More than 13 high school volleyball players took part in the open gym workout Monday at the Tucumcari Middle School gym.
"I was happy with the turnout for the first day of summer open gym," said Dana Benavidez, Lady Rattlers varsity coach.
Benavidez said there was a mixture of athletes who came out to take part in the event. She said for the event, there were several freshman, a few new additions of upperclassmen and the return of four starters so far.
Benavidez said many of the players who took part in the open gym will be traveling to camps the next two weeks to improve their skills.
She said on Thursday through Saturday players will be involved in an individuals camp at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. On July 12-14 the team will travel to Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado for a team camp.
