Boys Volleyball Season Preview

By Sarah Kari, staff writer

If you were wondering what sport to watch this season, a top choice should be Boys Volleyball. Games this year should be extremely entertaining, considering their off-season training has consisted of gym-time for 3 hours every day.

Last year the boys didn\’t make it to CIF, but that doesn\’t mean this season will end the same way. In the previous season, the team lost 11 seniors. Coach Hanson says, “This season the team is just rebuilding from the loss of losing so many seniors.”

Coach Hanson has been coaching Boys Varsity for 11 years, and previously before that, Girls Varsity for 3 years. With 14 years of experience, he has a good reason to be confident this year—and it might also be because of their new training techniques of heavy emphasis on strength and conditioning. His main goal is for the boys to fight and get the superior title, CIF Champions.

To make this team strong, team captains have a big hand. This season we have Senior Captain Chris Van Vuuren and Senior Captain Karlo Cirson.

Captain Chris Van Vuuren previously played Volleyball in a club like other players on the team this year. If his name sounds familiar, it\’s probably because you heard his name throughout the soccer season.

“We have a young team. I am pretty sure if the seniors step up we could place in the upper half of the league,” said Senior Captain Chris Van Vuuren. According to Vuuren, the boys varsity team are the underdog team and will surprise others with their talent.

Some people to watch out for are Senior Captain Chris Van Vuuren, Senior Captain Karlo Cirson, Junior Tom Peters, Junior Johny Quan and Junior Brandon Courtney.

This year the boys are going to give many reasons for people to come watch. It is assured that not only their charming looks but also their surprise attacks will  will make you want to see more. Show your support at their first home game on Tuesday, March 9.
