The Volley Queens are 4-5 recreation league champions for the 2024 season!
It wasn't easy but the joy of watching eight girls and two coaches hold trophies made this season worth it. I know, I'm the second assistant coach, but work kept me sidelined for half of the season. Nevertheless, they did a bang-up job from late September to last Tuesday practicing, playing as a cohesive unit, and as the days passed, exhibiting both a growing confidence and leadership skills which will serve them well in years to come. From initially running through the league the first half of the season to losing three of the final four regular season games and that blood pressure-raising championship game, each Volley Queen bumped, set, served, and blocked their way all the way through each point.
This is about the eight fourth- and fifth-graders and their two coaches - and all of the parents, grandparents, and support system who gave a hand in not only learning the game of volleyball but also having fun. Thank you all for being there, sacrificing Saturday afternoons for one-to-two hours of practice time to work on becoming great players and better humans. None of this would be possible without you guys.
Thank you to coaches Chastity and Zac for their hard work and strategizing before each game and pushing each girl to do her best.
I told Chastity that the toughest kid to coach would be ours before this season, and somehow, she proved me wrong.
Most importantly, a huge thank you to Caeli, Mila, Adalynn, Emerson, Kinslee, Aryan, Javaya, and Brooklyn for giving it their all: Those girls are good!
Wanna keep the band together and move up next year?
Even if we don't stick around to defend that title, they can proudly wear their crowns when they look at their trophies and wristbands, of which I've worn almost daily since.
Volley Queens on 3: 1, 2, 3! VOLLEY QUEENS!
Awwww, Thank u
