Erie, Pa. – Edinboro volleyball team members Angela Groshner, Ellie Lininger and Megan Osysko along with head coach Missy Soboleski recently donated their morning to help teach their sport to the students at the Barber Center. As part of the Barber National Institute, the Erie location provides children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families the education, support and resources needed to be self reliant, independent and valued members of their community.
The Fighting Scots began each session with a brief demonstration of their talents before turning the court over to the students. After assisting with warm-ups and stretching, they helped the students with their forms and skills as volleyball players. After the skills session, Lininger, Groshner and Osysko participated in some games with the students with an oversized, inflatable ball to make for an enjoyable experience for all featuring lots of laughs and smiles.
