What these girls have been up to

Three of our girls recently finished out a very busy volleyball season.

Usually a game a week, but at the height of the season,

sometimes two or even three games a week.

They worked hard, learned lots of new skills, improved their play,

and enjoyed the teamwork and comradery!!
They traveled sometimes up to two hours from home to play other schools.

We are a tiny homeschool co-op, and several of the girls joined the team

mid-way through the season.

My youngest is the youngest on the team at 9 years old and in the 4th grade.

The oldest is 18 and a senior.

My second oldest daughter is also a senior on the team.

But even with the broad age range,

the young team members,

and those with very little team play,

these amazing girls managed to win the last 11 games in a row!!!

Playing full varsity teams of established private schools!

We couldn't have been more amazed at their tenacity and sportsmanship!

Their willingness to support and encourage each other!

This when the oldest team member and sister lost their home

and all their belongings in a terrible house fire near the end of the season.

They never gave up!

Ever.

Even when they lost a set or had a bad serve.

They always encouraged each other and kept up happy, encouraging attitudes!

I'm ever so thankful for their wonderful coach who worked tirelessly

for these girls and spent hours mentoring and planning and teaching them!!
