Anna played on the junior (what they call the younger teams) volleyball team and I helped coach. We both had a great time playing and coaching. The kids practiced twice a week for two months and then had a weekend tournament (Thanksgiving weekend)with multiple games each day(Thursday/Friday) and then the championship game on Saturday. Each of our times was in the championship game: Senior girls soccer (They took 1st!) and our junior boys and girls teams (They each took 2nd!). It is really amazing what these kids do each year. Our school has a very small courtyard where the kids practice. They practice on a court that is much smaller than a regulation court and most of the time they are practicing outside in the cold. One day a week, they went to practice in a gym at an international school nearby. The same for soccer. Then, they come to the tournament and do so well! Plus, our school got the most important award, The Sportsmanship Award. Each of the coaches gives a 1-4 score to the other schools based on how they interacted with each other, the other teams, and the refs. Our school got a perfect score, the only school not to have a single complaint against them. Praise Him! We play against schools that are not like-minded. We pray that our lives would be lights to the other kids that attended that weekend.
