Tsuanmi Service Project

4/22/2009 — Wendy

Each season Tsunami partners with the Atlanta Alliance for Developmental Disabilities (AADD) to host and run a volleyball tournament for special Olympians in our community. This is a tremendous act of service and giving to our community. This year the tournament will be on Saturday May 9th at Clairmont Presbyterian Church (1994 Clairmont Road, Decatur GA 30033). We'll need all you players, and parents too, to come out and volunteer your time to help run this tournament. We have divided the day into two waves for which we'll need volunteers- AM Wave 8:00am- 12:00pm and the PM Wave 12:00pm- 4:00pm, but even if you can only make it for an hour we would love to see you there! Please RSVP to your coach or Coach Wendy Weaver.

18 Black Wins the Peachtree Classic!

3/16/2009 — Wendy

Fourteen Tsunami teams participated in the annual Peachtree Classic Tournament this past weekend. Tsunami was once again well represented in all age levels! The Big Wave was led by the 18 Black team as they went undefeated in the tournament to take the Championship! 18 Black defeated ProLink, Team Sting, North Atl, and CSA in Saturday's pool play to place them in the Gold Bracket. Sunday morning brought tough competition from BVC, Team Sting, and West Florida, but the Big Wave proved unstoppable and 18 Black completed their perfect tournament without ever dropping even a game! Congratulations 18 Black!!

17 Black Wins the NASA Big Spring Bash!

3/2/2009

14 Tsunami teams traveled to Huntsville, AL this past weekend to compete in the NASA Big Spring Bash. Tsunami had an outstanding showing at all levels of this high quality tournament! But it was our 17 Black team who led the way taking the Championship in the 18 Gold Division! 17 Black went undefeated in pool play on Saturday putting away Delta Force, RCVC 181, and ChooChoo City 181. In Sunday's Gold Bracket the big wave swept past RCVC 182 in the quarter finals and Delta Force in the semi finals hoping to face our own Tsunami 18 Black team in the finals. But the Tsunami vs. Tsunami finals wasn't to be as 18 Black fell just short to a strong Team Sting 181 in their own semi finals match. So it was Team Sting vs. 17 Black in the 18 Gold finals and at the end of the exciting 3 game match 17 Black came out on top to take home the Championship! Congratulations 17 Black!!


13 Black's 14-Match Win Streak Ends

2/11/2009 — Tad/Gena

Coming off a tournament championship in the Southern Draw, 13-Black moved up a class to play in the 14Gold level of the Cyclone Classic. The team started off the day with a win over tournament host, Cyclone 14-1. They proceeded to beat ProLink 14-1, TCA 14-2, and Ga5 14-1 in pool play. In the semi-finals 13-Black beat TCA 14-1, and extended their win streak to 14 matches in a row. The match-up in the finals was against an A5 14-2 team that was also undefeated in pool play. After losing a close 1st set the team settled down and beat A5 25-12. In the third set, the power and experience of the A5 team proved to be too much as they won fairly easily. 13-Black used their defensive tenacity and smart play to fight all day long against older and bigger competition. The captains for the day (Lilly and Christine) earned their honors, by providing spark to the team. Next up for the team is Birmingham on 2/14 and 2/15.


Tsunami 13-Black Wins Southern Draw

2/10/2009 — Tad/Gena

Tsunami 13-Black won their opening tournament at the Southern Draw in Suwanee, GA over the MLK weekend. The team finished off the weekend with a 9-0 match record and an 18-2 set record. The team played hard and improved throughout the three day tournament, and eventually ended up beating a tough Club South 13-1 team (25-20, 25-15) in the finals. The best thing about the weekend was the improvement from start to finish. This team looks to make huge waves throughout the season!

1/23/2009 — Wendy
