Eight weeks of practice on Tuesday nights and Thursday evenings and of course the match on Saturdays has come to an end until the first week of December when we start all over again. These kids did wonderful. The team consisted of four 7th graders and 6 6th graders. This was the first time any of these kids played competitive volleyball through the YMCA. They had a season losing record of 1 and 7 and they did lose the first game of the single elimination tournament this morning, but their attitudes were positive and they had fun. The coaches have done wonders with these kids teaching them the fundamentals of the sport in a way that kept the kids interest.
The winter season begins December 9 and The Bear hounded me until I showed her the receipt confirming her registration! This child had not played volleyball until last summer with the YMCA’s recreational league. She enjoyed it enough to try out for the team at school. She didn’t make the team, but did make it through two weeks of tryouts and three cuts before she was let go. Go Bears!
Thank you big sisters for practicing with the baby!
