@VBAdrenaline @BvLynxVball Is there a media guide for this years event? Or a place to see schedules/scores?

[MadisonVolleyball @MadisonVolleyb1]

Congrats @Audreyynelson for being named Class A Miss Volleyball!

[Digital Z South Dakota @DigitalZSD]

Since there has been talk about a SoDak 32 in vball, here was our computer's final rankings for Class A.

Four SoDak 16 quality teams automatically couldn't make it that far due to having to play each other in the regional rounds.

Class B results will be in the comments.

Sports Parents, this is for you.

How you talk to your child matters.

Here are 10 Phrases that All Athletes Need to Hear...

1: “I LOVE WATCHING YOU PLAY"
This is a powerful statement to a child. There is no judgment or criticism. Ultimately, this is all you really need to say.

2: “I BELIEVE IN YOU”
Do you want to build confidence in your child? Tell them you believe in them. They need to hear this from adults.

3: "DO YOUR BEST"
We are all different. We all have different skill sets. All we can ever do is our best.

4: "BE GREAT AT WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT"
This encourages athletes to focus on their strengths. It helps kids define their role on the team.

5: "LOVE YOUR TEAMMATES"
The joy of team sports comes from the commitment to your teammates. Athletes need to care about their teammates.

6: "NEXT PLAY"
This is a move-on mindset. Don't dwell on a mistake and make another. Don’t celebrate after a great play so much that you lose your focus. This teaches athletes composure and poise.

7: "MAKE MEMORIES"
Live in the moment. A season goes fast. Your high school career goes fast. Appreciate the moments and cherish the memories.

8: “PASS THE MIRROR TEST"
Can you look in the mirror each night? And tell yourself that you did your best, left it on the field or court, were a good teammate, etc.

9: "LEAD BY EXAMPLE"
This is the first step to leadership. Be on time, and have a high character. Bring positive energy. Be one of the hardest workers. Be committed.

10: “LEAD OUT LOUD"
Lead by Example, then Lead Out Loud. Be a Vocal Leader. Be an Encourager. Be willing to hold teammates accountable.

[Ball is Psych @BallisPsych]

John Wooden used to tell his players that nobody should be able to tell whether they’d won or lost, just by looking at them.

He didn't want them getting caught up in the emotions of wins or losses.

Tough players handle wins as gracefully as they weather the storms of adversity.
