Great Lakes Region
The USA Volleyball Great Lakes Region has introduced two new player acknowledgement programs. The programs are the Windy City Power League All-Region Selections and the Windy City Power League All-Academic Team.
The USA Volleyball Great Lakes Region is proud to announce that 174 female athletes, participating in six age groups and four divi- sions per age group, have been recognized for their outstanding performance during the 2012 USA Volleyball Great Lakes Region Windy City Power League.
The all-region players were selected by
WCPL Great Lakes Region coaches and the Great Lakes Region staff. Selection criteria included overall impact during each game and match, sportsmanship, leadership and a pas- sion to compete. The USA Volleyball Great Lakes Region is proud to announce 67 high school girls met the All-Academic requirements. Further, 25 girls proved to have a perfect cumulative GPA or higher. The all-academic athletes are recog-
nized for their outstanding academic perfor- mance based on a 3.5 on a 4.0 grade scale and 4.5 on a 5.0 grade scale. Athletes named to the Windy City Power
League All-Region Team and those who earned All-Academic honors have been recognized on the USA Volleyball Great Lakes Region website, received a cover letter from the region, received a certificate of acknowl- edgement and took part in group photos. Each Club then received a cover letter, a certificate listing all athletes and a group photo where their athletes were recognized
North Country Region
North Country Region (NCR) reaches out to the community every year by promoting three charity/benefit tournaments to help raise money for a worthy cause, charity or organi- zation. NCR has implemented an application form for tournament hosts to fill out in order to be considered as one of the three benefit tournaments for that season.
The application requires the host to list who the beneficiary is and what they will be receiv- ing from the event. This year NCR is proud to have sponsored two wonderful benefit orga- nizations: University of Minnesota’s Habitat for Humanity and the Andrew & Abby Szott
Foundation.
The Habitat for Humanity of Minne- sota “advocates and advances the work of Minnesota’s Habitat for Humanity affiliates who build simple, decent, affordable housing in partnership with people in need.” This ben- efit tournament has been running for six years and is the largest mud volleyball tournament in Minnesota! This past season’s event had seven courts, 340 par- ticipants, a DJ to keep everyone entertained,
sponsor booths and lots of MUD!! This year the tournament raised $6,000 and was the best year for fundraising yet! The Andrew & Abby Szott Foundation was created by David and Kathryn Szott, who lost both of their children to life threatening cancer. The foundation was created to give the Gift of Time to parents with terminally ill children. The Gift of Time is granting money to families so they may stay at home to make memories and take care of their terminally ill children while still being able to pay their bills. It gives parents the ability to take care of their young children and properly say goodbye without worrying about providing for the fam- ily and paying their bills.
