Team’s all on campus
The team roster is complete with the freshmen photos in uniform. Usually the freshman join the team for summer workouts as soon as they complete their club seasons. The NCAA dictates how many practices you get before the first match and most days it’s 2-a-day. (And yes I’m too lazy today to look the exact number up.) With the first match on August 24th, it’s usually around the end of July everyone reports for real. My guess is the vets are getting the freshmen acclimated to Flyer Volleyball for the next week or so before everyone takes a week at home break before official 2018 practice begins. I’m most impressed the entire roster is returning. With an 18-player roster that’s 2-3 more than an average roster. It’s a strong testament to the school, the athletic department and volleyball program and most importantly to the players themselves. We are young and it will take some players stepping up big time to reach their potential, but we are as deep as I’ve ever seen at UD. All these women appear to be ready to get after it and compete for playing time. You have to love that attitude.
