Volleyball Filled Weekend

Mallory, Rachel and Taylor all played on different teams at five different locations in and around Williamsburg this weekend.

Taylor usually plays on a 12 year old team, but moved up to play with the 13 year old team for this tournament. Taylor did great for someone who is just learning how to play. Her team did not do so great, they didn't win a single game, but Taylor did get to play a lot.

Rachel's team only won two games on Satuday, but came back on Sunday winning three out of four games in the morning to make it into the top playoff bracket. In the playoffs, the team from Saturday came back and they lost, but at least won one out of the three games in the match. Rachel is showing great improvement from the beginning of the season. She will become a stronger player as her confidence in her ability to play builds.

Mallory had her best tournament yet. Joe saw more of her games than I did, but he said she was an all-city contentor this weekend. He got lots of great video footage so we can start working on her college video footage for this summer/fall. I will get to see more of her games when I download the video to the computer tonight. Her team also lost in the first round of playoffs. Mallory was disappointed to go out so quickly after playing so strongly in previous matches.

We have next weekend off from volleyball and then we have volleyball for the next three weekends after that. Taylor should play with the 13's team again on Apr. 7th. Mallory plays on the 14th. Rachel and Taylor both play on the 21st.
