Today the Sr. Girls Volleyball team travelled to a full day of matches within our District. In all, we played 6 games (best 2 out of 3) and had a chance to watch the other teams practice, warm-up and play. As the day was quite fast-paced, we did not have the opportunity to practice serving and hitting before each match and warm-up time was limited. The gym was cold, so it was important to stay warm when having a "break" in between matches.
Not to talk about the logistics of the day, or the benefits of staying warm and ready to play, I want to use this post as a shout out to the team.
Today I saw a group of young ladies really turn into a team. In our previous games, we were all over the place, losing points for being out of rotation and having quite a few holes in the court. Today I saw a different team. I saw a team dedicated to helping out one another, a team that knew each other's strengths and weaknesses and was willing to work with both. A team that corrected their mistakes and encouraged excellent skill. A team that wasn't individually driven, but driven as a team to achieve a common goal.
Overall, we had a very successful day. We won 5 of the 6 matches, and the match that we did not earn the title of "win" for, we did take to three sets with many great rallies and amazing hits and digs from both teams.
Was I a proud coach!
What was one of your most memorable moments as a coach or a supervisor of an extra-curricular activity?
