News and Notes

So our team is on spring break this week, which gives me a chance to catch up on everything that has been going on lately.  I'll have an update each day this week as we get into the main portion off-season once the team gets back next week.

Fist off, our assistant Kelsey Loop has taken the head coaching position at Northern Oklahoma College!  We are very excited for Kelsey as she begins her head coaching career.  She did a fantastic job this past season and we will miss her.  It's been interesting to go from recruiting with her at tournaments to seeing her in Houston this past weekend in different colors recruiting for another school.

Here is the link to Kelsey's announcement: Announcement

Changing gears a little bit, the first part of our off season has been going great.  We've been spending more time in the weight room and doing plyos in the gym, as well as more group and individual work.  I've seen a lot of improvement in our team and our freshmen are going to take a big leap next season.  The work in the weight room has definitely paid off, as all of our team is now more explosive (some adding over 100 pounds to their squat max) and quicker.  One of our players has added 6 inches to her approach jump since the start of last season!  This is phenomenal and will allow us to be a very offensive team next season.

I'll have more updates the rest of the week on recruiting for 2011 (hint: we're done and they are signed), our spring schedule, and what else is happening with our program.
