ESDAA Volleyball Tournament & NYSD Homecoming Soccer 2018 ESDAA Volleyball Tournament Program | Page 7

Dear ESDAA teams and Fans, Welcome to New York School for the Deaf, Fanwood, Home of the Tornadoes! This ESDAA Volleyball tournament brings a great deal of excitement to our schools and our student-athletes. While our athletes experience worthy opponents and competition on the courts, they also make new friends, renew old friendships and create fond memories that remain with them over the years. Also, student-athletes will have an opportunity to showcase their school spirit, teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, and individual athletic abilities. Student-athletes play your best and have fun! I would like to recognize our planning committee for their efforts in bringing this tournament to you. An enormous thank you to the dedicated volunteers for their diligent hard work and tireless hours of volunteering to ensure that everything is well under way. I would also like to thank our sponsors for their generosity. Without the dedication of all concerned, this volleyball tournament would not be possible. Good luck to everyone! Have a great time and I hope that you all leave White Plains, New York with a positive experience and fond memories of tournament competition that last for a lifetime. May the best team win!
