Hello my name is Nick Nolan. I am an experienced volleyball player looking to get on a team to play some competative volleyball, unfotunatly i don't have friends with much volleyball experience to start my own team but was wondering if there are any teams currently looking for a player. I'm 21, 5'8", and currently a student at UC. Very easy to get along with and a dedicated player. I was a 4 varsity setter for Milford High School, I also played a few year of JO for Cincinnati Attack. So if there are any teams looking for a setter or Libero or just need an extra man (can also hit and serve well) I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know. Looking for a team in the Cincinnati area. Thanks.

I am 22, 6'3", and just recently graduated from a school in Indiana. I just moved back to Columbus and was looking for a team to play on. I played four years religiously in Highschool and two years of Club. While in attending college, I assisted with our D1 girls team and played in numerous tourneys around town and neighboring cities (STL, Louisville, etc...). I have been playing sand recently and really want to get back into the indoor scene. Looking for a competetive team that needs another serious player. Thanks!

Columbus, OH MB/all Men's A/AA 06/17/08
I recently moved up to the downtown Columbus-area for my first job out of school - I'm a 23-year-old, 6"6' MB with about 10 years of organized play experience. I played Club while at school and did USAV last year for the first time on a BB level. I'm hoping to compete at a higher level and am looking to play as much as possible - whether it be every week on a USAV team or a random Open Gym. Any help getting pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated - thanks.

Elyria (Cleveland area), OH All/Any Men's A or AA 04/10/08
Description: I am 25 years old and I am willing to travel if need be. I'm looking to move up to a higher level of competition. I currently play USAV BB and feel that I am more than capable of competing in a higher level of play. I've been playing volleyball now for 14 years, I played in high school, and would have started for Kent State's club team if my work schedule had permitted. I try to play at least 5 to 6 days a week. I play at Turners in East Cleveland every Tuesday night, which is AA level. I'm well versed at every position, from the middle to the libero. My strong points are the strong side attack and passing. Feel free to email me at nickolas.quinn@norlakemfg.com if interested.

My name is McKenna Troyan and I am 5'7" setter looking for an A or Open women's volleyball team. I played four years at Hope College and now live in Toledo, OH. I would love to sub for a tournament and/or join a team. Looking for competitive volleyball. Thanks!
Tim Hoyt trhoyt@cedarville.edu Cedarville, OH OH Men's A 02/19/08
I'm 6'2" outside/right side hitter looking for A level play. I prefer outside and I at least will be a good fill in if you're missing someone for a tournament. I'm 21 and my skill set is solid. I have not played in USAV tournaments before but I'm playing in a local league with a team of A/AA players. I am also an assistant to a university women's team. I can play one tournament as a fill in or I may be interested in joining a team. I am limited to playing in tournaments not too far from Dayton. Columbus is possible but Canton is out.

Hy my name is Mo, and I am 22 years old. I am interested in playing volleyball and looking for a team to be able to play in. I am looking for a not too highly competetive team due to the fact that I have only played Volleyball for one year and that was in high school when I first moved to the US from Germany in 2001. I would like to join any team in the Columbus OH area and I am a really fast learner and when I have my mind set on something I will succeed in it so if you are looking for a player in the Columbus Ohio area definetely email me at mark_salem2k3@yahoo.com, thank you.

I'm Laura. I'm 25 years old, 5'7" setter. I played at Mount Union College, and have played 2 years of USAV at the BB/A level. I had a team this year, but all of a sudden things fell through, and now I'm screwed! If anyone needs a sub, or is still looking for a player, contact me! I prefer setter, but am proficient at any position. Create a Healthy Day!
