On Jan. 15. at the Huron Valley Volleyball Club, 19 young ladies tried out for the WCC girl’s volleyball team. Volleyball is all about communication and working together as a team to get the ball to hit the opposing team’s ground court. Even through tryouts, communication and teamwork are essential parts of volleyball.

With the ball in her sight, Jordan Lynn Sweet gets ready to jump up and block the ball.

Reese Page tosses the ball in the air to let her get a running start to serve.
