This summer, Rebecca attended a volleyball camp that was put on by Greenbrier High School Lady Cats volleyball team. They've had back to back state championships and have an awesome team and coach. Rebecca really loved the camp and we even talked to the coach about some leagues for her age. We looked into it and everything seemed to be for older kids.
I was driving around in Goodlettsville and a small sign caught my eye and said they had a volleyball league through their Parks & Recreation for 10-13 year old girls!! We called right away and got put first on the waiting list. We got a call a few days later that she could join a team if she wanted to. We went right away and signed her up.
The main advantage of this working for our already busy schedule was that they would practice for one hour on Tuesday nights until the season started and then once the season started, they would only have weekly games on Tuesday nights. Since the guys are gone to soccer each Tuesday night, it worked fine for us girls to do volleyball.
Her season was (games) was about 7 weeks long. This past Tuesday, they had a tournament with the four teams and our season is now over. She loved it. It was so fun watching her do something new and seeing her improve. I have a feeling, we'll be doing this again this spring.
Here are some pictures. Remember that we're in a gym and the lighting is pretty bad, so there are a few blurry shots, but I tried to pick out some good ones!

Rebecca on her way to her first volleyball match
Getting subbed into the game for the first time
Rebecca's first serve (This did not go over, however she began practicing at home and even lifting some 3 pound weights and by the end of the season, most of hers were going over!)
Trying to set the ball
Focus
I love this picture. Matthew says she's not supposed to jump but I think it's cool!
Concentrating on her serve
About to bump the ball (by the way, can you tell she'd been at Aunt Cassie's that day? Nice french braid!)
Looking good
Dad and Christian were able to make a couple of games. There were a couple of nights that he would call me after soccer practice and they were in the 3rd game so the guys jumped on the interstate and rushed down and saw the last game or two. They also got to see a full match during Fall Break!
