Jaime Snyder: Let the Season Begin


This season has started off with a lot of hard work from everyone! Practices are going great and the team seems to be coming together better than ever! We have all gotten really close and even had a team dinner at Jess Greiner's house that was full of excitement. We were fed by her wonderful parents and even got to play on all the toys in their back yard including a trampoline, a swing set, and a seesaw. We also watched Jess Senek swim in the freezing pool, the water was way too cold for anyone else to go in!

This week should be the real test for us. We will be preparing for our first tournament and are traveling all the way to Baltimore, Maryland on Friday. While there, we will be matched up against some tough competition and we will even get a little sight-seeing in. We get to go to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner, and to hang out at the Inner Harbor as well. I am excited to see what this season brings and to see what we will accomplish throughout it!

Jaime Snyder: Summertime

This summer has been an interesting one to say the least. Just six days after arriving home from college, I flew down to Jacksonville Beach, Fl to live with my cousin and watch her kids all summer. The house is just a few blocks from the beach, making it an easy walk there everyday! Not only have I been hanging out in the sand and waves every weekend, I have also been running the shore most nights along with lifting at Planet Fitness as well. Since being in Florida, I have also gotten to see my Grandparents a few times which I enjoyed very much. They were even so kind to take me out to Carrabba's, my new favorite place to eat! Along with seeing them, I got to visit my friends in Orlando that I grew up with before moving to New York. That was a blast from the past. As much as I have loved and missed living down here, I can not wait to get back to New York and see my family and friends. I also can not wait to finally get back to college and start the volleyball season out strong! I am very excited to meet the new members of the team, and kick off the season with a strong start!
