The Lady Javelina Beach Volleyball team will be back in action hosting a tournament at 10 a.m., Friday, March 1, at the Javelina beach volleyball courts.
The fans will get an opportunity from the beginning of the season to get an up-close look at the 2019 Javelina beach volleyball team.
Coming off a National title from the previous season, fans have a lot to look forward to and expect from this team.
“We take our reining title very seriously and we are working hard for another one this year; the fans should expect to see more exciting games and with their support another national championship,” senior Madison Brabham said.
Brabham, who participates in both indoor and outdoor volleyball, is coming off a very memorable indoor season, earning honors of Lone Star Conference player of the year and First-team All-American for the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
“Madi had a phenomenal indoor season. With all her success, I’m confident she will be a very composed and mature beach player this season. I’m hoping her indoor offensive prowess will carry over into her final beach season,” Head Coach Tanya Allen said.
Assistant Coach Gary Payne said the beach team has more chemistry this year.
“I feel this season we have better chemistry this year than in the past, and we have girls that know the beach game a little better than we’ve had in previous years,” Payne said. “We’re starting to add and run different offensive sets over the normal, basic offense that most beach teams utilize. I feel we can set ourselves apart from some of the other teams we play with our offense being faster this year and with us adding new defensive sets to help us with our digs and blocking.”
Allen added, “We are working a lot to expand our offense this year, with faster and more varied sets, we are also hand-setting more frequently, that will give us more of a chance to win particularly against better competition.”
The coaches as well as the players agree that with the amazing support of Kingsville they will be right on track for another national title.
