Hey, where''d the week go?
It was here somewhere just a minute ago.
Anyway, I owe lots of you thanks for your thoughtful responses about the sports team question I had.
Busy Girl tried out for club (travel) volleyball a couple of weeks ago.
It's very competitive, so we had no idea how things would turn out, especially since she's not played club before (the season she just finished was the school team).
She's very good, but didn't have a stellar night at the second night of tryouts, so we were pretty sure she'd make a third team (1 being best).
Nothing's wrong with the 3rd team. but since she is already a freshman she has some catching up to do with those who have played for years and I want her to have as much instruction and practice as possible.
Her school is very competitive in the sport and is in the state finals most every year, so making junior varsity even is not a given.
She made the 3rd team at choice B (more competitive club), but we hear they may be moved up and we might get the best of both worlds (/Hannah Montana) giving the club two 2 teams which has more practices and competition.
Gah, that was a long fluffy way to say thanks for your thoughts and my kid plays some sport.
*************
p.s. If you want this discount, I hear (much to my chagrin) tomorrow may be the last day for this particular one.

We have our volleyball tryouts on Sunday. My 10-year-old is sure to make the 12s team...helps that Dad volunteered to coach her. She is a good player. She has learned a lot the past two seasons of recreational volleyball. My oldest is trying out for 13s...could be tough for her. She's only 4' 11". She's a good server, but some of the kids she will tryout with are quite tall. I guess someone has to have my height challengs.
My DD picked the tougher team, it is regional with an opportunity to go national later. Like next season later. A part of me is sad because this is probably the end of Irish dance, which she's been in since she was 4, but it is her decision. She'll still do Irish dance, but I doubt she'll be as into the competition side.
::sigh::
Good luck this year! Our parent meeting is December 7th. I have a ton to learn about this, so we'll see what happens.
I have a volleyball.
(I'm just trying to fit in)
Them's the A, B, C's
My good friend's daughter played club volleyball in high school, followed by a Division 1 scholarship to play in college. I don't know if that's where your daughter is headed, but I wish her luck in the sport!
Whoo wee!! I never hear anyone in blogland talk about club volleyball. Both my daughters are in it. It costs a small fortune though! Our uniform fee is, get this $180 PER CHILD! I am about to check the link out on your post. I wish you a great day :)
Enough already. I am so sick of hearing about JCA. I think they own the Herlad News.
My 10 yo made the 12s team. My 12 yo made the 13 and under team. A happy day for the MomontheRun household! Now to get a paying gig to pay for the fees...
