Karch Kiraly has taken some of his business cards and will be using them for a visual representation of what needs to happen this week for the United States women’s volleyball team.

The U.S head coach has written numbers 1 through 9 on those cards as a visual aid signifying that if the United States can win nine sets of volleyball over three days, it will have reached its goal of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The United States got off to a good start on that goal with a 25-18, 25-18, 25-15 win against Canada on Thursday on the opening day of the NORCECA Olympic Qualification Tournament at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
