VolleyChips Bring Home Big Wins and Big Memories The VolleyChips had an incredible week filled with volleyball, team building, and most importantly, FUN! The team traveled to Alabama to compete in the McGill-Toolen Tournament and absolutely dominated the competition, returning home with an impressive 7–1 record. Facing talented teams from Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, the intensity was high and the competition fierce. Our girls rose to the challenge and represented Chapelle with skill, heart, and determination. Fans who want to relive the action can catch the games on our Hudl Fan Page, where matches were streamed live for supporters to cheer them on from near and far. But the week was about more than volleyball. While away, the team focused on strengthening their bond off the court as well. The kitchen turned into a competition arena for Chippy’s Grocery Games, where players were challenged to create a taco night side dish with only $10 and 30 minutes to cook. The results were phenomenal. Cilantro Lime Rice, Watermelon Salsa, and Street Corn were all prepared by the VolleyChips in a fun and fast-paced showdown. The culinary creativity continued when the team made jambalaya together, each player assigned one specific role. There was the Voice, the only one allowed to read the recipe and give directions; the Hype Woman; the Shopper; the Chopper; the Opener; the Transferer; the Taster; the Pourer; and even a blindfolded Stirrer. It was teamwork at its finest and full of laughter. The fun also included an eight-game pickleball tournament where players rotated partners each round. Smiles and competitive spirit filled the courts. Congratulations to Lanie for earning the overall tournament win. This season, the VolleyChips are reading Soup by Jon Gordon to learn about the importance of teamwork and the idea that everyone has an impact. Everyone stirs the pot to success, and that was clearly on display through all their achievements this week, both on and off the court. If this week is any indication, it is going to be a special season for the VolleyChips.
Chapelle Basketball Hosts Annual Summer Camp This summer, our Chapelle Basketball Program had the joy of welcoming over 40 young athletes to campus for our annual Basketball Summer Camp — and what a fantastic few days it was! For three action-packed days, campers worked on drills, developed new skills, and built confidence on the court. From ball handling and shooting fundamentals to teamwork and sportsmanship, each session was filled with energy, encouragement, and plenty of smiles. One of the highlights of camp was seeing our Chapelle players step into leadership roles. They loved sharing their passion for the game, mentoring the next generation, and creating an atmosphere that was both competitive and fun. Watching our current athletes inspire these young players was a beautiful reminder of what Chapelle athletics is all about — faith, teamwork, and heart. We are so grateful to everyone who participated and helped make this year’s camp such a success. The future of basketball is bright, and we are already counting down the days until next summer!
Serving Up Summer Fun at Chapelle Volleyball Camp 💚🏐☀️ Chapelle Volleyball Camps brought the perfect mix of skill-building, competition, and summer fun to campus this season! From our youngest campers to our elite athletes, the gym was filled with energy, teamwork, and plenty of Chipmunk spirit. 3rd–5th Grade Morning Session Our youngest campers kicked off their mornings with competitive games, volleyball-themed relays, and dynamic warm-ups designed to build strong fundamentals. With a fun “Under the Sea” theme and team “uniforms,” the girls combined skill development with creativity and team spirit. The camp focused not only on learning the basics of the game, but also on sportsmanship and teamwork. One of the highlights? Learning directly from our own VolleyChips, who helped lead drills and encouraged campers every step of the way. It was a week full of new friendships, growing confidence, and big smiles. 6th–7th Grade Afternoon Session The afternoons brought high-energy instruction with a true Chipmunk flair! Campers worked through advanced drills focused on improving passing, setting, and hitting while continuing to strengthen their overall volleyball IQ. The week wrapped up with an exciting Round Robin tournament, where teams battled it out to earn the title of Queen of the Court. The competition was fierce, but the fun and camaraderie made it an unforgettable experience. Elite Camp – Friday Friday’s Elite Camp delivered a full day of high-level competition and classic Chapelle fun. Campers participated in intense games while also enjoying Chapelle favorites like Chips and Sailors and the Hula Hoop Relay. With a festive Red, White, and Blue dress-up theme, the energy in the gym was unmatched. Each team was paired with a Chapelle volleyball player, giving campers the opportunity to receive personalized instruction and game-time tips throughout the day. It was a competitive, fast-paced, and inspiring environment — the perfect way to elevate skills and experience Chapelle Volleyball at its best. From beginners to elite athletes, Chapelle Volleyball Camp showcased what makes our program so special: skill development, leadership, school spirit, and a whole lot of fun. We loved welcoming these future Chipmunks to campus and can’t wait to see them back in the gym soon! 💚🐿️🏐
