End of the Thunder's Season

Another volleyball season wrapped up on Saturday. I can say that I don't think this season was quite as frustrating as my very first season coaching, but it was pretty close! The girls practiced so hard, and they made so much progress every week. Unfortunately, when it came time to play the games, everything went wrong. We definitely had some issues with serves, especially once our serving line got moved back. We won one game all season. There were quite a few games that were super close, including our last one, but we just couldn't pull out the win. There were also a few games that we totally just gave away with our mistakes, but I try to remember that they are 8 and 9. Volleyball is a tough sport, and the thing that is most important is that they are having fun and learning the basics. I just got frustrated this year because they just didn't play as well as they could have in the games. I do think all the girls had fun, and the parents all seemed okay with things. I guess that's the most important thing. At least, that's what I will keep trying to convince myself of each season ;)

We had a fun end of the season party at Bahama Bucks. I didn't think to let the snow cone place know that we were going to have a big group in the middle of a Saturday, and I felt bad when we totally invaded their place. The girls played games and hung out while we all waited for our snow cones. It was a great way to end the season.
