It was an honor for the USAV HP Cham- pionships to have past U.S. Women’s National Team member Tracy Stalls not only coaching on the fl oor but also taking the time to speak with each player prior to the initiation of the tournament.

overall fi eld with the most international teams at the 2011 USA Volleyball High Performance Championships fi eld in Tucson, it’s been a great year that could be even better with the U.S. Boys’ Youth competing later this month in its World Championship.
