Volleyball Tournament

Danielle had a volleyball tournament yesterday. They played very well together and finished 2nd overall. They played hard all the way, even taking the championship game to a tie-breaker set. Danielle had a great day. She did a great job serving, had some nice spikes and some outstanding saves. I wish I would have videotaped her because she had one play we will be talking about for a long time. Someone on her team shanked the ball out of the court on the 2nd hit. Somehow she made it out of the court and to the ball and then hit it backwards over her head to get it back into the field of play and just over the net onto the other side. It really was outstanding. She played in 13 matches, beginning at 7:15am and finishing up around 6:45pm. It's no wonder she slept all the way home and could barely make it through dinner!



She was the 2nd ref for one of the matches in our pool.

For a short kid, I'm amazed at how high she can jump!
