Adelie just finished up her season of in-house 5th grade volleyball. She had practices and games a few times each week throughout January and February. Many of the girls in her class played on the travel volleyball team, so there was only one in-house league for 5th grade.
With only one 5th grade team in Eureka for the in-house league, Adelie's team played against a number of other local teams on Monday evenings in El Paso.
Adelie improved throughout the season. Although not the most aggressive player, Adelie went for the ball and got it back over the net generally a few times each game.
Getting her serve over the net, even from closer up, was a work in progress. She rarely got to serve in games, but she got a serve over the net the last game of the season. She was very excited!
Adelie enjoyed the girls on her team. Since her friend Lola is home-schooled, it was a fun opportunity for the girls to spend more time together.
It was a good season. Adelie had fun, looked forward to playing, and improved throughout the season. I call that success.
