Our girls wrapped up their regular seasons with a strong showing at their bid events! After we had all three of our girls 18s teams go to Anaheim for Nationals last weekend we had ELEVEN more teams earn their bids at their respective tournaments. With 16 Royal having earned their Open bid earlier at the NEQ, that gives us FIFTEEN of our girls teams with bids to USAV Nationals. Congratulations to the following teams on earning bids:

Now that the bid event is over and the boys high school season is wrapping up we have some time to get outside and enjoy the outdoor game. Our grade school kids have been busy at their Grass OEP events and our high school girls have been getting after it in their Sand OEP events. Each of our OEP seasons will end with tournaments at the end of May and we can't wait to see what our kids have to offer on a different court! 

Finally, congratulations to Coach Jeff Gabbert on recently earning his 700th win as a high school coach! Coach Gabbert is one of the founders of High Performance and is currently the head coach of the Boys 16 Royal team. After many years at Vianney High School, Coach Gabbert reached this milestone after beating Edwardsville at home on Monday night. Thank you, Coach Gabbert, for all that you have put into St. Louis volleyball!
