  • USA Profile.Qxd
    USA TEAM PROFILE - Women’s The USA women’s national Volleyball team has nearly completed its third year of the quad- rennial intent on building upon the success it has enjoyed with head coach Toshi Yoshida, since 2000. In 2001 the United States captured the gold medal at the World Grand Prix, followed in 2002 by the silver medal at the Women’s Volleyball World Championship. But 2003 is seen as the most important year because teams can begin qualifying for the 12 available slots at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. The first qualifier being the World Cup in Japan. So far USA collected bronze at the 2003 World Grand Prix and at the Pan Am Games before claiming the gold medal at the NORCECA Continental Championships. However, despite the recent success, Yoshida insists that the players maintain their focus on the ultimate goal—winning a gold medal in Greece. This season Yoshida has had everyone back from the team he took to the 2002 World Championships, including the tournament’s Best Blocker Danielle Scott; outside hitters Logan Tom, Keba Phipps and Tayyiba Haneef; middle blocker Heather Bown; and libero Stacy Sykora. All but Haneef have prior Olympic experience.
