Down & Ready

Morgan was not the smallest in the group of 3rd and 4th graders playing volleyball this year. There were many 3rd graders about her size.

She worked really hard on her form and hitting techniques. 

Serving the ball over the net is still a challenge but she actually made it over several times. She'll be a pro by the time she gets to high school.

One of the girls has a mighty, power serve. I was impressed when Morgan stepped in front of the serve and made an attempt to hit one of these power serves. She didn't quite hit it square on so it went sailing but it was a great try. No fear!

 

She was really good at "down and ready" and moving to the ball. (Not sure what the girl in the front is doing... Maybe a practice swing.) I even let her play with her glasses on which, I think, helped.

Pass! Set! Spike!
