Back to back weekends for tourneys but close to home, in Salem. Started off a little odd, eight team tourney and Salem didn't have a team in the tourney they were hosting. Our pool was changed after our first match because one team failed to show up. This had an effect on our team and we didn't really recover. Similar to last tourney we have moments of brilliance. We need to continue working on sustaining momentum and focus.
The players are growing at their own rates and are taking on roles that are difficult. The twins are continuing to learn the setting position and I commend them on taking on the challenge. Maddie had a great day for missing so much time. Emily is solid and is doing a good job with Shalini in talking on the court. The players that stuck out to me were Taylor and Cory. Taylor has become a versatile player that I can put in the left side or middle. She doesn't complain about playing middle but does a solid job for the team. Her hitting is improving, along with her ball control when passing. Keep up the good work. Cory does an amazing job in being our libero. I have asked her to take charge in the back row and pass everything she can get to and she has done just that. She was picking up balls that kept our team in plays and gave us additional opportunities to score. Her ball control has gotten better as the season has come along, every pass is right on target. Thanks Cory!!
Next tourney is Power League on the 7th at Willamalane. Opportunity to improve and gain experience.
