Another Volleyball Weekend!

I travelled to San Antonio this weekend to coach my Eclipse volleyball team in the MLK tournament.  We had a great time, and the team had some crucial bonding time that it really needed!

We played three matches on Saturday morning and three matches on Sunday morning.  Our record overall was 4 wins, 2 losses.  Because of our solid performance, we were placed in the Gold bracket, the highest bracket in the tournament!  There were about 32 teams in our age group, and only 12 made it to the gold bracket, so I was pretty proud of my team.  We played a match on Monday morning in the single elimination bracket, and unfortunately we lost.  BUT, we played a great game, and I saw my kids doing things I didn't know they could do!  It is a lot of fun to coach my 14s team, as they are much more competitive than the 12s.  They know how to play the game, and I enjoy the more advanced coaching that I get to do.

As for the team bonding, we spent some time with Captain Jack Sparrow as our waiter at the Magic Time Machine restaurant, and we invaded the lobby hotel and ate pizza and made t-shirts for our team.  The girls also had some fun swimming in the hotel pool.  There were about four other Eclipse teams staying in the same hotel, so no one seemed to mind the noise!

Overall, a fun, but busy weekend!
