“One week before tryouts, another local club in Madison decided to not offer volleyball for boys this season.  Kevin Scopoline wanted to make sure that all boys that wanted to play were given an opportunity to tryout.  This included a free tune-up clinic prior to tryouts.  He then obtained enough space and staff to hold tryouts anticipating a large turnout.  After a great turnout, he secured enough coaches and court time in order to field seven boys teams.  This was in addition to 19 girls teams.  This enabled 69 boys to play, many of which would not have been able to play.

“To ensure the boys had a good experience, Kevin allocated time for his director of player development, to work with the boy’s teams. Even with a shortened season the teams had a great deal of success. There were two gold championships, five silver championships and one bronze championship.

“Kevin has always believed in having the best coaches as possible.  When Badger Region hosted a CAP certification in early December, Kevin reached out to his coaches to see who was interested and available.  He then paid for nine of his coaches to attend.  This was in addition to him renewing his own CAP certification.”
