The NorCal Volleyball Club 16-1s team finished first at the NCVA regional championships in Reno on May 11-12, and secured a National bid to the USA Volleyball Junior Nationals. The team includes four girls from the Lamorinda area--Brianna Lee (Libero), Erin Meade (Opposite Hitter), Molly Mitchell (Outside Hitter), and Annika Olson (Middle Blocker). This was the second year in a row that they won both the regional championship tournament and finished No. 1 in the overall season standings, of the 113 teams in Northern California. The team will head to nationals in Indianapolis in July.

The team is led by coaches Ernie Rodriguez and Shari Rodriguez, who also were the coaches at Acalanes High School this past year.
