Annie has volleyball camp this week, and of course most days end with us playing for a couple of evening hours in the driveway. Her abilities have grown substantially since I made previous volleyball videos, and Annie asked if we could make one of her practicing in the driveway. So, we did! It shows her going through drills at home, as well as the necessary goofing off that we do... She has come a long way since she first picked up a volleyball one year ago, and she has not quite reached eleven, yet!

The video is shown here, but it will be bigger if you go to YouTube...



During camp, I have been so proud of her! She jammed her thumb Monday when we were playing at home, and it has been hurting her every day. Nonetheless, she has performed beautifully. I was grinning from ear to ear today when they broke the girls up for training with the sixth and seventh graders in one group, and the eighth graders in another group. Eighth graders plus Annie... Yes, although she is tall for her age, she is generally much shorter than the eighth graders, but she was stellar! She was generally more consistent with her passes and sets than all of the eighth graders except for one, with whom she played in her comp league.

I am so pleased that she has found something that inspires her and motivates her to do something and always strive for something more.


Proud... so, proud...
