Congratulations to our boy's teams that recently finished up
their winter club season. Congratulations to our Lions Boys 14's for
taking first place in their league and to All-stars Marko Kostich and
Robert Watkins along with Stacy Stevens who was named best coach in the
league. Good luck to all boys trying out for their high school teams.
Most teams will begin their travel season this month. We look forward to
great competition and team development. Good luck to our teams attending
the MEQ National qualifier this month!

Player of the Month
Sammie
Brown is the February player of the month. Sammie is an outside
hitter/setter on Lions 14-1's. Every Monday she attends
setters/rightsides/outsides and defense when it doesn't conflict with the
other positions. She comes early to set with setters, even though she
plays outside this year. She's a setter at heart, but is playing outside
for the benefit of her team. In addition to a strong attack, Sammie is a
very consistent passer. She leads by example but is also a vocal leader
on the court. She gives 100% and expects her teammates to do the same.

Coach of the Month
Mary
Passananti has been chosen as the coach of the month for February. Mary
started coaching for Lions Jrs. when the club was in its second year of
existence and her daughter, Jenna, now our setter coach was in third
grade. She has coached our fifth grade team, 11 Navy for MANY years. She
is known for her great enthusiasm for the game and dedication to the
young player. Many of our "studs" got their start on Mary's
team where she not only taught them how to play the game, but how to love
the game. In addition to Mary's time with her team, she volunteers as our
picture lady and helps our photographer Bob with all of the picture
taking, ordering and distribution of the team photos. If you see a large
stuffed Lion on a team bench with a faded sweater, look for Mary to be
close by. Thanks Mary and congratulations!

Ask
the Coach
Q: How
do officials determine which team serves first and which team has which
side? When is this determined?
A: The official calls for a team captain 10 minutes before the
match begins. The official chooses the captain from one team to call the
coin toss. If the player wins the toss, she/he chooses 'serve or side'.
If she/he chooses serve, that team serves first and gets the first 4
minutes on the court to warm up. The other team gets to choose the side
their team starts on.
