While practice is always important, coaches know the creating a team mindset is very important. Coach Rucker described how she builds team culture before a new season.

“In preparation for this year’s volleyball season, Hillsboro JV and Varsity teams attended Kentucky camp in July, then all 3 teams went to Alliance camp in Franklin, TN.
