History is in the making at Forsyth Technical Community College this Saturday as the Trailblazers Volleyball team prepares to take the court for their inaugural game. The Trailblazers will host the Carolina University JV team at 2 p.m. at West Campus (1300 Bolton Street, Winston-Salem, NC) in what promises to be an exciting start to their program.

The energy on campus has been palpable as the team has been practicing under the guidance of Head Coach Sarah Weavil. Weeks of intense training, team building, and game planning have culminated in this highly anticipated moment.

“The girls have been working very hard for the last few weeks. It is exciting to see their personalities and the friendships growing,” said Coach Weavil. “Each and every day we keep getting better and I strongly believe that I am not the only one excited and more than ready to kick this show off. The girls are more than ready to make their mark on the court.”

The Trailblazers boast a diverse roster with players bringing a variety of skills and experiences to the court. Coach Weavil has emphasized the importance of teamwork and communication, fostering a supportive environment where each player can contribute their strengths.

Beyond the action on the court, fans can look forward to a special celebration as we will be celebrating the birthday of our beloved mascot, Blaze! Come out and enjoy some birthday cupcakes as we get the season started.

The match against Carolina University JV is expected to be a good test for the young Trailblazers squad. While it’s their first official competition, the team is eager to showcase their hard work and represent Forsyth Tech with pride. Tickets are available here.
