The Bolingbrook Raiders girls volleyball coaches and players will conduct a junior high volleyball clinic on Nov. 24 and Nov. 25 in the field house at Bolingbrook High School.

This is for all girls in grades 6-8. Each session runs from 6-8:30 p.m. The cost is $15. All checks should be made out to Bolingbrook Girls Volleyball. Please arrive at 5:15 on Nov. 24 for registration. For more information, email coach Andrea Bercot at bercota@vvsd.org.

Bolingbrook Raiders varsity girls volleyball coach Andrea Bercot will be the Master Coach and coach the 14U Spring Team for the Panthers Sports Club, according to the club's Web site.

I'm not sure what a Master Coach is exactly, but one would assume it's an important position for the PSC travel program. What is for certain is that Bercot, who began playing volleyball in the PSC in-house program, will get a chance to see some of the young talent in the Brook with the 14U team.

Getting her varsity players onto club teams at an early age was what Bercot stressed as her biggest goal for the Raiders program when The Brook Blog spoke to her during the varsity season. This is a positive development for both the Panthers and the Raiders.

In other PSC volleyball news, tryouts for the 12U club team will be held on Dec. 6 at Brooks Middle School following the in-house championships.
