The Oden Sisters, Kim, Elaina and Bev have a great website dedicated to answering volleyball questions and to the presentation of their Volleyball Instructional videos and DVD's that will be available shortly.
Their site features rarely seen family photos of the sisters as little girls.
The only sister I didn't have the privilege of playing with is Bev the youngest but Elaina and I were teammates in Italy and Kim and I were on the National Team and one or two first place Manhattan Beach 6man team together as well as opponents on the Budlight Fours and in Italy. They both use to come to my ex fiancee's home in fidenza Italy and we'd all hang out together and watch American videos.
Elaina was recently named to the NCAA 25th Anniversary Team.
Talk about women who can teach you how to play! This is a phenomenal idea to put their cumulative knowledge of the sport together and share it from the basic beginning level to the advanced level.
Make sure to check out their site www.odensisters.com! Also check out Elaina's story "A Pitchfork at My Backside" and Kim's "Be Proud" testaments of what they endured while growing up to become the best in the world at their sport. You will find their stories in the Volleyball Voices section of this blog.
