Sand City Volleyball Club qualifies for Junior Nationals
SAND CITY, Calif. (KION-TV)-- The Sand City Volleyball Club girls 15's team earned a place in the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship in late June.
The team is ranked 12th in the Northern California Volleyball Association. This is the first time in SAND and Monterey County history an age 15 team has qualified for Nationals.
"It's a really exciting opportunity - I knew these girls were capable of making Nationals since I coached this team 2 years ago," Getting back to a high level of competition after Covid took longer than was ideal, but it's good to see them live up to their potential. We just need to put the work in now, and we can do something really awesome."
The SAND girls will be one of five Californian teams competing in the Freedom Division at Nationals.
The team rosters players who star on their local high school teams, including Indira Aguilar, Addy Cremers, Gina Da Silva, Dylan Domingos, Ava Edwards, Maya Giannini, Cadee Guzman, Aleasha Kalinski, Elizabeth McCuistion, Natalie Mendoza, Cindy Moreau and Grace Von Schack.
