Club season is officially over today and I just want to say how impressed I am with our sport. I watched some elite volleyball this year and it didn't disappoint. Refs were elite, coaching was elite, and most of all effort from the players was elite. Volley is on the RISE!!

Who else is heading to the VNL finals in Arlington on Sunday!? This is MUST WATCH TV for volley folks. MUST ATTEND volley for anyone in a 4 hour radius!

Young players: Watch as much volley as you can, but maybe more importantly, GO to as much volley as you can. The communication is ELITE and you just can't get that on a normal broadcast. This VNL Bronze match is a perfect example.

You also don't get the little kids yelling, "I LOVE YOU JT!!" As Jordan Thompson goes back to serve on the broadcast. So cute 🥺🥺🥺 We love you too, JT 💞

It's amazing how good the play is in this tournament ALREADY! 1st round and games are competitive and high level as can be. That being said, USA athletes at this level have a serious timing problem. Quit teaching kids to go fast too early!

Day 20 of no volley: Here's some Melissa highlights to help hold us over until recruiting season starts in February. youtube.com/watch?v=l71R-d…

We should be CELEBRATING the new rule change! The cons are you don't get penalized for setting an unclean ball. BUT 1) Not every unclean set was a double in the first place AND 2) The more unclean the set, the less precise the location.

Now, the "punishment" for an unclean set is that you likely didn't put up a very good ball. So players at all levels are still incentivized to set a good, clean ball.

The pros are HUGE: 1) it makes the game easier to ref. We don't have to worry about refs with different standards for what a double is anymore 2) it makes the game easier to understand as a fan. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY.... (next tweet)

As our sport continues to get more popular, we want to showcase how exciting it really is! Getting rid of the double call just means you're more likely to see a great kill or block or a long rally. Love the new rule change.
