Volleyball Season is Upon Us

As if we don't already have enough on our plates here at the Keenan household, both Devin and Christian have decided to play volleyball this semester. Devin plays on the Jr. High team, and Christian on the Elementary (grade 5/6 ) team. Both have practices 2X a week at a nearby gym, with other homeschoolers from our school board (Centre for Learning). Both, participate in tournaments with the Christ the Redeemer School Division. Christ the Redeemer encompasses other Catholic schools from High River, Okotoks, Brooks, Strathmore and Canmore.

Today was the Grade 9 tournament in Okotoks. Holy Trinity High School hosted all the Jr. High teams. Devin, his friend Josh, and two more boys were called up to play with the grade 9ers. Talk about baptism by fire for the grade 7/8ers!  They made a valiant effort as a team, but lost most of the games.  Our grade 7/8ers held their own with their grade 9 team mates. When it was their turn to play,  they made us proud! None of the younger boys backed down from some very fast paced sets.  

After our team's elimination, us moms', who were the cheering section for our boys, reminded them, that this was just a warm up for their tournament next Monday. They could take today's experience and make it work for them positively,  next week.   So stay tuned for next week results with the Grade 7/8 volleyball tournament.  GO CFL  FLIGHT !

Just as an end note: It may look like Devin was on the bench alot, but honest, he did play :)  Coach was great at letting the 7/8ers play in and substitute. Next week...action shots ;)
