Tiger Volleyball Enters Fourth Year

It’s all about teamwork, according to coach Aaron Gibson.
With the program in its fourth year and with five seniors on the squad, the second year coach is hoping Bolivar can build on the small success of 2015, where they won their first playoff game.
To do it though, Gibson says they’ll need to focus on playing together.
“Volleyball is the most team oriented sport that I’ve ever seen.  It doesn’t matter how good our best player is, it all depends on how well the team plays together. If they don’t work as a unit, they are not going to be successful.”
The second thing Gibson says they need is a take-charge attitude.
“They need to want the ball, to develop desire and be willing to have an agressive spirit.”
Gibson is also dealing with a program that is young and players with very little experience.
“We have great talent, but some of the players have never played before.”
