volleyball

On a whim, we signed Emma up for volleyball. At the 11th hour (they were shutting down registration in 30 minutes). Her friend was going to be playing and her mom called me to see if we were interested. Funny enough, the friend dropped out after a week but Emma is still going...

Emma is tall. She is athletic. She has a lot going for her that I never did. She just is good at sports. And oh MAN is she competitive (that came from her dad). So, while it was a rough start because she had no idea how to play (and Spencer and I weren't very good helpers with this particular sport) she jumped right in.

We have some rough/sad/emotional times because the coaches give her more feedback and constructive criticism than anyone else on the team...times ten. We have determined this is because she has the most potential. We bought her a volleyball and are helping as much as we can. {That's not a lot.}

When she plays, she looks pretty amazing. I have wondered a few times already if she has a future in this sport. High school maybe? I wouldn't be surprised. And I am definitely proud of her for trying something new. These tall people need to play those tall-person sports!
