Milwaukee Sting alum and current senior for the Wisconsin Badgers, Caity DuPont has gone big time. Caity is starring in a new commercial on the Big Ten Network. Attempts were made to contact Caity through her agent, Ari Gold, but we were unsuccessful. We were however able to secure footage of the commercial by way of everybody's favorite on the clock time waster, Youtube.

Okay sports fans, pay attention. I realize it is early and the H.S. season just began. In an attempt to eeeease everyone into one of the new rules for the 2010 club season, we would like to get a jump on things here at Sting and educate everyone as much as possible as to avoid early season heart attacks, seizures, blown blood vessels and fainting. It's not going to be pretty.

In an effort to stay in line with the FIVB ruleset (International), USAV has adpoted new 'standards' for net faults. Gone, yes GONE are the days of players being called for a net fault when they simply run into it. The only net fault called in the 2010 season will be specifically on the TOP of the net or, "the tape" while playing the ball. Sparing everyone the specifics we would like the Sting masses to watch this embedded video created by an official in eurpoe. It is a little rough to read in points but one should get the idea of what is and what is not a fault for the up-coming (and through at least 2012) club season.

Enjoy......

There is also a significant rule change for center line violations but let us deal with one head spinning change at a time.....We aren't all on the same health plan.

It’s that time of year again when the butterflies return for all players and coaches. Our Sting players once again have to prove themselves at their high school, middle school or grade school tryouts. Our Sting coaches have to make hard decisions on which players will help to make their team and their program the strongest it can be right through the 1st weekend of November.

We want to wish everyone good luck at their tryouts next week. Stay healthy and stay positive.

Yes! We have an update for the website. I apologize for the delay. We have three new commitment announcements to make here on the front page of Milwaukee Sting. Let's begin with Erica Reetz (Homestead H.S.) of Sting 17 Gold. Erica has chosen to continue her volleyball career at Yale University. Sting 17 Black MH, Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin Eisenhower H.S.) has verbally accepted an offer from the UW-Green Bay Phoenix. Rounding out this list of three is the first 2011 Stinger to verbally accept an offer. Kelli Browning (Catholic Memorial H.S.), a MH for our Sting 16 Gold team is staying close to home and will become a Wisconsin Badger in the fall of 2011. A huge congratulations goes out to all three of you!

The end of the season is near...wait, it's already come and gone? That was quick.

A big congratulations goes out to our medal winning teams at the JVDA Championships in Louisville, KY. Sting 14 Gold took home the bronze medal in 14 Open. Sting 16 Black also brought home some hardware by earning bronze in the 16 Club division. Way to go ladies. The club is proud of you all.

All Finishes:

That's 10 top 10 finishes for Sting at the end of the season. Great job to everyone on another great season at Milwaukee Sting. New athletes, new coaches, new friends and new memories. Every year it gets better and better.
