Volleyball, Week 4
I'm beginning to sense a pattern.
Week 4: 3 wins, 1 tie
The funny thing is that it is a different group of girls each week. The team officially has 6 players. We play 4 on the court at a time. However, one has had to drop for the season and each week we usually have one or two missing. Last Saturday two of the girls were taking the PSAT test at school (including Bethany). That left us with 3 players. As we have done in the past, we rotated in a player from another team that had extras. They sent us a different player each game. Despite having a "cold" player on the team, the girls were still able to perform well.
The first game started slow, but when they were down by 8 points they seemed to get motivated. We ran out of time and ended the game at 26 to 26 (games are to 25, but you have to win by 2 points). The other games were all clear wins.

Awsome! It sounds like they are really a flexible team and with the low person count they are getting some pretty good skills.
I am still amazed that they are not keeping score.

They do keep score to see who wins each game, but do not track standings. There are no playoffs. We track how we are doing, but do not have anything that compares us to the other teams in the league.
It's just for fun, but the kids know if they are doing well or not. The nice thing is that this means that the kids would prefer to lose a close game to a good team then to wipe out a poor team. The latter game is not as much fun.
