The Cape volleyball team held its annual Play Day at the Beach Aug. 29, when the Vikings invited nine quality teams to battle it out in competitive scrimmages to see where they need to be for the start of the 2026 season.
Teams played a 40-minute timed match. Cape started off with Delaware Military Academy, then followed with Ursuline, Conrad, Tower Hill and finished the day with Caravel, which is coached by Cape grad Mike Leclerc.
“It was another successful day for us," said Cape coach Tyler Coupe. "We got girls in different positions to keep seeing which combo works best together. I thought after the first few minutes of the opening scrimmage versus DMA our serving applied steady pressure throughout the day.
"Our blocking will be more of a focus in weeks to come, working with our middles to do their best to close with the pin. Our communication with each other continues to go in waves. We’re a mature team in the sense we have several returning starters, but we’re a relatively mild-mannered team. Looking to see what combo of us can become consistent leaders on the court."
The Vikings will play a four-team scrimmage Wednesday, Sept. 2, at Sussex Central before opening the 2026 campaign Thursday, Sept. 10, at home against Sussex Tech.
