2011-09-24T22:26:00.004-05:00

In a week full of great competition, the varsity team went undefeated and earned a 1st place finish in the Manteno Tournament. With wins over Illiana, Glenbard South, and the 5 matches in the Saturday tournament this week, the Trojans improve their record to 20-3, 5-0 in the conference. Great job, girls!

Also congratulations to the freshmen team on a successful Saturday tournament this weekend!

...and in the middle of it all, we still fit in Octoberfest weekend!

1st place finish

Congratulations to the varsity team on going undefeated this weekend, not dropping a single set all day, to take a 1st place finish at the Aurora Christian tournament! The Trojans defeated Hinckley-Big Rock, Wilmington, Aurora Christian, Judah Christian, and Proviso West in the round robin format. With these wins, the varsity squad improves their record to 13-3 overall, 3-0 in the conference. (For a scores and highlights, visit the varsity page at timothychristian.com)

Weekend Results

2011-09-05T20:53:00.002-05:00

The Trojans had a great weekend with the varsity team finishing 2nd in the TC/Westmont Tournament. With 3 match wins against University High, Immaculate Conception, and Aurora Christian on Friday night, TC finished 1st in their pool. On Saturday, the Trojans avenged their loss to Westmont earlier that week in the semifinal round. The finals were against IC, but TC lost a close match 1-2. Congratulations, varsity on a great weekend!

The sophomore team took 1st place in the Aurora Central Catholic tournament, continuing their undefeated string. Congratulations to the sophomore team on a successful weekend as well!

Mr. Woudstra has recorded a few of our games and put them on ihigh.com, if you would like to go back and watch some of our past games so far. Here's a link: http://www.ihigh.com/timothychristian/ .

CLINICS / OPEN GYMS

**We are adding an inexpensive yet very valuable option to our open gyms -- specific skill clinics before we scrimmage. This is a great way to work on more specific skills and then use what you practice in the scrimmage. If you cannot/do not come to the clinic, everyone is welcome for the scrimmaging. This week, Kim Lodewyk is helping me out and conducting the clinics. Please bring $5 if you come to the clinic to compensate Kim for her time and instruction at the clinic. I hope you take advantage of this great opportunity!

Just wanted to pass it on if you're interested - you would have to contact Illiana to sign up.

Week of May 30

2011-05-26T11:12:00.006-05:00

I'm going to be gone for the holiday weekend, so I'm putting this up early. Notice that we do not have anything for this week (week of May 30) - with different graduations, parties, etc. we are just going to hold off.

Looking ahead - we added a few OPEN GYMS for the week of June 6:

Monday, June 6 @ 7:30-8:30 pm

Wednesday, June 8 @ 7:30 - 8:30 pm

(Because of other camps using the gym, these are a little later this week. The rest will be a consistent, earlier time as listed on your summer info sheet.)

Next week, I will start putting a weekly workout on the blog, something that can be done at home if you don't have another program or weight room to get to that week.

Congrats to our incoming freshmen on your graduation...and to everyone on finishing up another school year!

Week of May 23

2011-05-20T12:19:00.002-05:00

We have an open gym Monday, May 23 right after school (it's not on our original schedule). We'll start about 3:15 and go until 4:30/5:00. You can come and go as you please, so feel free to come even if you can only stay for part of it. We may decide to put more on the schedule, so be sure to check the blog in the coming weeks!

Upperclassmen, the deadline to let me know if you are coming to Calvin camp is June 6. Sign up on their website and then email me to let me know you're coming.

Freshmen and Sophomores, if want to sign up for Calvin camp, just remember you are responsible for your own transportation to and from camp (unless I contact you after June 6 with an opening on the bus). However, I can reserve a room for you at the Prince Conference Center, so let me know if you want a room.

Hope to see you Monday!

Summer is coming!

2011-05-10T13:42:00.002-05:00

Summer is right around the corner...and that means we're about ready to start up TC volleyball again! You should have received an sheet full of information about camps, open gyms, and off season workouts. I also emailed it out, so let me know if you didn't get it.

This blog is where all the info will be this summer. Check it out every Monday to know what's going on for the week.

All you need to do now is sign up for the TC camp in June. Also check out the info I sent out about Calvin camp and let me know if you are coming.

I'm looking forward to a great summer! Enjoy your last weeks of school! :)

Season ends

2010-10-30T20:57:00.003-05:00

With a tough 1-2 loss against IC on Saturday afternoon, the Trojans end their season in the Regional Championship game. The girls played really hard and should be proud of the season they had. We finished with an overall record of 23-14, and 9-3 in the conference for a 3rd place finish.

Thank you to everyone that came out to support the volleyball team this weekend, and all of this season!

Regional Championship

2010-10-28T18:33:00.002-05:00

On Wednesday night, the varsity team beat Luther North 2-0 to move on to the Regional Championship game. We now play on Saturday, October 30 @ 1:00 pm at IC high school against the winner of tonights game (IC vs. Walther Lutheran). There's a chance we could be playing IC on their home court, so invite your friends and family to come out and support TC volleyball!!

An update on how varsity finished in conference....after tough, close losses to Illiana and Glenbard South, the girls defeated Ridgewood to end the conference season. This gave us a conference record of 9-3, giving us a 3rd place finish.

Last but not least, congratulations to Elise Biesboer, Krista Lodewyk, and Emma Vander Woude on being named to the 2010 Metro-Suburban All Conference team! Great job ladies!

uniforms

2010-10-26T07:39:00.000-05:00

Freshmen & Sophomores - please remember to hand in your uniforms THIS WEEK to either Coach Van Schepen at varsity practice (right after school) or Mr. Woudstra.

Thanks, everyone for a great regular season! Come out to support the varsity in the post season!

Winding Down

2010-10-15T14:03:00.003-05:00

The regular season is winding down (hard to believe it's here already!) and I wanted to just cover a few things before the week is over....

Varsity still has a chance to fight for the conference title. If we beat Glenbard South on Tuesday, we would put ourselves in a 3-way tie for 1st. Come support the girls in this big game on Tuesday night!

Varsity - The regional schedule is up. We will be playing on Wednesday, October 27 at 7:00 pm against the winner of Luther North and ACT Charter. If we win, we would then play on Saturday, October 30 at 1:00 pm. More detailed info about post season stuff is on the IHSA website: http://www.ihsa.org/activity/vbg/index.htm

Freshmen and Sopohomores - please make sure you return your uniform to Coach Van Schepen or Mr. Woudstra the week following your last game. Coach Van Schepen will be in the gym for practice right after school for sure on Monday & Tuesday (25th & 26th) - that would be a great time to bring it in!

Thanks, everyone for a great season so far - let's finish strong in this last week of regular season! We'd love to have everyone come support the Varsity as we get into post season....all regional games are held at Immaculate Conception - nice and close!

Senior Night

2010-10-15T13:59:00.003-05:00

Last night we honored our 8 seniors and their families. It was a great night celebrating all that our seniors have given to our volleyball program, but battled a tough loss against Illiana 1-2. Thank you seniors! You will be missed next year!

Volley for the Cure

2010-10-13T07:16:00.002-05:00

The Timothy Christian volleyball teams participated in a Volley for the Cure event with Elmwood Park High School on Tuesday, October 12. It was a great night for a great cause...and TC came away with the victory as well.

2 more weeks

2010-10-10T12:54:00.002-05:00

It's hard to believe there's only 2 weeks left of the regular season! Here's what's going on this week...

First, congratulations to the sophomore team on winning the Illiana tournament! They beat Illiana in the finals to take home 1st place - great job girls!

On Tuesday, we are participating in Dig for the Cure in our game against Elmwood Park, so the teams will be wearing pink uniforms in support of the cause.

Thursday is senior night and sophomore/varsity's last home game. Bring your friends and family - it's going to be a great night with some great volleyball being played!

Conference - Round 2

2010-10-03T16:51:00.003-05:00

On Wednesday, October 6, practice will be short for all squads - everyone must be out of the gym by 4:00. There is a Christian college fair at TCHS that night and they need to set up for it at that time.

Congratulations to the sophomore team on taking 2nd place at the IC tournament this weekend. They lost in 3 sets to R-B in the championship game, but played well and will have a chance to face R-B again on Tuesday. Great job girls!

We are starting the second round of conference games starting this week. Varsity is sitting in a great spot in the conference right now can put themselves in a position to win it, so I'm excited to see what we can do in the next 3 weeks.

Senior night will be Thursday, October 14 vs. Illiana. This is our last home game, and we would love to have great crowd support that night! Invite your friends and family and come support TC volleyball!

Congrats freshmen!

2010-09-11T14:48:00.003-05:00

Congratulations to the freshmen team for a 2nd place finish at the Chicago Christian tournament this weekend! The Trojans finished with a 3-1 record on Saturday, beating Aurora Central Catholic, Illiana Christian, and Wheaton Academy - a great victory after losing to this team earlier this season. Their one loss came against Chicago Christian, but it was a tough battle. The match went to 3 sets, with the 3rd set score ending at 14-16. Overall, the girls played really well - great job freshmen!

Week 1 and Tshirts

2010-09-07T08:55:00.003-05:00

Week 1 was definitely a busy one! Varsity ended the week with a 2-5 record and placing 4th in the Timothy/Westmont Tournament, but 4 of the losses came in matches that went to 3 games with very close scores. We are looking to keep improving and start having some of these close matches go our way.

This Thursday we start conference games, so freshmen will be playing at the opposite site than the sophomores and varsity (fresh @ home vs. R-B; soph & varsity @ R-B).

Tshirts have been ordered! Parent's shirts will cost $10 - feel free to pay me any time and I will give you or your daughter the shirt as soon as it comes.

tshirts for sale

2010-08-31T09:16:00.004-05:00

I am currently offering my left over camp tshirts to the high school girls. However, I am looking to reorder more tshirts if parents/families are also interested in getting one. If you were not at the parents meeting last night but would like to order a tshirt for yourself or other members of your family, please email Coach Van Schepen with the number and size(s) you would like. The design of the shirts is below. Cost will be around $10 for parents and families - this is not a fundraiser, just an chance to get a TC volleyball shirt if you want one!

Please let one of the coaches know by this week Friday, September 3 if you would like to order a tshirt!

We are going to have a Parent Meeting for all 3 teams on Monday, August 30th @ 6:30 pm in the high school cafeteria to introduce our new coaches and talk about a few program-wide expectations/rules before the games get into full swing. Please come if you are able and let your coach know if you have any questions!

Message from Coach Van Den Bosch

2010-06-25T17:15:00.007-05:00

Coach Van Den Bosch asked me to pass this message along...

Timothy Christian Volleyball campers -
Thanks for the great time in camp and the wild drive in the storm Wednesday after camp. I am sorry we did not get a chance to finish the last day and also say goodbye. I thought you guys were respectful, gracious, listened well and worked hard. I hope you thought it was a productive time for yourself as well.

You should have a very nice team this fall. I will watch the  website to see how the team is doing this fall.

I hope you also check out the DC website. All our home matches are  webcast and would love to have you guys take a good look at DC when you  are ready to think seriously about a college.

Thanks again for the super time last week. Blessings and best  wishes!!!

Coach Van Den Bosch

No open gym

2010-06-24T20:40:00.003-05:00

There will be no open gym tomorrow. The next one is scheduled for Monday, June 28 @ 6:30 if there is power. Check here for the status of that open gym by Monday morning.

Make up

2010-06-24T11:54:00.002-05:00

I'm hoping we can make up today's cancelled camp next week sometime, or whenever the power comes back on. I'm only available Tuesday or Thursday, but if we can arrange a makeup day for camp, I'll post it here and send an email to the addresses I have. Stay tuned...

Confirmation

2010-06-24T07:50:00.001-05:00

Just confirmation that there is no camp today (Thursday). Any questions, call my cell phone. Thanks!

Thursday camp

2010-06-23T21:08:00.001-05:00

Well, our hopes to have power back are gone....and it's worse. Because of tonight's storms there is currently no power in the high school OR middle school, so we will have to cancel volleyball camp for Thursday. If there is a miracle before 8:30 am tomorrow morning and power is back, I'll post it on here. :) Otherwise plan on no camp.

Sorry about the crazy changes and schedule this week. Thank you for your flexibility through it all. Check back to this blog every Monday for open gym times and other info for the week!

Next open gyms:

Friday, June 25 @ 6:30 pm (I'm doubtful about having power by then - check here for cancellation info)
Monday, June 28 @ 6:30 pm

Wednesday Camp

2010-06-23T07:17:00.001-05:00

We will keep the same schedule as yesterday in the middle school...

8th-9th @ 12:00 - 2:30

10th-12th @ 2:45 - 5:15

Tuesday camp

2010-06-22T07:53:00.000-05:00

The power is still out in the high school. Camp will be in the MIDDLE SCHOOL and the times will change a little bit b/c there's basketball camp in the middle school in the morning.

8th/9th camp - 12:00 - 2:30

10th-12th camp - 2:45 - 5:15

If you have to leave early or come late, that's completely fine. Thank you for your flexibility with this!

Coach

Back up Plan

2010-06-21T20:36:00.001-05:00

IF we have to be in the middle school tomorrow (Tuesday) for camp, the times will change so that we don't interfere with the basketball camp in the middle school gym. Here's how our backup plan will run...

8th/9th camp - 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm

10th-12th camp - 2:45 - 5:15 pm

I hope this doesn't affect anyone's schedule too badly, but hopefully we will be in the high school and not have to worry about it.

Assume we will be in the high school at regularly scheduled times - if we need to use our backup plan, I'll post it on here by 8:30 am. Call me if you have questions!

Week of June 21

2010-06-20T13:06:00.000-05:00

TIMOTHY VOLLEYBALL CAMP!! Hopefully see you this week at camp!

CALVIN CAMP (Juniors & Seniors)
I said there was going to be an email last week, but I didn't get the information about housing like planned. Due to NCAA rules, Calvin cannot provide us with free housing, so their coach is finding reservations for us on campus - the price should be very reasonable. More information to follow this week in an email.

So check here on MONDAYS to see what's going on with volleyball for the week, and as always, email or call me if you have any questions.

We'll start having open gyms after spring break. Listen for the announcements at school and look here for the dates and times.

Have a great spring break everyone!

Stayin' Alive

With tonight's win against Lisle, we have moved on to the Regional Championship game. We will be playing at Lisle on Saturday afternoon (1:30 pm) against Westmont. Like tonight, we won't be taking a Timothy bus, so we will meet at Lisle High School at 12:40 pm.

Thanks to all our fans - you were a great crowd tonight. Hope to see you Saturday afternoon!

Regionals

2009-10-28T18:03:00.000-05:00

Thursday is the start of Regionals! We play Chicago Dyett at 6:00 pm at Lisle High School. If we win that game, we play right afterwards at 7:00 pm against Lisle. We are not taking a Timothy bus to the game, so everyone is meeting at Lisle at 5:10 pm.

Invite all your friends! We want to have a great crowd to start off the post season!

Week of 10/12

2009-10-12T19:59:00.001-05:00

Here's the info for this week...

Thursday will be senior night. We will be introducing the senior parents and ask them to come out onto the floor. The girls also said everyone usually brings snacks and/or drinks to share in the cafeteria after the game.

Friday there will be no practice. Elmhurst College is hosting a tournament and we are going to watch the 4:00 pm game. For those that are interested, Elmhurst College also plays Calvin College at 8:00 pm.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

This Week

2009-10-05T21:37:00.000-05:00

Wednesday
I just found out that on Wednesday, October 7, there will be a Christian college fair in the high school gym. They set up for the fair at 4:00 pm, so that means we have to change some practice times. Varsity and sophomores will practice right after school until 4:00. Freshmen are working to find a sand volleyball court, weather permitting.

Thursday
All levels (Fr/So/Var) will be going to the Ridgewood on Thursday.

Friday/Saturday - Huntley Tournament
Friday evening we will be staying overnight at the Buikema's cottage, so the bus will not be returning ot the high school on Friday night. Saturday after the tournament, the Lodewyk's church has allowed us to go to Feed My Starving Children with them. It's a place that assembles food packs. The bus will be returning to the school after the tournament, as all the girls are not able to come. And then between my car and the Lodewyk's car, we will have enough room to take the 8 girls that said they wanted to go.

Schedules for the tournament will be handed out Tuesday.

Pictures of Manteno Tournament

2009-09-30T21:58:00.000-05:00

If anyone would like to see pictures of the Manteno tournament, there are a bunch at this website: www.sportshooter.ifp3.com

There are pictures of every game, in no particular order, so you have to sort through them a bit. I tried to go through and find the pages that had pictures of our team: 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15.

*Page 11 has a the most pictures of our team, and Page 15 has a couple really good (and funny) team photos of us with our trophy. You can order them right off the website if you see something you want. Enjoy!

A new week

2009-09-28T19:40:00.000-05:00

Congratulations to both the freshmen and varsity teams for this weekend's play. The freshmen hosted the TC tournament and finished 2nd behind IC. Varsity traveled to Manteno and finished 3rd place. Also, congrats to Krista Lodewyk and Elise Biesboer for being named to the all-tournament team!

This week, we just have 2 games, both away games. On Tuesday, we will be leaving at 3:15 for Riverside-Brookfield and on Thursday we leave at 3:00 for Illiana.

Manteno Change

2009-09-24T14:58:00.000-05:00

The coach from Manteno just emailed and said a team dropped out of the tournament this weekend. Our Friday schedule will remain the same, playing at 6:00 & 8:00 pm. However, Saturday morning we are now playing at 9:00 am, with the other games to be determined on how we finish in the pool. (The last scheduled game is 1:00.)

This means we have to leave Saturday morning at 7:00 am - please note the time change.

Changes to the Practice Schedule

2009-09-23T22:38:00.000-05:00

We have been getting several questions about CEA weekend - October 21-23. When I sent out the practice/game schedule, I didn't realize when CEA weekend was, so we have decided to make some changes to the practice schedule. Here is the revised practice plan for Wednesday, October 21 - Monday, October 26.

Wednesday, October 21: Varsity practice @ 3:15 - 4:45 pm
Thursday, October 22: Intersquad scrimmage vs. sophomore team @ 8:00 - 10:00 am
Friday, October 23: No Practice
Monday, October 26: Varsity practice @ 6:45 - 7:45 am. Keeping in mind that we have a game that night against Illiana, we will have a short practice in the morning since we will have 3 days off over the weekend.

Please make these changes on your calendar. If anyone has a question or concern about these changes, please feel free to email or call me.

OTHER INFO:

Friday - the bus will be leaving right after school for the Manteno tournament. We play at 6:00 & 8:00.

Saturday - the bus will leave school at 7:55 am. For those who will meet us there, please be at the school no later than 9:15 am.

Monday - Pasta Party at the Langkamps!

A Few Things

2009-09-15T20:18:00.000-05:00

Wednesday (tomorrow) is picture day - make sure you bring your uniform!

Friday, the team will not be going to the Dordt match at Olivet because it may get to be a late night and we don't have a way to take everyone in one vehicle. We decided to attend a Elmhurst College/Calvin match in October - stay tuned for info about this later.

Saturday, varsity is playing in the Aurora Christian Tournament. The bus will be leaving the high school parking lot at 7:25 am - please be on time! Schedules were sent home already, so let me know if you need another.

I also have tournament schedules for next weekend's tournament at Manteno - I have a few extras if anyone did not get a schedule.

Change for Monday 9/14

2009-09-13T19:41:00.000-05:00

I just received an email that Latin School will be ready to start the freshmen game tomorrow at 4:30 pm. I realize the schedule says 5:00 pm start for both the sophomore and freshmen teams, but please be aware that the freshmen game may start early. The bus will still be leaving Timothy Christian at 3:10 pm.

Monday, September 14

2009-09-12T10:00:00.000-05:00

On Monday, all 3 teams play at Latin School. Just as a reminder the bus will be leaving at 3:10 pm, so please be ready to go right away!

Congratulations to all 3 teams for last week's play - TC volleyball went 6-0!

Thursday Change (9/10/09)

2009-09-07T22:47:00.000-05:00

And just like that, week 1 is finished and the varsity has 7 games under our belt. I'm very encouraged by the progress that we have made this week - I always think you learn so much as a team when you play a game and see where to go from there. The varsity team took 3rd place in their shared tournament with Westmont and the sophomore team took 2nd place at the Aurora Central Catholic tournament. Overall, a very good weekend for the TC volleyball program.

THIS WEEK - PLEASE NOTE: On Thursday, there has been a freshman game added to the schedule. The freshman team will be playing Westminster at 4:30. The sophomores and varsity start time against IMSA is changed to 5:30 & 6:30 pm. This change was made and pointed out to the girls on the practice/game schedule sent home at the beginning of the season, but this is just a reminder.

I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend!

Let the games begin!

2009-08-31T18:25:00.000-05:00

Our first game has finally arrived! I had one question about the start time tomorrow night, since the freshmen game has been cancelled. We will still be starting at 6:00 pm, with the sophomore team starting at 5:00 pm.

Varsity tournament schedules for Friday/Saturday at the TC/Westmont Tourney were also sent home today. We play 3 games, one right after the other on Friday night. Saturday times depend on how we finish on Friday.

Practice schedules were also sent home last week. Please note that while these are a good guideline to go by, there may be changes along the way. I will post any changes on the blog if they come up.
