On the weekend of Januaury 26, teams competed in Dubuque County in volleyball, soccer, and swimming.Some of the players such as Atalissa Moore, who plays volleyball at Maquoketa High School says it provides a way to challenge themselves and their team outside of normal competitions.

Moore said “I mean we’ve definitely had to battle with a lot of different things like we are on a completely different roster with our high school compared to our club right now so we’re just going along with the challenges and the bumps in the road and just making sure everybody’s learning and getting better.”

The Winter Iowa Games will continue through February with events like Skiing, Ice Hockey, and Basketball.
