The Jonathan Law volleyball team has an exciting season ahead. 

The season starts on September 13 at home against Brookfield. The team is excited for the year to start and all have similar goals for what they want to accomplish for the season. 

“This year our goal is to play as a team, come in strong and fill in the vacancies our seniors left,” head coach Ms. Loch said. “Our goal is always to make it to the SCC and state tournament.” 

The team has work hard this offseason to accomplish the goals they want to achieve. 

“To prepare for this season, we had conditioning sessions throughout the summer to help us get in shape, and there is also a volleyball summer league based in Woodbridge to help us practice our skills before the season starts,” senior captain Sydney Simpson said. “There are also various clinics and club teams throughout the year that a lot of the girls on the team participated in.”

This year, the team is ready for a full schedule after playing a condensed season last year due to COVID-19. 

“I’m most excited to watch our team grow together and increasingly get better,” sophomore Caden Simpson said. “I think we can have a good season this year if we put enough effort in. I am also excited to play with everyone again.” 

One exciting addition this season is that spectators will be allowed at home games.

“Last year, we didn’t get to have spectators and this year we are also able to have a full season and play more teams in the SCC,” Loch said. “Last year we played a certain set of teams in our area and only had 12 games.” 

Team members also have individual goals they have set for themselves. 

“My personal goals are to improve my arm swing so I can get more power on my hits, and get my sets more accurate so the other hitters can get kills,” sophomore Ashley Borecki said.

Sophomore Kiley Sherman has similar goals and wants to improve on her serves. 

“I’m hoping I can get a kill and have a streak of five serves,” Sherman said.
