Volleyball, volleyball, and more volleyball

The sand volleyball tournament this weekend was really fun!  The day started out pretty cool, warmed up a bit when the sun shined down, and then started pouring the last few games.  Our team got 3rd place from playing during the regular season, and then we ended up winning 2nd place in the tournament. 

On Saturday, we only lost one game, but tied for first against a really good team (which we beat).  And that's when it started to rain.  We had to play a tie breaker game.  They beat us (our hands kept slipping on the ball).  So then we had to play another game!  And it rained even more.  After losing a second time, we went out to eat as a team using the money from our winnings.  It was a lot of fun... and they invited me to be on their team next year!  Cool!

The ILS girls had an away volleyball game in Janesville today.  They're my favorite school to play because I did some student teaching there (and still recognize a bunch of the kids).  We won our soccer game, lost the B squad games, and then won the A squad games.  But man, do we need to practice moving our feet!  I really should look up a book on how to teach volleyball.  Or at least find some drills to help the B squad with their fundamentals.  We have another game tomorrow, this time a home game.  We'll see how it goes!
