HAELLI OTT ENJOYS TIME ON COMMUNITY HOUSE VOLLEYBALL TEAM

The athletic teams at Community House Middle School have been at a major disadvantage this season.  With only seventh graders competing, the Cavaliers find themselves having to overcome a lack of depth and experience in each sport.  Despite the disadvantage, The Cavaliers give 110% in every sport.  Twelve year old Haelli Ott is one of the young leaders for the Cavaliers volleyball team. 

The daughter of Michael and Robbi Ott, Haelli has been playing volleyball for two years and continues to improve each game.  Standing nearly five foot three, Haelli has one advantage a coach can’t teach, height.

“I love playing here at Community House Middle School,” said Haelli.  “All of us know we are playing against older girls, but next year we should be able to win more games.  Our team will have more experience and the help of another grade on the team.”

Haelli plans to continue playing volleyball in high school.

“I look forward to becoming a better volleyball player and playing in high school.  All my teammates are sweet girls and we all play well together.  We try to stay positive and have a good time on the team.”

Haelli also enjoys competing on the team with her twin sister Madison.  The girls challenge each other to continue to improve on the volleyball court.

Away from the volleyball court, Haelli brings home report cards filled with A’s and a few B’s. During the summer she swims for the Thornhill Torpedos swim team.  In addition to swimming and volleyball, Haelli can be found in dance classes at Miller Street Dance Academy.
