The 15U Bongos volleyball team finished off the season placing 13th at Nationals.
Day one of competition included three matches in pool play. The team finished second in the pool of four.
After the second day of pool play they ended up in Tier 2 which meant they were in top 16.
“It was an incredible performance to finish 13 out of the 58 teams in attendance,” wrote Michelle Pfeifer (coach/manager). “Our team of 8 kids was competing against teams from BC and ON that practice nine hours a week and are kids who only play volleyball and go year round. Our kids worked their practices around soccer, Taekwondo, hockey, basketball, badminton, and baseball.
“The coaches and parents were so proud of these kids and their performance. They ended up the top team in Saskatchewan at Nationals.
“This experience will be one the kids won’t forget.”
The Bongos would like to thank Source Embroidery for making new hoodies for the team and coaching staff.
“They were looking sharp with the Nationals logo above their names,” wrote Pfeifer, adding “thanks again to the Painted Hand CDC grant that allowed us to be a part of nationals.”
