Leif Storvik is well remembered
for his leadership in volleyball in the Badger Region and at the National
level. Leif gave countless hours to the sport of volleyball and always made
sure whatever he did was done right. His quiet, yet determine and uncanny
ability to solve any problem made him a great ambassador for the game of
volleyball. He was very supportive and complimentary. Leif will be remembered as one of the true
nice guys of the game, yet he played very competitively while still having fun.
The Badger Region Volleyball

those individuals, teams or organizations who have made a positive impact to
the sport of volleyball.
Congratulations to all of these individuals and to all of those in our region who continue to do a great and selfless job throughout the year to promote and teach the sport we love!
