This summer Princess joined a volleyball team. She was the youngest and smallest girl on the team, and the only one who had never played volleyball before. From the very first day of practice, the coach and assistant coach spent alot of individual time with her. To be honest, at first she was quite bad, but it didn't take long for us to see some improvement in her skills. By the fourth game, she was able to serve the ball over the net. And the last game of the season, she had her first volley back over the net. Several of her team mates gave her high fives after that point! It was so sweet and I was so proud, I actually teared up!
The most amazing thing is that she wants to continue and play another season! This is the first time she has ever liked a sport well enough to sign up for a second season. I attribute that to the great coaches who worked with her and encouraged her so much. So, we've got 7-year old volleyball games and 4-year old soccer games occupying our Saturday mornings this fall. Sounds good to me!
