Let's meet in the middle.
#PDMidwestNationalTuneUp had plenty of middle firepower in the 17/18 Open division, so our next positional feature is squaring up at the net. https://t.co/OPIhjTBLln
We're rolling out the positional features from #PDMidwestNationalTuneUp.

Championship Sunday at #PDMidwestNationalTuneUp!
This will be a sprint to the finish this morning. 17/18s semifinals on deck, with Iowa Premier and Iowa PowerPlex first into the fray on Court 2.

Back-to-back-to-back stoppages without a pitch being thrown, and then the pitcher hits a batter.
If you weren't overwhelmed by the combination of AU, MLV and LOVB, another professional volleyball league is launching this summer. The first matches for the American Volleyball League will be June 14 in Coralville, Iowa. Matches will also be played in Arlington, Texas; Green Bay, Wisconsin; and St. Louis, Missouri.
Based on the information on website and players signed, the level of competition should be a notch below LOVB and MLV.
π¨Hot off the press!
