ERBM Volleyball…

The ERBM Recreation and Park District offered a youth volleyball program in Meeker for the first time this fall. A combined third- and fourth-grade team played in-house games with the combined fifth- and sixth-grade team, split into two teams, traveled and played in New Castle and Rifle. The fifth- and sixth-grade teams played each other in the championship game in the end-of year-tournament. The third/fourth grade was coached by Christy Knight and fifth/sixth grade was co-coached by Kathy Thorsby and Roxy Chintala.
