Club Volleyball: T minus 2 Days

Having just been woken from my club volleyball blog silence (thanks SBL!) I turn now to something of great importance: the bleacher chair I ordered a week ago has not arrived. And tryouts start Thursday! Funny what you focus on in times of stress, and for some odd reason I am feeling a little stressed. Soccer wrapped up on Saturday and we are having our team party tonight. When I asked Kate if she was fired up for Tuesday, she said "what's Tuesday?" "The soccer party," I replied. "Oh," she sighed, "I'm only thinking about volleyball now." That made me smile. It seems like it is taking forever for tryouts to begin, but begin they do with our first one scheduled for Thursday. 2 more on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. I have my ideas on which team I'd like Kate to play for, but there seem to be lots of things going on in my head. The Thursday tryouts are for a team considered a step below the other teams, but wonder if she doesn't get asked to be on this team. That will not bode well for the rest of the weekend. If she is asked and we say maybe because we want to see how the other tryouts go, wonder if they say 'we can't hold a spot' and then she does not make the other teams and we then have nothing? I know I'm overthinking this; all I want for Kate to do is to do her best, have fun, take it all in, and we'll let the chips fall where they may. As a complete newcomer to this, I will say that at first glance, the whole club volleyball tryout system with overlapping times etc. seems crazy. There has to be a better way. I am looking forward to observing the process. Kate is probably nervous too, but I know she's ready and we've taken in everyone's great advice about being enthusiastic and energetic and coachable and talked about it and the weekend is upon us. Now if only my chair could arrive!
