Coach Pat Mooney is pleased to announce the new incoming class of signees for the team of 2010-2011.
They are Alexis Pomeroy, a middle blocker from Desert Ridge High School, Amrie Stapley, a setter from Queen Creek High School, Samantha Horst, a libero from Queen Creek High School, and Taylor Bingold and outside hitter from Perry High school.
This is the first time before the NJCAA signing date that Coach Mooney has had a full class of commitments from recruits and to celebrate, they chose December 1st for a team signing party. Combining the talent from this incoming class and the experience from the seven returning players, next year’s squad looks to be a force in the conference again!
Coach Mooney stated: “I think now we have the caliber of student-athletes like these 4 who are now looking at South Mountain as their first option to continue their educational and playing careers based on our success this season, and I cant wait to start working with them... August 1st can't come soon enough!”

Coach Mooney is very excited to announce the South Mountain Community College 2010-2011 team tryouts. The tryout will only be held on one day and you need to be here the entire time listed. We will have between 2 and 4 positions open for next year's team. We will need at least 1 new athlete in each position next season. We are looking for intelligent, aggressive, competitive, athletic, mature, responsible, & motivated players who play because they love the game and love to work hard, not just to play for a scholarship.
Every athlete trying out needs to fill out and bring the form below:
If under eighteen, you will need to have a parent also sign the tryout waiver.
