        The Â鶹ÊÓƵeast Vipers Volleyball Club concluded their season with 18U nationals held in Calgary, AB, at the BMO Centre.
               Although some of our 18U team were unable to attend we still took a large team having pulled up some of the 15U girls to take part in the competition.
               Attending nationals were Hailey Bachorcik, Shelby Rose, Shoni Peepeetch, Jordan Johnston, Kayla Nelson, Katy McEwen, and Marcedes Singleton of the 18U team. They were joined by McKenna Harkness, Katelyn Hutt, Sadie Fichter, Hailee Fleck, and Ashleigh Wolensky of the 15U team.
               Together they took on competition including teams from Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the North West Territories from Sunday, May 17, to Tuesday, May 19.
               Though the girls fought hard and had some good battles they were unable to capitalize on their performance with nerves being a very real factor. Within the BMO centre they played in an area with 28 volleyball courts set up. The area was loud and intimidating, but the girls managed to have fun and take in the experience of such an event.
               It’s been a busy season and the club is now finished until this winter. The club would like to thank everyone who has supported them this season and is thankful for the dedication of players and parents to the year.
