August 24th, 2010 - Langley, BC
Just two days until the 2010-2011 TWU Spartan Men's Volleyball Team takes the court for the first time and the excitement level could not be higher. The Spartans take to preparing for the upcoming season a couple weeks earlier than usual as the August 28th departure for Russia looms. From August 28th to September 12th the Spartans will be roaming the Russian country in a tour that partners the volleyball team from Trinity Western with Athletes In Action.
This will be the first overseas tour for the Spartan program since the early 90's when a team went to Africa. It is the hope that TWU will send their Men's Volleyball team on overseas missions slash volleyball tours once every five years so that every athlete who dons the blue and white will get the experience of playing abroad. It is a unique experience for the Spartan athletes as they will get the opportunity to blend sport and ministry in a very real way.
The tour will take the Spartans to Sochi, site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Krasnodar and Moscow. All in all it will be a busy couple weeks with twelve games on the schedule amidst other various ministry opportunites that include working with churches, running clinics and visiting prisons.
To prepare for this tour the Spartans will take to the court for a quick three day preparation period starting August 26th at the Langley Events Centre in Langley.
Exciting days for the Spartan Men's Volleyball program. Great things are in store in the next few weeks...something great is about to happen!
Go Spartans!!!
Go spartans.... !!!
