Athena's local league team had the chance to practice their defensive positioning in a friendly match against University of Leicester's 2nd team. Athena brought 10 players: Charlie, Alex, Ioana, Eve, Racheal, Evie, Sab, Priya, Maria and Nikki. The match gave a lot of players the chance to improve their confidence. Sab excelled through the middle as did Maria playing outside, both playing some of their best volleyball of the season. Rachel had the chance to grow into the role of setter as did Evie. Athena struggled to settle in the first set but began to ease into the match in the second, with much improved movement and positioning. By the third set, they had found their groove and won the set easily - despite battling the low sun glaring through the windows of the Danielle Brown Sports Centre. Coach Paul was really pleased with how the squad worked and put into praxtice the stuff they have been doing in training. A big thank you to University of Leicester for hosting us, it was much appreciated.
