I am still looking for a couple more volunteers to participate in a practice session at Sacred Heart in Halifax on February 14th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.  The practice sesssion is being conducted as part of the Level 2 Coaching Clinic being held at the school. The coaches attending the course need players to perform the drills assigned by the teaching staff. This is a great opportunity to be coached by various other coaches.

If you are interested please email me at u16girls@lakersvolleyball.org before Friday February 12th, 2010.
