MadFrog 12s Wins National Championship

Noelle's volleyball team, MadFrog 12s National Lew, went undefeated and won the USA Volleyball National Championship in Columbus, Ohio this past week. This is an amazing accomplishment. The USA Volleyball National Championships are the Super Bowl of the youth volleyball world. Only the very best teams from around the United States qualify for nationals. Noelle's team went in ranked #2 and played 4 great days of volleyball to come away with the national championship.
