Volleyball coach Jay Mooney believes he is fighting the good fight against sport specialization, which is limiting opportunity and athletic function in our youth. He wants his players to be athletes first, volleyball players second. The second in a four-part series by the Citizen’s Wayne Scanlan.  Volleyball coach Jay Mooney believes he is fighting the good fight against sport specialization, which is limiting opportunity and athletic function in our youth.

The coaching staff of the Atom Major AA 06’s would like to congratulate the players and families on achieving our goal of winning the Bluewater AA play-down championship. Coaching is a privilege, our staff fully recognizes this. It’s been fun to sit back and watch the boys play with the passion they’ve shown during this past month. This huge accomplishment was made possible because of the heart, determination and teamwork displayed on and off the ice by your 06 Sabres.  

The Blue Water regular season has come to an end. The Sabres battled hard all year long to earn the 1st seed heading into AA Play-downs. This is the first time the 06's have earned the #1 spot and should be very proud of their accomplishment. With steady progress and excellent team play you have made the coaches very proud. Now the "Heavy Lifting" starts boys. Coach Todd

To say that the 06 Sabres performed well at the Nations cup would be a HUGE understatement. Going 2-2-1 was a nice record but when you realize who they played...it's an awesome record.
