We have now entered the uncharted waters of
"Club Volleyball" what a process this has turned out
to be. Georgia has about zillion of them but for us it
was trying to pick the best option for Taylor, location
and cost. (I had NO idea how expensive sports could get)
Monday: We headed over to Cobb Atlanta Volleyball.
She heads to the courts with all the other girls, the parents
have a meeting. Option 1 your daughter will get offered a
spot that night for the team and you have call backs. Option 2
you just get a call back. Okay no pressure...WRONG...I was
so nervous. But Taylor did just fine, she got an offer the
first night for the "RED" team (much like being selected for
the "A" team).
Tuesday: Taylor went to open court night and just practiced
to help with the following days ahead.
Wednesday: Head back to Cobb Atlanta for the "call back"
and again she did great and once again the coaches approach
us an told us they really wanted Taylor. So as parents we are
so very proud and say great we will let you know what we decide.
Thursday: Now we are on to Sky Volleyball tryouts. Not to
many girls show up for this try out but some had other tryouts
that overlapped. So the girls are all doing volleyball stuff and the
parents again have a meeting. Much like Monday night they
would either make and offer for the team or just ask you to come
back. Well Taylor put on quite a show and they really liked her.
(only have 10 coaches watching you and making comments on your skills
no pressure right??????????) We are the first parents to be approached
to they want Taylor to come play for them. Then about 15 min after that
he make an announcement that is he calls your daughters number he would
like to see all of us in the other room. OH GREAT!!! Well they call her number
we head to other room and all of us find out we have a spot on the team, then
we found out she has been offered to play up with the 14 year olds. We are thrilled.....
Now we have two clubs that would like Taylor so now we have to all sit
down and figure out what would be best for her. This club volleyball is
big stuff we have make sure she is at the right place..the PRESSURE....
With all that being said, I am super impressed on how far she has come in
such a short amount of time. She never even played volleyball till this summer
at a few camps we put her in. She continues to amaze me everytime I watch her.
She is such a natural at it........
We will keep you up to date on what happens with the "club" thing. We have
to make a commitment to a club on November 11th on what we want to do. That
is the drop date on all decisions for all girls that want to play.
