Excerpt from my Ferndale volleyball Facebook page:

The story behind this whole “unicorn” business in Ferndale Volleyball 2018 history…..

Way back at the start of the season, I was interviewed by a local newspaper. As per usual, I was speaking in “elementary school counselor speak” about my magical and unique team calling them my unicorns. Then I quickly asked the reporter to not use that line in his actual article….I came back to the girls a bit embarrassed at my terms and told them this story. They laughed (at me) and we moved on…..

The next day, I got some excited texts from the players highlighting that the reporter not only used the phrase, but included it in the headline of the article, “Ferndale Volleyball enters Unicorn year”. ?‍♀️

We have since fully embraced this label of ? magic, glitter, and unique-ness ? because truly this team and the loving hearts that create it are something we need to honor and not take for granted. The amount of talent is there yes….but the amount of hard work, character and care for each other is a RARE find for a team as talented as this one. I teach the girls to take every day and moment and practice as an opportunity they will never get back to enjoy each other and improve in this safe environment…..and they have done that each step of the way.

So Tuesday night at our home district match, the theme is unicorns. And as the rainbows, horns, and glitter fill our home gymnasium, we hope you will feel part of this “something special” we have going and come along for the ride. #hornsup #unicornszn #ferndalevolleyball
