Hi, My name is Shelbi and iI play for SLCC volleyball. So far the season with the team has been unforgettable! Just this last weekend we finished up with our pre-season ball, which was basically just tournaments. It was a good chance for us to see what we are going to be up against in our Conference play. This weekend we are playing CEU and Colorado Northwestern both of the games are away so we will be on the road cruisin' on a charter bus!
Anyway, i am so excited for the rest of the season and to see what it will bring us, and how we will all grow as one BIG happy family! :-)

We just arrived from Twin Falls, Idaho. The top 7 teams in the nation were there, so it was a very competitive tournament. All the teams lost and won games.. IT was a good experience for us.
On our drive back home, we discused as a team about our expectaions for this year. We always have fun rides driving places. Unless your in Coach Sue Dulany's car, cuz she will go use the bathroom and drop her car keys in the toilet. OOOPZZ guess you have to walk home :-)
We love our Team!
