BAVA Tournament Season begins

Carmen started out her club volleyball season with BAVA this last weekend in Indianapolis at the Central Zone tournament. The team did very well. They played four different teams and played well together against all four. After losing two matches to teams that were very beatable, they ran into a very tough team from Fort Wayne. They hung with that team very well, but were clearly under experienced as mostly 15 year olds in that game.

The crossover match against the #3 team from another pool was very exciting and a great way to end the long day with a win.

I think it is going to be a great season. I caught Carmen smiling a few times, so I know that she enjoyed playing with seven other players and a coach that want to play well, improve and win.

We started out the day with a huge scare as Julie, our setter, went down with an injured knee during warmups before the first game. One of the dad's is a physical therapist and had her all t taped up and ready to play for the game and kept her going all day.
