Saturday 9-12-09 was our first day of practice. We had 10 girls participate and 2 more that have committed to joining the team at this time.
We ordered t-shirts and shorts today so they will hopefully be done for our first Saturday play date! Shirts are pink with royal blue. Shorts are royal blue. Our team name this year will be the "Bluejay Chics".
Any one else planning to join the team needs to let us know ASAP so we can get their outfit ordered. Parents can order t-shirts as well for $10 each. Dad's can have white or grey if they don't want pink. :-) I need to know ASAP if you want one.
Plans are still tentative but we have high hopes to have a fifth grade team and a third/fourth grade team. Also tentative are the plans for future Saturday competitions at Wellington, Belle Plaine, Mulvane and South Haven, as well as hosting a play date at Caldwell. Our Rec. Director is working out the details at this time.
Our focus is obviously on the basic fundamentals. We will work mostly on bumping, overhand serving and understanding their positions on the court as well as the rules of the game. Big emphasis will be placed on having respect of each other, coaches, and opponents. We will also stress encouragement for each other and uniting as a team.
Thanks to all of you who shared your daughters with us Saturday morning. We had fun and look forward to a great season!
Coach Jo and Coach Tammy :-)
