Hall of Fame Coach Passes

Former Jackson County Central coach, Carolyn Hummel passed away late this week.  They're calling it "non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver."  They also believe she had cancer in her liver.  She has not been ill long.  Just 4 or 5 months.  The family has really kept things quiet during her illness.  They spent a number of weeks at the Mayo Clinic trying to get some answers. 

  

Carolyn graduated in 1960.  Of course, that was the days before girls' sports.  The legend has it that if girls had been allowed to play boys' sports at that time, Carolyn would have been a starter on both the football and the basketball teams...and they were great teams!  The basketball team went to the state tournament and the football team was undefeated.

 

JCC won two volleyball titles while Carolyn was coaching (1999 & 2003).  She was inducted into the MNVBCA Hall of Fame in 2004.

 

Her daughter, Angie, is an assistant at Augustana College in Sioux Falls.

 

Carolyn’s visitation will be Friday night, June 19 5 – 7 p.m. in Lakefield, MN

Funeral is Saturday, June 20 at 2:00 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.

 

Address of family:

WELCOME!

The Minnesota Volleyball Coaches Association is an organization of high school volleyball coaches.  Membership is open to any individual who coaches volleyball in grades 9 through 12, or any individual who is interested in high school volleyball.  Our parent organization is the Minnesota State High School Coaches Association.  Founded in the early 1970's, the purpose of both the volleyball coaches association and parent organization is to promote athletic activities for girls in the State of Minnesota.

MEMBER BENEFITS     2008-09 Members

As a member of the Minnesota Volleyball Coaches Association, there are many opportunities available to both you and your players.  We currently sponsor numerous Player Awards which include: All-State Teams for each class, Team and Individual Academic All-State awards, and the High School All Star Match.  We also sponsor Coaches Awards including the Win Club which recognizes coaches who have reached benchmarks of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 victories as a high school coach; the Section and State Coach of the Year; and the Coaches Hall of Fame.  Our biggest event of the year is the annual clinic which is usually held during the first week of August and is attended by approximately 550 coaches.

We also represent you and the sport of volleyball at the Minnesota State High School League recommending and advising on rules, regulations, and policy changes that impact volleyball.  The Minnesota State High School Volleyball Championships are held in November each year and we give input on the scheduling and organization of the tournament.  In the past we have successfully worked towards allowing each team to have three tournaments as part of the 16 match schedule, scheduling varsity matches as three out of five contests, and expanded the state tournament to three days.
