VB to Sign 10-Year-Old Daniella on Tuesday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte 49ers volleyball team will welcome Daniella, a local 10-year-old girl from Matthews, as the newest member of the program on Tuesday afternoon. Daniella, who was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome two years ago, comes to the Niners from Team IMPACT.

"We are thrilled to have Daniella join the 49er volleyball program as a 2018 addition," began Head Coach Karen Weatherington. "She's the type of player every team wants. Daniella exhibits the courage, toughness and has shown she can overcome adversity."

Two years ago over winter break, Daniella started experiencing pain in her foot and doctors couldn't figure out why.
