Communication has been a big focus of discussion in the early going for Pella Christian’s volleyball team. The ability to talk with your teammates and be loud enough to tell them where the ball is, what to do with it, where you are, etc. are huge qualities that Coach Cindy Nikkel and her staff will be looking for this fall.

While communication is necessary, Coach Nikkel also wants to see her girls exude confidence and be aggressive when going after loose balls. Nikkel refers to the first few tournaments in Ames and Iowa City as good building blocks early in the season. She says she’d like to see her team fair better at those tourneys than they have in years past. First things first, the Eagles head to Marshalltown to begin the season this Monday.
