Great weekend for 14-Premier,
Very happy with our results again. Started in Gold first tourney with our team on both weekends and were able to keep third place. Last weekend we started at 48 out 240+ and I'm very happy. We added Kelsey Phipps to the team, she is a great player and plus for our program. Great kids and parents on this team. Lauren is doing an excellent job, she has no problem with pulling one of our three setters off the court in tourneys and keeping them tuned, Lauren and I are very proud of the progress this team has made.
