Kayda's Volleyball

This was Kayda's second season playing volleyball.  I got to be her coach again which was fantastic.  Without the least bit of bias, she was the best player on the team.  She worked really hard and could serve more consistently and had much more control over her passes than the other girls.  She also has sets.... BEAUTIFUL sets.  The team was grades 3-5 which was a bummer because having the newbies on the team kept me from moving my second round players as far as I would've liked.  She and Kennedi ended up being my go to girls to play besides my third graders who needed the extra help.  She is able to serve consistently over hand (a bullet by the way) back to about 20ft, then she switches to underhand.  We'll keep working on that next year.  She was frequently my girl that would step in to "save the day" when another player couldn't get there.  She had a blast and is really excited to play again.  Next year she'll be the young one in the age bracket, 6th-8th.  We'll get to move into more of the three hits and such as the girls learn more control, we're all pretty excited. 

 This is her go to face for underhand serve.  Every single picture Daddy took of her serving underhand ends up in this pose.  Cracks me up!

 Beautiful, simply beautiful!

 See!  There is is again!

 The mom that takes these pictures has the kids get into quite the poses.  She does a good job and I'm grateful she was willing to do it.  Left to right back row: Kayda, Ariana, Jordan, Ghianna, Madi May, RaeLee.  Front: Payton, Madi, Kennedi.  Many of the girls it was our second year together.  Though next year a few of them will be in the league below which is a bummer.

 After the last game we went to Dairy Queen for blizzards with the team.
