With a new coaching team leading the Bloomington High School girls volleyball program, the home opener is being presented as a fresh start that prioritizes transforming team culture and elevating the athlete experience. The aim is to ensure these players feel the same pride and support seen at other schools in the Colton Joint Unified School District, showing them they are recognized, backed by their community, and motivated to succeed on the court and in life. To create a memorable atmosphere in the gym, the program is seeking help from the community. Contributions that would make an impact include balloon decorations for the entrance and court, music or a DJ to build crowd energy, and photography or videography to capture lasting memories for the team. A full and enthusiastic crowd in the bleachers is also part of the vision. Local businesses, alumni, parents, and neighbors are being asked to rally behind these student athletes and show clear Bloomington pride.
