“I’ve always liked volleyball, and I wanted to keep playing after high school. M State was close to home, so I knew I could commute and save money. I’d recommend playing sports to anyone – it’s fun to meet new people and play alongside others. You really get close with your teammates.”

“Sports give you a different kind of college experience. I like the friendships I get out of it, and the hard work we put into it – and it helps us stay in shape during school. We make so many amazing memories together; these friendships will hopefully last a lifetime.”

“I enjoy being active and getting to meet new people who also enjoy doing what I like to do. I learn a lot about communication and teamwork. The program is pretty flexible, too – even if you’re not on the Fergus Falls campus, you can still fit the sport into your schedule.
