 Coach Houser, Lauren, Sara & Caitlyn Dec 2008 at the annual family Christmas gathering in Danville, Va. |
 When Lauren's club team qualified for the J.O. National Tournament Coach Houser and his wife made it their summer vacation. Here they are standing beside the "not so" Great Salt Lake in July of 2005. |

 For the 5th year in a row, Coach Houser's club team reached the #1 ranking in the Old Dominion Region!! Here is his 2010 New River Valley 15's team during the April 17-18 Bid Tournament. The team just finished their favorite game, "Ninja". |

 The 2008 J.O. season was remarkable! Here we are after WINNING the Capitol Hill Classic without a single person over 5'10"! |
|
 Ok, so Coach Houser's 2007 Roanoke Juniors 15's team was a little different. But "normal" is boring, right? Here we are after the first day in the 16's division of Shamrock. GREAT JOB!!! |
|
 This is Coaccser's 2006 15N team at the Atlanta Aquarium!! The team qualified for the National Tournament by winning the Old Dominion Region Bid! |
 |
 |
| This was Coach Houser's 16's team in 2004. They went to Asheville and won the 16's division, finishing undefeated. In this picture, everyone seems to think "it's all Paige's fault!" | Coach Houser's 15's Junior Team "Spiked Punch" won a 16's tournament in March 2005 at Hollins! What a fantastic team!! |
 |
 |
| Coach Houser's stepdaughter Lauren played for Radford University in the fall of 2006 at an OH. The team won more matches than in the three previous years combined. | In the fall of 2006, the Radford University team was a great group of girls and parents! Here we are at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point NY. Lauren is #5. |
 Coach Houser (right) with his 2003 15's team after winning the silver division at Shamrock! Cool boxers!! Sponge Bob was our mascot that year! |
 Coach Houser's 3 seniors bought him a birthday cake back in February 1999 at Bassett High School. |
 Lauren, Caitlyn, Sara and Coach Houser at his mother's house on Dec 23, 2006 for a big family Christmas gathering. |
