About 80 7th graders tried out for the Volleyball team, Taneal one of them. Only 24 actually made the team, Taneal being one of them. She was so excited! The week of tryouts she was so nervous because she was sure there was no way she would make the team because she hadn't really played volleyball before and so many of the others trying out had. Towards the end of the week, she was getting more confident because she felt she was doing well. But with so many trying out, the odds were against her. Friday after school they posted the results and Taneal made the team. We are so excited for her!
Now the rigorous schedule begins, which we had no idea what was in store.
Practice every morning at 6:45am. School gets out at 4pm. That is one long day. Every Thursday and occasional Friday and Saturday are games. The Thursday and Friday games she won't come home after school, she'll get on the bus and head straight to the game. She'll get back to the school around 8pm. That is one long day! Thankfully the season is only 3 months. We were so excited about Taneal making the team until she made it through a week of practice and was exhausted. Add piano, viola, and all Pre-AP classes and that is one busy girl.
But she will have fun!
