What. A. Weekend! NorStar Volleyball’s first-ever tournament is in the books, and we couldn’t have asked for a better debut. The NorCal Winter Classic, held January 18–20, was our debut tournament, and our teams came out ready to make a statement. Competing against some of the best teams in Northern California, our players battled hard and turned heads with their performance, achieving impressive results across all teams.
