Recent Sightings Recent sightings: Volleyball 101

August 14, 2015

Members of the Wisconsin women’s volleyball team hosted a Bucky’s Buddies Sports 101 for Kids event in the Field House on Aug. 13. The event was an opportunity for children ages 5 to 12 to learn the game of volleyball and have a good time with the UW team.

The volleyball team opens its season on Aug. 28-29, by hosting Colgate, the College of Charleston, and Western Kentucky in the annual HotelRED Invitational.  Single match tickets go on sale Aug. 19.
