Volleyball is underway for this year and we've had a few weeks to prepare for our first tournament that was today. I've got pretty much the same girls I had last year. (We had a really young) team last year, so it is nice to be playing a girls our own age finally.

A shoutout goes to Bethany for coming and helping me with practice on Thursday. I think she had fun and it was really good for the girls.

Today we had our first tournament of the season. We played pretty well. (The girls had the jitters during the first match, but got into the groove after the first match. I had the jitters a bit too, but I got over it a lot quicker than the girls did.)

The game results were as follows (them means they won, us/bold means we won):

• Hillcrest
•      25-17 (them)
•      25-14 (them)
• St. Anthony
•      25-21 (them)
•       17-25 (us)
• Toca
•       23-25 (us)
•       22-25 (us)
• Bonneville
•       17-25 (us)
•       20-25 (us)

The girls played well, but were pretty tired by the end of the tournament, so we'll work on conditioning some more. So we start the season out 3 and 1. Not a bad start.
