Marist To Host Team Selection Camp July 10-12
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – Marist volleyball head coach Tom Hanna was named the head coach of the Garden Empire Volleyball Association’s (GEVA) Youth High Performance Team for the 2009 USA Volleyball High Performance Championships on Tuesday. The team will be comprised of players from New Jersey and parts of New York and Connecticut. Marist will host the GEVA team selection camp from July 10-12.
“I’m excited to be named the head coach of the GEVA Youth High Performance Team for 2009,” said Hanna. “The opportunity for Marist to host the selection camp this weekend is also exciting. I look forward to working with the young ladies in our region and representing GEVA well at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships in Ft. Lauderdale later this month.”
Eighty players across three age groups will participate in this weekend’s selection camp. A final roster for the youth and select teams will come out of this camp and the teams will train the following weekend before leaving for Ft. Lauderdale on July 21. The youth team, composed of players ages 16 and 17, will compete in the Girls’ National Youth Division against 13 other teams from USA Volleyball regions across the country from July 22-26.
“Hosting camp and my coaching with the High Performance program should be a win-win situation for both GEVA and Marist,” said Hanna. “Marist College will continue to be part of the promotion and success of the sport in our region.”
