From long rallies to hard-fought points, the College of the Canyon’s volleyball team has been pushing through the season, focused on improvement, teamwork, and growth both on and off the court.
“I on purpose try and plan a pretty tough pre season every year so we can see what the best teams look like and and how we need to grow and how we need to where we need to put our efforts and grow individually as a team so come conference and then hopefully playoff time, we are…we’re battle tested and we’re reading to compete at the highest level,” said Clay Timmons, Head Coach for COC’s Women’s Volleyball Team.
After a challenging pre-season, the team has worked to refine its play, adjust positions, and build stronger communication, all with one goal in mind: progress.
“I think since the beginning of the season, everybody was really nervous going into it, but we did a really good job of growing together and working on our own individual goals, but also supporting every single person next to us while they worked on their goals too,” said Katelyn Nelson, a COC student athlete.
That shared motivation continues to push the team through their play, as they focus on consistency and building momentum to close out the season.
“That’s the ultimate goal is to get as many wins under our belt and share a little of the conference so we can go to the postseason,” said Timmons.
With only nine matches left, the College of the Canyon’s volleyball team continues to show what hard work and dedication look like on the court.
