year.
According to the team coach, the progress of the team most essentially depends on the annual giving and fundraising efforts.
In this connection, she stated, “The vision is to include facility enhancements, equipment upgrades and recruiting budget. I hope everyone can join us for a fun day of volleyball, sun, fun and sportsmanship in support of our talented young women.”
She also disclosed some goals for Dolphins in the running season.
The Jacksonville University will set up two grass courts and one sand court for the tournament. Teams of four to six players will be allowed to take part in the competition. Each team will be required to submit $100 entry fee. The successful teams of the
tournament will get cash prizes and JU volleyball apparel.
Collier seemed quite delight about the upcoming venture. She said, “We are super excited to kick-off our first fundraising effort in this new era for Jacksonville volleyball. One of my top priorities coming in to this program was to enhance our fundraising
efforts and therefore our involvement with the Jacksonville community.”
The volleyball enthusiasts are encouraged to come and enjoy the Florida sunshine at the weekend. The tournament is going to be a real entertainment as claimed by the local organisers. The registration for the Sand & Green tournament is open until April 4.
