It was sweet success for the U14 Air Attack Black at the National Volleyball Championships held at the Tradex in Abbotsford last weekend.
After a challenging first day, the Air Attack Black, featuring Joanne Chan, Jasmine Chang, Jocelyn Davis, Sydney Dowling, Madison Fleischer, Diana Merkulova, Jayden Parnell, Allie Roberts and Teya WijayaKoon used teamwork and their never give up attitude to come back strong. They worked hard and earned their way to the finals where they snatched gold from the hands of the Coquitlam Ducks Bob in two sets - 2522 and 25-23. It was an amazing way to end the season.
The girls were led by their awesome coach, John Parnell, and thank him for his leadership, support and his positive "doesn't matter if we win, I just want you to develop and have fun" attitude. They also give credit to Nav Badyal for stepping in to coach on Friday making their trip to Nationals possible.
There was a strong showing from all of the Richmond-based Air Attack teams competing last weekend. Congratulations on great performances by teammates on the U14 Girls Gold team and the U14 Boys Gold and Black teams. They played some amazing volleyball facing very tough competition.
Good luck to the U16 girls Air Attack Gold team who are heading to Nationals in Calgary this weekend.
