Labor Day Practice

We will be practicing Monday, September 1st from 6:00-7:30 in the evening since we don't have school that day. This is needed to help us prepare for our first match with Central Cass the next day. Remember to eat a good meal with some pasta to help fuel up for the games!

Button Pictures

Wednesday, August 27th we will take time before practice to take pictures for buttons. I will be handing out forms for you to bring on that day.

Whew! One Week Down.

The girls had a great week of practice. We have put in a lot of material for the girls to digest, but they seem to be catching on nicely.

Don't forget to keep reviewing your material so you can be ready for practice when we start moving along at game pace. I am pleased with the progress you are making as far as technique goes for our many skills.

I am very proud of each of the girls for giving the team their best effort this week, lets keep up this hard working trend!

Enjoy your weekend off, but don't forget those sit-ups and push-ups!

Day 4

The girls are just clipping along with our serve receive rotation. It is a difficult concept to grasp, but once we have it down it will only help them in the long run as they continue their volleyball careers.

Everyone has their information slips into me and I have read all the goals the girls have written and I can see us reaching many of those goals by the end of the season if we continue to work hard like we have been.

Today we learned the value of communication in volleyball and we will continue to stress its importance and show examples of both verbally and physically communicating with our team mates.

Remember to keep up with your 25 push-ups and sit-ups each day. That will help you reach your goals in serving! Also if you are sore (which you should be!) keep stretching at home.

See you tomorrow at noon.

Day 2

Another good practice from all. I was impressed with our form during our first day of serving at the net. Keep in mind it all starts with a good toss and ends with the power from our legs working its way on out our arm.
Remember to keep stretching in the evening to help keep those newly worked muscles relax. We will be starting our serve receive formation in the next few days, so be prepared for more brain work on top of our brawn. As always keep asking questions and we will see you tomorrow at 4:oo.

First Practice!!

Wow! Did the girls come ready to practice. We had 17 girls working hard in every drill. I am super excited to see what we can do this year.

8th Graders...keep showing the leadership you showed today!
7th Graders...keep working hard and asking questions. Remember we have a lot to cover, but it will all start falling into place, so don't worry if you are overwhelmed at times...it will all make sense shortly.

See you tomorrow at 4:00.
