At a meeting of Elmwood Park CUSD 401, two commenters praised the girls volleyball program, saying the team's coaching staff and players have produced wins over the past four years and helped bring new participants into the sport.
Speakers said the program's success reflected coaching at multiple levels and the players' personal growth, which they described as a source of community pride.
"For me, it means that, you know, we're building our program. We're doing something right as coaches. I can't take all the credit. I have got great coaches at the lower level who have developed these girls," Speaker 1, Commenter, said.
"For me as a player, it means a lot to me because a lot of these girls don't play volleyball and that the fact that we pulled the wins these past 4 years, it me really means a lot. And I'm really proud of them individually. And it just makes me so happy. It makes my heart full to see them excited and happy to win," Speaker 2, Commenter, said.
No formal action or vote was recorded in connection with these remarks during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.
