The Team

Culver's Volleyball is newly formed team that shows a tremendous amount of promise. Three of these 4 guys have played together before, and they are anxious to get this new season started. This 4 on 4 league is extremely competitve, but these guys are up for the challenge.

Here's the roster:

Shannon "Come Out Smelling Like A" Rose has been working hard to overcome having such a girlie name.....and I believe he has done it.....almost. This boy is on the floor more than he is upright. He lives to return the unreturnable, dig the undiggable, and he has the strawberries and bruises to prove it. Gotta love this guy's determination.

Chris "The Shepherd" Gerardot is the eldest on the team; in fact, he's the "elder". Chris has been taking notes watching his 2 daughters play in their high school matches. Let's hope he's picked up a thing or two. Actually, this guy has been the posterboy for consistancy (or should I say "pastorboy"?).

The rookie is the next on our list, Ryan Page. This Page is unwritten, never having played organized volleyball, but he has been recruited with high expectations. He has been on the Disabled List, but the team doctor has given him clearance to play. Ryan will be the rookie setter for the other 3 veterans.

Last but not least, Kyle Zimmerman. Zimmy loves how this team looks, and he will the acting head coach. He had his ups and down in the beach league, but he has been chomping at the bit to get into the gym. We'll see what he can do indoors.

The season starts on Halloween, so I guess we'll see you there!
