MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK ON TUESDAY
- Highlights this year are more than just highlights, we have the nice opens, different bits, it's almost a poor man's Epic Video if you remember that, so please be sure to check it out...Share it with the friends and families as well.
Team by team breakdown of this past weekend.
3rd/4th grade - The lack of game experience is starting to show...so many balls where nobody gets to, and a lot of balls that are gotten to but never get across. It goes back to practicing and being dedicated and if the team fools around too much during practice and won't listen, it won't get any better.
5th/6th grade - Do you believe a team's record is better than it indicates? The team is (2-4) yet have lost all four games in the final set. In every single game, they were points away from either winning in the first, second or third set. But sooner or later these girls are going to have to learn. Yes, it's a 5th/6th grade combo team and many are very new to the game, but they have shown they are more than capable of winning. That is the frustrating part.
One serve, one side-out, every point is precious and they need to value every possession more than they do.
7th/8th grade volleyball - It's amazing that I am typing this, but the team needs to set better. Never before has that been said. Most of the teams in the past have shown signs of the bump, set and spike. This team is capable of doing it every time and they need to do it every time in order for them to win.
They are in the lowest division but it seems like all good teams were thrown there this season. The girls could play bump vs bump all day, but need to spike to win games. Also, faulting on even one serve is not acceptable.
That is how much these girls have grown in volleyball. It's a lot more critical than before, but they've gotten to the level where this is what needs to be picked apart.
7th/8th grade soccer - We knew coming it it would be a tough season. Most of their games are winnable but at the end of the day, I don't think the team as a whole has the soccer gene.
How many kids went and kicked a ball after soccer season last year?
The answer to that is probably next to none. So for them to just miraculously come back to the field in September, practice for a week or two, and beat all these teams in division two...Close to a miracle...
So they sit at (1-5). The record isn't that disappointing but the fact that even the coaches said several of the players didn't look like they wanted to be there, that's disappointing.
And there was one player who quit the team because "they were losing" too much. Wow...real team player you are.
