Another VB Tourney

I couldn't keep my eyes open long enough to post pictures after yesterday's volleyball tournament. Those are long days! We have to arrive when the doors open around 7:30am, and we don't leave until our team is done with all our games and assignments. We weren't done until after 6pm and didn't get home until after 8. It's hard to spectate all day. :) I don't know how Danielle managed to stay awake on the ride home. She played in 5 volleyball games yesterday and all but one of those went to a third tie-breaker set. That's a lot of volleyball. Her team did really well and made it to the gold bracket but lost in the semi-finals. Danielle did pretty good. She had the last few winning serves in a few of the games. That's always fun. Her team played a team that had her basketball coach's daughter and softball coach's daughter on it. It was extra special to beat them. :)

At each tournament, teams have a designated spot where they set up camp for the day.
The green pillow and rainbow blanket are Danielle's.

Before each game, each team links arms and walks to the middle of the court with the refs.
The teams turn and wave at the spectators and then shake hands with each other. Danielle is always second in line after the team captain because she is the libero.

Teams often call a time-out to ice the other team's server.
