14 Elite, 15 Elite, 16 Elite & 17 Elite-Joe closed out the regular season this weekend at the AAU Grand Prix at Wiregrass. Even more special was getting to celebrate Mother’s Day weekend alongside the moms who support, travel, cheer, sacrifice and do so much behind the scenes for these athletes every single season.

Thank you to all of our volleyball moms for everything you do. 💐💙🧡

🥈 17 Elite Joe led the way with a runner-up finish in Gold, battling and earning a spot in the championship match. A huge weekend for this group....next up AAU Nationals June 24-27

🏅14 Elite wrapped up their season on a high note by winning their Silver pool on Sunday. Proud of the growth, resilience and work this team showed throughout the year

15 Elite & 16 Elite both competed hard all weekend, fighting their way through bracket play before falling short of the finals. Another valuable weekend against strong competition. Now the focus shifts to AAU Nationals July 3-6 and July 7-10
