A ball, a net and a few girls...

Julianne had the opportunity to play volleyball this fall at the middle school she attends.  Because of the number of girls that participate the girls play intramural volleyball in 6th and 7th grade, with 8th graders as team captains.

Julianne did a fabulous job! She learned a lot and improved as the season went on.  They had about 2 weeks of practices before the games started.  They played every Wednesday for 4 weeks.  And, now that the season is over at school, it's time to practice at home!

Watching Julianne brought back a lot of memories of my days of playing volleyball.  It also brought plenty of confusion for, a LOT has changed since I played.  I have kept up on most things, but a few things I didn't quite follow.

Towards the end of the season we were lucky enough to head to Denver and watch the USD Coyotes play volleyball.  It was a great mother/daughter day for Julianne and I.  We both also saw quite a few new things during the volleyball match.  Go Yotes!

Her are a few pictures from Julianne's volleyball games...
