LIMA, Ohio—
Some young volleyball players at Lima Central Catholic got the chance to learn from former champions on Friday.
The “Thunderbird Legacy” camp brought back members of LCC’s 2007 state championship team to help teach skills to students in grades five through eight.
The clinic was led by players from that title-winning squad and their former head coach, David Franklin. The focus was on building foundational skills and emphasizing teamwork.
“We always talked about giving back,” Franklin said. “We wanted to leave something—we were always talking about that: leave a tradition. This is a chance for us to give back and get together.”
Franklin said he hopes the camp becomes an annual tradition to develop future players and keep the Thunderbird legacy alive.
