This summer Parker's volleyball team is playing in a club league so they can keep their skills up and be ready for fall. They are 4th graders, but are playing "up", against 5th graders. Or so we thought, but there weren't enough 5th grade teams, so they combined 5th and 6th grade teams, which has us playing against some giaganto 6th grade club teams (i.e. girls who were professionally coached for the last 2 years). This picture doesn't quite do the height discrepancy justice because Parker is bending forward, but some of these girls are taller than I am.
Our girls get to serve from about 3 feet in from the back of the court, but if they get 2 balls over, then they have to serve from behind the white line. Parker's serves have gotten really strong and she can get them over most times until she has to move back. Maybe at tonight's game we can get a pic of tiny little Parker trying to get the ball over the net from the back of the court.
