kial's new sport...

kial joined the middle school girls' volleyball team this year. there was such a big turnout they split the team into a varsity and a junior varsity team. being her 1st year, and a lowly 6th grader, kial was put on the jv team with her other 6th grade friends. there are 7 girls on the jv team and since you need 6 to play each one counts and gets lots of playing time.
kial dives for balls, bumps with finesse and serves with power. she's had so much fun playing and it's really great to see how all the girls support and encourage each other.
it's all pretty amazing to me since i was too afraid of the ball to ever willingly play volleyball.
i love how both my girls always find the courage and drive they need to try whatever new things interest them.

i always loved to play volleyball but got too scared once i saw the uniforms they made you wear at our high school. i would have been a very scary site in those short shorts!!
