Former Wisconsin Badgers Kelli Bates and Haleigh Nelson aren’t finished with volleyball yet. The two athletes have signed contracts to play professional volleyball in Venelles, France. Bates actually had a job lined up in the Madison area after her graduation in May, but decided to go overseas. Nelson had played beach volleyball in Louisiana while she obtained her master’s degree. Bates and Nelson are represented by sports agent Charlotte Harris with Connect Management Group in Sweden and Harris managed to get the two former Badgers on the same team. They are set to report later this month.
