June 7, 2008 - With temperatures
soaring to 30 degrees, 16U female players from across Region 6 met at
St. Patrick's High School on Saturday, June 7 to compete for an
opportunity to participate in the OVA Regional Team Training
Centre (RTTC) and the 2008 Ontario Summer Games (OSG).
The RTTC will be held at Humber College in Etobicoke from July 21-24
and the volleyball competition of the OSG will be held at the
University of Ottawa from August 14-16.
CAPS head coach Cathy O'Doherty ran the tryout while several coaches from clubs
across Region 6 evaluated the athletes. Coach O'Doherty's drills
required the girls to demonstrate key volleyball skills including
serving, serve/receive, setting, passing, hitting and game-play over
the course of three hours. The CAPS' own Matt Harris
and Mavericks coach Kerry MacLean have been named head coaches for the
two teams from Region 6.
Competition was tough and the successful
athletes were selected following the tryout. Congratulations to
the following 16U CAPS who will train and play under Coach Harris'
direction:
Best of luck to all our CAPS players and
their teammates from Region 6! We look forward to watching an
exciting competition in August.
