Rebecca's Volleyball Season

I previously posted a blog about Rebecca making the Middle School Volleyball Team (Click here for the blog on the Volleyball Play Day).

These are some pictures taken during the season. We were so glad she got this opportunity. She was by far the smallest and the youngest on the team, however, playing with these girls all season and learning under Coach Clark was excellent for her. By the end of the season, she had definitely improved and hopefully with a little growth and strength over the next year, she'll be a more valuable player as a 7th grader.


At the very first game of the season - Rebecca is number 20

Rebecca serving the ball. She is the only one on the team allowed to serve underhand. She continued to practice overhand and by the end of the season would occasionally get one over.

Another chance to serve...

I was able to go to the Pep Rally at the Middle School. We had an away match that afternoon so I came early to drive the girls and got to be there. The volleyball tam was announced first and it was really fun to hear Rebecca's name called out. We're very proud of her.

The girls went to an all day tournament (I was out of town with Christian at soccer and Matthew was with Julianna) and one of the girl's Moms took this picture of the team between games.

The Volleyball team sponsored the first dance of the year and they each had to make a poster. Rebecca and I worked very hard to make this and it turned out really good. Of course we had to take a picture of it!

I don't know if you can tell - I took this picture with my phone, but there was one game where the girls were not playing well and wouldn't really go for the ball. So when Coach called a time out, she made them all stay in this squatting position during the 60 second time out to help them remember to move to the ball!!!
