Pools for March 13-14
The pools for this weekend are now posted (3/13, 3/14). We had teams withdraw in one age group. We moved 15 Black to 15 Regional at Phillips Hall on Saturday, March 13. We currently have some 3 team pools playing the best 3/5 sets in 12s (Twisters), 15 Regional (14 Red Transformers), and 17 Regional (16 Red). We are still holding out hope that somebody will still enter and fill those events. Please check the website often for updates and changes.
13 Red Lightening's Teamwork Prevails in Oxford (2/20/10)
After finishing second in silver at their first tournament, the Borderline 13 Red "Lightening" team continued its winning ways and dug deep on Saturday to overcome a one-game deficit in the Gold Bracket finals. [tournament report]
Bluegrass Pre-Qualifier Pools
From the organizer of the Bluegrass Pre-Qualifier: "The Bluegrass PreQualifier opening pools are posted on www.advancedeventsystems.com. All teams will come back for a second pool on Saturday. The rest of the schedule will be posted sometime late this week or early next week."
Practices
The practice schedule through March 11 is posted. We will be able to use Withrow Court on Thursday, March 11.
There will be no practices this weekend. All gyms are in use and Miami has basketball games at Millett. All teams will practice twice during the next week.
NKJV Aces Challenge Sites
Playing sites for the NKJV Aces Challenge (April 24-25) could be in Ohio (GE Park, Sports Express, etc.) or Northern Kentucky. We will pass along the information when the tournament's organizers announce the sites.
Oxford LaRosa's
We are happy to announce the renewal of our relationship with the Oxford LaRosa's restaurant. In the past, The LaRosa's in Oxford was generous enough to give our club 15% of every dine-in check that the guest mentioned Borderline Junior Volleyball. Unfortunately, the restaurant temporarily closed and we were without this sponsorship.
The new owner/managers are being very generous to our club. They have agreed to the previous arrangement, and will offer specials at our tournaments, plus provide our pizzas for the concession stands at our events. Please show your appreciation to LaRosa's this weekend by taking members of your team to the restaurant after our scrimmage. The front dining area is available for reservations of up to 30 people.
