15 Elite traveled to Kansas City, Missouri over Easter weekend to compete in the SHOW ME Juinor National Qualifier. After two days of competition there were only 6 teams left competing for a bid. The top 6 teams were put into two 3-team pools. Viper faced Kansas City Power and Colorado Performance. They took Colorado Performance, a team they beat last year in the SCVA Junior National Qualifier Champtionship Match, in 2 games. Kansas City proved to be a big and dynamic opponent but Viper stepped up their serving, defense and offense to take them in three! Winning the pool secured a Junior National Open bid for the team and a match in the final against Asaics MAVS from Kansas City. Viper played a great match, winning the first game, but lost in three. This gave Viper a 2nd place finish! It was an incredible tournament for these young players are we are so proud of them!

This is the first team in Viper History to earn an OPEN bid to Junior Nationals.

 

The Benefits of Posture

The Benefits of Posture.

Check this video out we found useful from our friends over at Egoscue. A simple explanation about the benefits of good posture: breathing, fatigue, etc. Could it be any simpler…

Clipped from the 1947 animation short, Modern Guide to Health, promoting general health awareness, by the British government. But as we have learned since, proper posture will not solve problems of poor work design. To read more about the benefits of posture, go to the website of the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for an up-to-date look at this topic at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/ergonomics/
