We were so excited to hear that they had enough girls at Bug's school to have a Volleyball team! Some years they don't, but enrollment has increased this year...mostly due to state mandates. I heard that they have nearly doubled in size since last year!
Bug's class has 15 kids in it, and a lot of them are girls so hopefully they'll be able to keep those numbers and have good sports teams while she is in high school!
She is loving being on the team and had no trouble making lots of friends quickly!
Their first game was an hour away so she rode the van with the team after school and we met them there. We bought a "family phone" for the girls to take with them to events like this so we can get ahold of them when we need to. She sent me this picture when we were on the way. :)
The game was actually closer to Grandma and Grandpa's house than ours so they were able to come! The girls were so excited!
I'm thankful she did the rec program this spring and was able to get a little experience playing! She does really well and has had lots of good saves and serves.
Unfortunately she hyper-extended her elbow so she's been hurting from that, but we got her a brace and she's toughing it out.
I didn't know how the little ones would do during the games, but they've managed pretty well. Sometimes they get a little squirmy. :)
And silly!
Lou kept calling out to Bug. Haha.
She stepped into the gym at lunch one day at school where they were playing dodgeball and got her glasses knocked off and broken. Daddy had glued them, but they fell off and broke again during the game so he quickly taped them together. :P
I have never been into volleyball before but I am really enjoying watching her play and learning more about the game!
Go Buggy! Your fan club loves you!
