Kenzie was given the opportunity to play volleyball this year in our local club program. Normally the girls don't start until 5th grade but they had four openings and we were offered a place. Kenzie excitedly accepted. She chose not to do basketball this year because it is just too much of a contact sport for her likeing. So when this became available, she was really excited!
She is still pretty timid but she has already improved a great deal. We had our first set of games yesterday in Logan, Utah, which won't normally be that far away, and she really had a lot of fun.
We got to our games on time and found out that every one else had accidentally driven to the wrong place and so we had to wait about an hour before anyone arrived. We warmed up with Kenzie for so long that afterwards she had a pretty bruised wrist. I kept asking if she wanted to rest but she has been trying to get her serves over the net and didn't want to stop. I promise i didn't push her to keep going, it was all her!! I felt so bad that she ended up hurting herself!
However, she played through it after daddy saved the day and bought pink athletic tape to wrap her wrist up. She had a few passes go her way....and some she got. But she had fun and it was fun to watch her!

Kenzie is on a great team and is enjoying volleyball. It was so good to see her play on Saturday. She really knows the game and is attentive. It's a good fit for her. Way to be so supportive! It's a lot of time, but it will pay off in her self-confidence, and athletic abilities.
