Soccer may be Sadie's first love, but her second is volleyball & now that she is in 7th grade, she is finally old enough to play. Try outs started the 2nd day of school & by the end of the week, they cut around 40 girls. Sadie was so excited she made the cut! She brought a friend home & we celebrated that night:
We already had the sign, but I surprised her & had the volleyball when she came home. We took the girls out to dinner that night to celebrate & then it was Pink's spirit night at Handel's so of course we celebrated again with ice cream:
The next week we had 2 more days of try outs before they posted which team the girls made & she was so excited to find out she made the A team! Volleyball may not be her main sport like other girls, but she is a hard worker & loves the game so we were so proud of her!
I found out the same day she made A team, that I was one of the volleyball team moms also. I frantically met the other 2 moms & we came up with a plan to decorate the locker to surprise the girls before their first game:
They had their first scrimmage Thursday night & I was surprised when I walked into the gym for the B & C teams to find her calling lines:
Then it was game time! You could tell she was nervous but eventually she relaxed & just had fun playing with her friends:
Obviously she is a defensive back row player. They don't 100% have positions yet but she would love to be a libero:
and her serves were on point!
Afterwards we celebrated with a few of her friends:
before heading to Andy's for ice cream!
I have a feeling it's going to be a fun season & a change of pace from being outdoors at soccer all the time!
