Well what an exciting 1st vball tourney for us! This is long but I don’t want to forget! After making the 7th grade vball team at Ramsey and LOVING it… Averi tried out for FSJ. She really wanted to get better to have a chance to make the 8th grade team next year at her school. And the place to do that is FSJ, a local competitive vball club. But after tryouts she was placed on the alternate team. She was so upset!! Things worked out to where the alternate kids were able to have a coach and able to play (THANK YOU COACH KIM) so now she is a member of FSJ 13-5. In all the setup they didn’t get as many practices as other teams but they were ready to give it a shot at their first tourney, Volley at the Ville. I think there were about 15 teams that were split into 3 pools of 5. We played our pool of 4 games and didn’t win a game. Not even a set. These girls were so big and so good and so fast! Our little ones hung in there though and gave them a good game! So the top 3 teams of each pool went ot the gold bracket and the bottom 2 teams of each pool (us) went to the silver bracket. 1st game of bracket play was close but we WIN BOTH SETS! And NOT ONLY THAT, Averi served the final 3 points of the 2nd set to win the game! I cried. Like legit cried! I will never forget the look on her face. All the girls were thrilled! It was SO EXCITING! The next game the girls kept it close but lost. They played SO well though that they were able to recognize how well they had done! I was so proud! We are off to Fville this weekend for another round….hope my heart can take it!
Enjoy the pics!
