Volleyball: 2020 FREE Sports Physicals at Twin Cities Orthopedics

7/2/20 – The 2020 Fall Season is coming on so fast! Make sure you have your sports physical requirements met as they are a requirement just to step on the court for try-outs. Sports physicals are good for 3 years (MSHSL Bylaw 107) but not a bad idea as a check-up before each season. To make all this easier, Twin Cities Orthopedics is offering Free Sports Physicals again this year in early August!

6/29/20 – It is with great excitement and anticipation for the coming MGVB season that we announce the final pieces of our coaching staff have been put in place! The curveballs from the current environment may have delayed our timetable, but I believe we have put together an excellent coaching staff that is ready to hit the ground running! We can’t wait for you to get to know them in more detail in the coming days!

Presenting our newest MGVB Coaches:

   -Coach Haileigh Sales – Freshman B Coach
   -Coach Jessie Miller – B-Squad Coach
   -Coach Kristen Kleven – JV Coach / Varsity Assistant
   -Coach DC Brown – JV Coach / Varsity Assistant

Please help me in welcoming out newest members of our Crimson Family!

With our staff in place, we are working to finalize summer and pre-season opportunities for the program! Additional details around Summer Information Meetings, Open Gyms, etc. will be coming this week! We greatly appreciate all of the open communication, patience, and support!

PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

Dear Crimson Volleyball Players and Families,

We hope this finds you and your family doing well during this unique time.  While we are all awaiting a chance to return to the court and to hear the sound of whistles again, our sponsors could use your support.  

Without the help of our sponsors we would not have been able to have the volleyball program we have had for our Crimson team. They have supplied us with our programs, our uniforms, our coaches, our special activities and even allowed us to raise funds for the Side-out Foundation which helps those in their battle with breast cancer. Many of our sponsors are local small businesses and have faced significant challenges over the past few months and some will continue to see the impact of COVID-19 for many more months. 

Let’s show our support and encouragement today to those who have supported us. Order takeout. Buy a few gift certificates. Refer them to a couple friends. Let them know we appreciate them for being a part of our team. As you find ways to support them please post pictures of your support on social media and tag @crimson_vb and use #ThankYouSponsors.

These fine organizations make what we do possible. Please show your support to these amazing sponsors and thank them for their commitment to our organization. 

Volleyball: Welcome our new Head Volleyball 

Coach Jamison Gray!

12/2/19 - Coach Gray is no stranger to the Crimson Family and is honored at the opportunity to take the reins as the new Head Varsity Volleyball Coach.

Gray was born and raised in northeast Ohio where he was a multi-sport athlete through high school and a Div I baseball recruit for Butler University.  With over 30 years of coaching and officiating experience across multiple sports, he has a deep passion for positive youth development and mentoring.  Gray started his volleyball coaching career here in Minnesota within the club volleyball scene in 2014 where he found a love for this sport and has never looked back.  He has spent the last 6 years coaching for Minnesota Select Volleyball Club and jumped at opportunities to find roles within USA Volleyballs High Performance Pipeline program. His high school coaching career began with a single season at Totino Grace HS before having the opportunity to come to Maple Grove.  Gray has spent the last 4 season as Varsity Assistant for the Crimson girls program and earned 2018 MSHSL Section 5AAA Assistant Coach of the Year honors.  Last year he took on the head coach role for the inaugural season of the Maple Grove Boys Club Volleyball program and is looking forward to helping the sport continue to grow.

Coach Gray works in supply chain management for General Mills and lives in Maple Grove with his wife and two daughters.  When he’s not in the gym, he loves spending time with his family, fishing and being outdoors.

He can’t wait to get back into the gym and drive this program to ongoing successes while motivating the athletes to reach for their full potential through hard work, respect and a love of the game they play.
