Adams will beplaying for Indiana UniversityKokomo and Sokeland for LewisUniversity. Both of the players receivedathletic and academic scholarships.These scholarships are not easy tocome by as they take a lot of outsidework and years of dedication. Adamsobsession with volleyball started at anearly age as far back as third grade. Iloved it so much I continued playing. Iplayed Pantera in 7th grade thenHoosierland 8th and my whole highschool career. Ive always been tall sowhen I was younger all my coachesthe road to collegiate athletics.always stuck me in middle, but then inhigh school Ive played every front rowposition, ending junior and senior yearwith middle and right side.Both players have had outsideexperience with club volleyball as well,playing on either Hoosierland or CircleCity teams. The seniors agreed thattheir success in their sport was becauseof the different skills they learned inclub and their high school seasons.Sokeland said that South volleyballtaught me how to rely on myteammates and how the sport reallydepends on communication. Adamsalso agreed and added MyHoosierland coach and team helped mea lot on my personal goals and gettingbetter for myself on the team.

There are now169 different countries involvedin the Continental Cupqualifying process for the 2016Olympics, compared to 143 forLondon after rules on clothingwere relaxed.I think its amazing that notonly the volleyball communitybut every sport community isopening up and accepting alldifferent cultures and notforcing them to hide it like theyhave in the past.JUNIOR SYDNEYCONGERI think its a great opportunityfor athletes.
