President's Day Classic
Wow. What a showing! Front Range showed themselves to be the strongest club in Omaha this past weekend by having nine teams finish in the top six teams of their respective fields and eight teams recording the highest finish for a Colorado team in their respective fields. To add an exclamation point, three teams came home with medals in our first national event of the season. Congratulations to 16 Red and 13 Scarlet for their silver medal finishes and extra special congratulations to 16 Blue for winning the tournament after not dropping a set!

FRVBC Backpack Orders
Due to the difficulty that we are experiencing with delivery of Mizuno backpacks to us, we must change the way in which you obtain them.
We ask that rather than order a backpack from us that you go to Sand Shark and purchase the backpack yourself. Once you have the backpack, bring it to us and we will have the FRVBC logo and your name (if desired) on the backpack.
We are sorry for the extra step but it will be the most efficient way of obtaining a new backpack. Thank you for your cooperation.
