Volleyball Tournament
Today we did not do anything but sit around and wait for the volleyball tournament. With each passing minute I got more and more stressed. I wasn't sure if I was going to be playing on the same team as Hailey or on my own age team. Then I started to wonder if they were going to be amazing. When we got there Hailey found some team mates she knew so she went with them. Then Allen, the guy who coaches, asked if I was going to follow them. So I ended up playing on a 15 year old team. They do this weird thing called saucer. I did not really understand it until the second game. I did not play a lot in the first game but Allen made me play in the third set. Everybody was confused because of the weird rotation. Even with everybody confused we won. So before the second game he showed us how the rotation worked. We were much better in the second game. I got to play more and I got to serve. Serving is my stronger suit. My sister has been serving but missed some on purpose so she wouldn't serve the whole game. I thought that by serving I could redeem myself from the previous game. I served really good rockets at them and they could not return the ball. I won us a few points but then I saw we were getting close to 20 so I served it out the back. I felt that I had finally earned my place on the team. He wants me to continue to play on that team. He also said if I keep going to my age group practices he said he knew who he could use for demonstrations. He also said I should probably practice with the 15's too. I am not sure what I am going to do yet. I want to say thank you to all the coaches that taught me volleyball. If I didn't have the best coaches I wouldn't be as good.
