Club Volleyball 2019-20

Allie loves volleyball.  She endures the activity with passion that I can't explain in words.  The entire time she is on the court, there is a smile on her face.  So when club volleyball tryouts came, we had to go for it.  There were 2 teams she seemed interested in, Club South Volleyball and Rivals Volleyball.  She was a part of the Club South Volleyball Juniors last year, but this year she would be trying out for their club league.  I'll be honest, I NEVER fit in with the parents of this club.  But I went and watched my daughter enjoy the time.  So I was interested in the other team, even though they had practices 20 minutes away.

Her first tryouts were 8-10 for Club South.  There were over 25 girls trying out for the 8-10 spots.  She had fun, but she wasn't sure about the coach.



Her next tryout was 11-1 for Rivals.  There were about 20 girls trying out for maybe 2 teams.  She had fun, AND liked the coaches.

I know she was tired and hungry by the time the second one started, but she gave it her ALL!  Before the tryout was over the coaches walked around pulling each girl out of the scrimmage game (one on one) to talk about what they thought.  I quietly sat there watching them pull most of the girls for this chat.  I said a prayer and next thing I knew, they were talking to Allie.



She came running over to me with a HUGE smile and a piece of paper.  They wanted her to be a part of the 14U teams.  I couldn't be more proud of her.  We signed and returned the paper right then.  The best part is this league is more my speed and costs less than the other teams.  Bring on the Club Volleyball Season 2019-20!!!
