Volleyball Week 1

Mariah joined a beginner's Rec League Volleyball team. This is her first time playing Volleyball outside of P.E. She hopes to someday make the middle school team.


The first picture of the day at warm-ups
shows we have a long way to go!
But the longest journey begins with just one step,
or one bump as the case may be


Mariah's First Serve


Out on rotation, three of four Girl Scouts
on the team who also went rock climbing today (and perhaps ate one too many Oreos)Coach giving Mariah on-the-court Serving 101

She made some nice serves, and some that didn't
make it over the net, and some that went out of bounds,
but with practice, she can do it!
A Volley!!!

Mariah's team won 2 of 4 games today,
and they did well considering it was the first game for many of them.

I love when kids try different sports! I think that is a great goal to play for the Middle School. :) GO RIAH!

That is awsome. She looked so afraid of the ball in that first picture. By the end she is looking like a pro. By no time she will make the middle school team.
