Volleyball Qualifier

Heather's first volleyball qualifier.  We reported at 7:30AM to a sports complex in Anaheim that felt more like a meat locker.  The girls stayed warm playing while Jenna and I sat on the bleachers all bundled up.  Heather played really well.  The team didn't do so great as a whole, so I focused on watching Heather.  She made two errors the entire day which is pretty darned spectacular for a rookie.  Actually it's pretty darned spectacular for a veteran.  She's not putting any balls away with force, but she gets her hits over, and you can see below that she has no trouble getting up for the block.  We took a picture of her against an uber tall middle block to show her the height difference, and to point out that Heather still jumps higher than these tall girls. It helps her not be intimidated.  We're very proud of her progress, and she is too.  Each week seems to bring some new learning and new skill acquisition.  It will be fun to watch her this season.
