PPP Volleyball Gets Underway

Pikes Peak Prep held their first home volleyball game for the season. An incredible number of spectators arrived to see the elementary and middle school matches. Both our teams were able to put together some great serving in order to win their matches against Colorado Springs Charter Academy. The little Eaglets (first – third grade cheerleaders) helped heighten the team spirit. PTO participated by selling pizza at this event.
John Kessel from United States Volleyball Association recently worked with both teams during a practice. From 1990 John has been working for the National Governing Body of the sport, USA Volleyball, and oversees grassroots development and disabled volleyball. In 1995, Volleyball Magazine named him as one of the 50 most important people in the sport of volleyball in the first 100 years. His main goal is to help make coaches more efficient, positive and creative, no matter what the level - 7 year olds in elementary school program or National team players and program. He challenged our coaches with creative ways thinking while having fun in the process. Our entire team and coaches enjoyed his visit.
