We want to send our love and thoughts to the family of Devin Lopeman Cirbo, who lost her daughter (and young volleyball player) and husband to a motorcycle accident this last week. NORCO teams have competed against Brooklyn at every Power this year and both she and her father were a big presence and full of light and energy in the gym. This is a huge loss to our volleyball community and we send our care and compassion to all involved, and are reminded of how precious our time, families and experiences are together.

This week at Norco...
CONGRATS to Elliott Mickelberry on her commitment to the University of Cincinnati. Learn about her journey in her own words:
"I started playing volleyball my freshman year of high school and quickly fell in love with the sport. After joining club, I realized that if I wanted to play at the collegiate level, I needed to improve quickly—so I committed to getting extra reps whenever I could. My senior year, I switched to Norco, where I grew significantly as a player, gained more opportunities, and continued to develop through hard work, being coachable, and taking constructive criticism.
Throughout my 3.5-year recruiting journey, I stayed patient and focused, knowing I wanted to find a school that challenged me both athletically and academically. That patience paid off, and now I’m so excited to announce that l will be continuing my athletic and academic career at the University of Cincinnati, playing Division I volleyball! I am incredibly grateful for my family for always supporting me throughout my volleyball journey. A huge thank you to Coach Tomic, Zheng, Ali, and Sean for this amazing opportunity to play at the next level. I also want to thank my current coaches Dana Burkhlder and Makena Ehlert, as well as my teammates, for always pushing me to be the best I can be. And to God, for blessing me with the ability to pursue my passion. I can't wait to begin this next chapter- Go Bearcats!!!"

NORCO Volleyball is a non-profit organization that focuses on developing volleyball players into well-rounded individuals. Our focus is more than volleyball and our qualified coaches strive to teach young men and women how to be successful. Every year, we hope to instill lasting impressions on these players that they will carry with them for a lifetime. Club Volleyball is a tool that teaches young men and women how to face difficult circumstances where they are forced to be uncomfortable and pushed to balance school, life, family, and volleyball. This is a challenge for every young adult and a necessary part of preparing for the next stages in life.
