A team from the Airdrie and Calgary Volley Club (ACVC) won Silver at a recent tournament.

Head Coach of the Calgary Reign Tracy Donst says many communities contributed to the club's big win.

"We've got players from all four High Schools in Airdrie. We've got a couple from Olds, one from Carstairs and one out of Calgary."

The girls team won the Silver at the Calgary Cup, a competition with a lot of potential.

"It's like a prospect, scouting tournament so they bring up a bunch of scouts from the US and Canada, from the colleges."

Victory is certainly sweet for Donst and the club given the strides they had to take at the beginning of the year.

"We just needed to get more tougher competition, so that they could see actually how good they were and start to believe in themselves"
