The Little River volleyball team has gone a combined a 153-18 over the past four years and the philosophy head coach Kim Rolfs has is building momentum over the season so that her team is playing their best in the postseason.
“My expectations for this season is for our kids to practice and focus on playing or best volleyball in October,” Rolfs said. “We need to work to become the best versions of ourselves and wherever that finishes us we will be incredibly proud of what we accomplished.”
The Redskins have five seniors who are three-time state champions. They have been the heart and soul of the Little River program.
Arika Feldman, Havana Olander, Adelynne Strecker and Evie Look were first team all-league selections a year ago.
“Our seniors are on a mission and the team will do everything in its power for them to accomplish that mission,” Rolfs said.
Once the postseason comes around, Little River is battle-tested because of how loaded its schedule is. Schools like Inman, Southeast of Saline and Hillsboro are just some of the many quality opponents on the Redskins’ schedule.
“Our league is also competitive and becoming more talented each year,” Rolfs said. “When a team is as successful as we’ve been, you have to understand that everyone is going to give you their best game, and we have to be ready for that.”
