Assistant General Counsel, Renee Cleary, was selected by USA Volleyball to be one of two female beach volleyball players to represent the USA in the North, Central American, and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation's (NORCECA's) events in Guatemala and Puerto Rico. NORCECA is the continental confederation that represents its thirty-five (35) member countries at the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) level. The FIVB is responsible for, among other things, the staging of Olympic and World Championship zone qualification tournaments, as well as continental championships for both men and women in Indoor and Beach Volleyball. "We're very excited to have been selected and are looking forward to representing the United States," said Cleary. From April 16-22, Cleary will be playing in Guatemala City, Guatemala with Jenny Kropp, a former All America middle hitter from Nebraska and a member of the 2000 NCAA Women's Collegiate Volleyball Championship team. Then from May 18-20, Cleary will team up in San Jose, Puerto Rico with Jennifer Lombardi, a participant in last year's World University Games.

DocMagic, Inc. together with USA Volleyball and Native Sunglasses will sponsor Cleary at NORCECA's events. When asked if she was ready to compete, Renee responded,

"We've been training with a coach since October so this provides us with a solid foundation. My partner puts up a big block, which will likely frustrate many teams, so I need to be ready to move on defense.. Also, a key to any victory is serving tough. You can't give your opponents easy points. Our goal is to come home with a medal."

Last year, Cleary was ranked as the California Beach Volleyball Association's number one ranked AA player, as well as a top 30 AAA player.

Good luck, Renee! You've made all of us at DocMagic proud.
