alright lets agree to stop quoting the massive picture lol, all it says is 'born and raised' she couldve moved near munciana recently within the last year or so... they didn't say she still lives in socal. unless someone on here knows that she does in fact still live there She plays for two club vball teams and flies back and forth. that's very strange then... there's so many clubs just as good if not better than munciana that are much closer to socal... there's also really high level clubs IN socal... Coast, sunshine, wave, storm, rockwood, TAV, skyline, KC power, Drive nation, dynasty, etc are all considerably closer than muncie and many of them better... I wonder how that arrangement came to be

I wonder how that arrangement came to be Her parents own and run Supernova Volleyball Club in SoCal. Would be pretty hard to say "Play for us, but our club isn't strong enough for our own kid". They did consider having her play at a few other local clubs, but opted against it. So, my guess is they decided on Munciana because they were fine with her only being there periodically, as Munci has made that arrangement with other athletes previously.

Mom (Morgan Wallen-Wijay) played for Munciana and grew up in Muncie, Indiana before going to the University of Houston.
That's the connection but it's still pretty perplexing why she travels this far to play.

Parents out there writing big enough checks to get their daughter’s high school coach fired but we think a few grand in airfare to play for a top club with a top coach is super weird? Is this even close to the extremes taken by the parents of gymnasts or swimmers? Top travel baseball teams are made up of kids from all over the country. There are plenty more extreme examples than this across youth sports. Remember the old saying: Hell hath no crazy like a parent trying to get Jimmy/Susie a scholarship.
