Karch Kiraly at Big House Sports - Colorado Springs event photographer

Today we had the pleasure of meeting volleyball legend Karch Kiraly! Karch is the assistant coach for the USA women's volleyball team. Since the team was in town to practice this weekend, The owners of Big House Sports invited Karch to com out and speak with the youth teams.

The kids colored the sidewalks to welcome Karch:

The kids watched a video about Karch -- it's hard to believe that the peak of his career was happening before many of them were born!
