15U Vipers are back at it again with a great OVA tournament finish! Our girls won 4/5 games in two sets on Saturday, only falling to Brant Tornados Orange in the semi-finals. Earlier in the season when we faced this team in the semis we beat them in a close 3 sets, but unfortunately this time Brant came out on top and later went on to take gold. Coming off of the semis our girls played great in the BRONZE medal final, taking the win! 

We are very proud of this team for finishing in the top 4 in all four of their OVA tournaments this season, and landing in the top 3 in all but the first! They are really breaking through this season and we know they definitely have more to come! Seeing the potential in these girls is so exciting and we look forward to seeing them play in the provincials and in Pittsburgh at the end of the season! Go Vipers!

Today our 13U team had their best tournament of the season, and their volleyball careers! They started out strong beating both MVC 12U and Hamilton Smash 12U in the morning to get 1st in their pool. They were undefeated all the way to the semi-finals where they faced Niagara Rapids Summit, winning an exciting match with scores of 23-25, 25-20 and 16-14! The girls then went up against top ranked Halton Hurricanes Blue for the gold! Our girls didn't go down without a fight, taking the Hurricanes to 3 sets and hustling the entire game! A SILVER medal is such an exciting way for this team to end their OVA regular season! We are so proud of these girls and we know that they will continue to work hard at practice in preparation for the OVA Provincial Championships in April!

This past Saturday our 16U Vipers demonstrated teamwork and dedication, bringing home the BRONZE medal at the OVA McGregor Cup! We've always known that these girls had great potential so it very exciting to see them rewarded two weekends in a row!

The girls entered this tournament ranked 7th but that didn't stop them from defeating 6th ranked Waterloo Tigers Red in two straight sets in the morning, landing them 2nd place in their pool. The team then went on to defeat the Guelph Jr. Gryphons 15U Black team in the quarter finals with scores of 25-21 and 25-12. Unfortunately in the semis our girls fell short to a tough 2nd ranked Waves team, the team that later took gold. However, our girls were not done yet! They went up against 4th ranked MVC 15U and defeated them in 2 sets with scores of 25-20 and 25-22, securing the bronze medal!

This is also an exciting milestone for the Grimsby Volleyball Association as all 4 of our teams now have OVA medals for this season! Making the 2017/2018 season our most competitive season yet! We'd like to wish our 13U Vipers good luck in their final OVA tournament tomorrow as well! 

Go Vipers!

Our 14U girls fought hard at their exhibition tournament today bringing home the GOLD medal! We are so proud of this team's consistency and drive so far this season! 

Our 15U girls also had a great day at their OVA tournament! They went undefeated all morning, winning their first three games in two sets. Our girls played great, only dropping sets to a tough 14U Hurricanes Blue team in the semis with scores of 21-25, 25-17 and 12-15. Moving into the Bronze medal game the girls had a bit of a slow start against the 14U Niagara Rapids Summit but managed to come back from a score of 18-24 winning 27-25, keeping the parents and coaches on the edge of their seats! The girls then went on to finish the second set with a convincing score of 25-18 securing our BRONZE medal!

We are so proud of all of our girls! Congratulations to the parents, coaches and players! Way to go Vipers!
