Summer camp alumns reunite at air base tourney
A recent tournament of Europe-located US Department of Defence high school teams held at RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk brought several VbDC camp alumni back to England. Coach Brian Swenty, who has led two summer camps, brought his girls varsity squad from the US Army base at Vilseck, in southern Germany.
Swenty’s team, listing several freshmen starters from a school of just over 400 students, held their own against schools more than twice that size, including a tight-scoring three-set loss to the tourney’s dominant team from Kaiserslautern Germany, which had two more VbDC camp veterans on its roster: Bella and Marlee are ow in their freshman year, the athletes – who have attended two summer camps each – are already sharing starting setter duties for their varsity team.
The K-Town–Vilseck game was described as Kaiserslautern’s toughest match of the two-day event. Swenty and other coaches expressed an interest in partnering with VbDC to form an all-star travel team for a summer youth tournament in Europe in 2025.
