Rally Together with Lindsey Berg

TODAY'S THE DAY!!!  Three time Olympian Lindsey Berg is taking over the North Country Region Instagram account, giving you the opportunity to ask her questions and interact with her personally!

Lindsey Berg began her volleyball journey in her home state of Hawaii, where she graduated from Punahou High School.  Following high school, she became a beloved Minnesota Gopher, setting a record for career assists during her tenure as the Gopher setter and being named to the All-Big Ten team for three consecutive years.  

After graduation, Lindsey played professionally for the Minnesota Chill in the short-lived United States Professional Volleyball League before competing in the Italian Serie A League for seven years and then finishing up her professional career with Fenerbahçe in Turkey. 

Lindsey joined the U.S. Women's National Team in January of 2003 and competed internationally for the U.S. for ten years, including winning two silver medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic games.  In 2011, she was named the USA Volleyball Indoor Female Athlete of the Year - a distinguished honor!

Today, you have the unique opportunity to interact with Lindsey - don't miss out!  Jump over to the North Country Region Volleyball Instagram story and send in your questions.  Lindsey is ready and eager to chat with YOU - how awesome is that?!

Rally Together with a Weekend Family Project!

It's Friday which means the weekend is here - yay!  This weekend how about spending some time on a fun family project - building a setter target that will provide hours of volleyball practice while we #StayHome.   I've heard a few great things about this particular target:  Relatively simple and inexpensive to build on your own Target basket is adjustable to different heights and angles Not too heavy to move and transport   Families who have used the below plans to create a target have tailored them to their specific needs - one following the plans exactly and one varying slightly the target shape and adding a net (see Hally's video above).  Both devices work well for their individual purposes.   The plans are even simple enough for players to help build themselves with a little supervision!   Shalyn building her own setter target! "Measure twice, cut once!" And here's the finished product in action...

Rally Together with a New Weekend Family Project!

TGIF!  Looking forward to the weekend, and no better way to spend the weekend than another fun family volleyball project!  Just like the last project we posted ( a Setter Target ), this rebound board will provide hours and hours of volleyball fun and valuable reps!  The plans for this particular rebound board were created by engineer by day/volleyball dad by night and weekend, Greg Samson, who graciously agreed to share them with all of us!  These plans include diagrams and detailed instruction, making them easy to follow, and the board itself is made to last.  This is definitely a volleyball project worth investing time and effort into building.   The rebound board can be used by one or more players as demonstrated in the videos below.  Using the board with the Setter Target is a great way to get setting reps off of a "live" ball - it's about as realistic as we can get right now!   A genuine "thank you" to Greg for not only creating th...
