Club Volleyball: First Practice in the Books!

Finally! And with the icy cold weather I am once again thrilled that this is not the clubsoccerdad blog. No standing in a pelting rain, no parka's, just a nice warm gym with a little beer garden they set up for the parents. OK, I lied about the beer garden, but if I was the director....

I liked the practice. The girls never scrimmaged; it was learning drills and positioning and all the stuff a team needs to have down pat. Fundamentals. I am a big proponent of fundamentals.

The 15's team that Kate is on applied to be in Power League, but the director said they are waiting to hear back...is it a lottery or something? Wish I knew how these things worked. One practice a week until January when it jumps to 3X. Hitters clinic on Sunday followed by a team dinner. They want to go to Red Robin...now I'm not at all sure how we're going to get 25 people into Red Robin at 7 pm on a Sunday and mentioned that to Kate and she told me to just "try to not do everything and let someone else make the plans." Ummm....OK. Not my nature! I had to remind myself that this is the new, calm, sports dad. Speaking of which...did not see many dads at practice. C'mon guys!

All in all, it was a fun first practice. I really hope we do Power League, but it is what it is. Have a nice weekend, all!
