FAMILY, FANS, ALUMNI & FRIENDS: The Warrior Volleyball Team continues its hard work in preparation for the 2016 Fall Season. Since returning to campus in early January, the team has been lifting and conditioning five days a week, breaking down and improving our skills (see picture to the right!), we have met with a nutritionalist to make sure we our fueling our bodies the best way, and making time on Saturday mornings to give back to the Detroit PAL organization. The time has flown by, and we are about to start the very important Spring Season. We have some great competitions set up and some exciting events to come as well. We hope you can join us for many of these activities as we continue to build the Warrior Volleyball Nation!! Spring Season 2016 The Wayne State University volleyball program and head coach Tim Koth have announced the 2016 Spring Season Competition dates. “We are pleased to have two events on our own campus this spring that will be open to the public,” said Koth. “This time of year is always enjoyable as we have the opportunity to see just how much we have progressed over the last two months of training.” The Warriors will start spring practice on March 1st, and will open competition on Saturday, March 12th with a three school scrimmage in the Matthaei from 10am till approximately 3pm. The second competition date will be at Eastern Michigan University on Friday, March 25th at 1pm. This event will feature cooperative training and exhibition play between the Warriors and Eagles. The annual WSU Spring Tournament will take place on Saturday, April 2nd from 9am until around 4pm. This annual event will feature 9 universities and approximately 40 officials and lines people. In conjunction with the tournament WSU hosts an officials ratings and linesperson clinic on the day. The Warriors will wrap up Spring competition on Saturday April 9th at the Brownstown Sports Collegiate Event. Approximately a dozen or so universities will be in attendance at the event held in the Brownstown Sports Complex in Brownstown, MI. A schedule with start times for this event has not yet been released. Hope to see you out at these events!

The Warriors have been spending their Saturday mornings volunteering at the Detroit Police Athletic League (PAL) youth volleyball events. The team has been helping out in any capacity, whether it be officiating games, helping the girls with volleyball skils, or as in the pictures above with various projects. It has given the team a chance to act as a role model or mentor for inner city youth.
