DODEA-Europe volleyball standouts gathered this week in the Kaiserslautern Military Community for the organization’s fifth annual all-star event, capped Saturday by a pair of matches at Kaiserslautern High School.
A total of 32 junior and senior standouts from 16 schools across all three DODEA-Europe divisions were selected for the honor, including alternates.
Recently crowned Division I champion Ramstein earned an event-high four all-star selections, while Division I runner-up Stuttgart followed as one of several schools with three players on the roster.
The week’s schedule included practice sessions and team-building exercises ahead of Saturday’s two main-event matches.
