Middle School Playoffs: Miami Dade







On Wednesday Dec 3rd, the Middle School Divisional Playoffs got underway at Tamiami Park on the outside hard courts. The top eight teams that had survived the earlier round of the playoffs would all converge at one location to determine a South Dade and a North Dade Champion.

Eight Varsity teams and six Junior Varsity teams had made it this far but only one Champion from the North and South would have their season extended for one more match for both Varsity and JV.

It might not have been the best day to play volleyball outside due to the high winds and threat of rain but you could tell by looking at all the young ladies present that they were all very excited to be at this playoff event sharing the court with 14teams.

Besides the fact that the matches were outside, it was similar to a USAV club event in that the girls were able to observe other matches. For those who do play club, they were able to see many friends on opposing teams. In all, the day's action will hopefully be something every player remembers regardless of who won or lost.


Of course there were winners with Palmetto d Carver for the South Championship and Filer d. Miami Springs in the North Championship.



Arvida's JV captured the South's Championship, Coached by Jerry and Joy Beverly.


Next Week both the North and South Champions will meet at the Miami Springs high school gym to determine both the Miami Dade County Champions for varsity and JV. We wish the best of luck to the teams that will advance to the county championship match.
