Kaylee's volleyball clinic
A volleyball clinic for all ages was held as part of Kaylee Baker's senior project Saturday, Oct. 25 at Wood River Middle School. There were 30 girls ranging from ages 11-15.
Baker said, "In the morning we started off with stations of passing, setting, hitting and serving. After lunch we finished off with some games and the girls were presented with certificates of participation."
"The goal was to promote the sport of volleyball and spur the interest and gain better understanding of the game in younger players," said Baker, a senior co-captain for the state tournament-bound Wood River Wolverine varsity team.
Thirty girls ages 11-15 had some good coaching from Wood River High School volleyball players during Kaylee Baker’s volleyball clinic Saturday at the middle school in Hailey.
