FROM THE BARNYARD TO THE COURT

Although you may not realize it horseback riding takes a great deal of athleticism.  To ride a horse requires balance and a tremendous amount of strength in your legs.  Courtney has benefited from her horseback riding experience to benefit her on the volleyball court.  She played 8th grade volleyball this past fall and as we enter into club season she was invited to move up and play with the 9th grade along with another girl. 

She has really developed a passion for volleyball as well and looks for opportunities to gain experience and improve.  Waverly-Shell Rock has an outstanding volleyball tradition and over the past 3 years is something like 100-10 with three state final appearances and one state championship.   Courtney has the desire to help continue to build on that tradition and is eager to play.

So one day she is preparing to jump a 3 foot fence with Al and the next she is rising above the net to spike the ball on an opponent.
