Club Volleyball!

And so it begins again... a Saturday tournament in Stillwater kicked off a new season of OK Charge club volleyball for Miss Kyndal Faith, who is once again the libero for her team (always in a different color uniform than her teammates - I love that bc it makes them so much easier to find)!

I'm proud to see her hard work paying off - she got 11 points in a row for her team doing her fancy jump-serve! ❤

(As we were hanging out in her car before she helped curl my hair in the Stillwater High School gym bathroom between games...)
Rach: "Want some Cheez-Its!?"

Me:  "Gracious, I was not expecting that big a box!!"

Rach:  "Yeah... I just always keep this in the car in case I need a snacky snack." lol

Taylor and Kyn are teammates again - yay!  And we saw several of her old teammates on other club teams this year!

Christmas candy boxes Rach made for all the girls... Mom and I shared some of Coach PJs who missed this tournament. lol  

The parents joked that we need to break the candy out before the first game next time, as the girls lost every game before the candy break and won their 3 final games afterward!! =)

The ladies of the fam!!  (Dad was taking Jaceman to a bday party!)

Jump serve queen... get it, Miss K!!

I love that in addition to being a girly girl, she's feisty and athletic and confident and competitive! #maximumeffort

After years of being the team manager in high school, I love the atmosphere at volleyball tournaments!  Like all sporting events, I'm not too deeply invested in the score or what's happening on the court, but I enjoy the team chants and the pre-game high fives and laughing at Mom and Rach and Kyndal's  fiercely competitive spirit whilst calmly telling them, "You learn more from losing than winning!" ;-)

Team huddle... see how easy it is to spot Kyndal!?  I'll learn everyone's names by the end of this season!

I left before their final match to meet Sarah for coffee, but Kyndal played great, and I'm glad I got to be there for 3/4ths of it!!  Sadly, I'll miss the Redlands tournament whilst I'm in NYC, but there'll be plenty more to come, including at least 3 more tournaments in Tulsa! #getexcited
