    Opening Day

    Bloomington High School , 10570 Laurel Ave., Bloomington · verified Jul 31
    See details

    The new coaching staff for the Bloomington High School girls volleyball program is launching its home opener at the Bloomington High School Gym with a call for community support to create a spirited, celebratory environment for the athletes. Their focus is on building a culture where players feel seen, supported, and motivated to excel on the court and in life. As part of this effort, they are seeking donated balloon displays to brighten the entrance and court, DJ or music support to energize the crowd, and photography or videography to capture memories. They are also aiming for a full house in the stands to show strong Bloomington pride. The program notes that Bloomington High, part of the Colton Joint Unified School District, has often felt overlooked, and this opening day centers the athletes and the community standing behind them. Local businesses, alumni, parents, and neighbors who wish to help are invited to contact Head Volleyball Coach Karla Canez.
