USA Try Out... Number 1 of 2????

Picture from the IDQ two weekends ago!

Today was the first High Performance try out of the "summer" for USA Volleyball. Apparently, I was one of the only people that got that memo, haha. There were about 30 people total, 20-ish guys and 10 girls. I was the only U26 participant, there was one U21 participant and the rest were between the ages of 15 and 18. So, it made for an interesting try out!! The girls were all super nice and worked hard but it was weird trying to make things work with such a different level of player. And, I am not at all saying they were bad, because they definitely weren't, but 95% percent of the girls had no beach experience so it was just a little different :)

Anyway, the try out went alright and I am supposed to hear back in about a week or so if I make the team! The problem is, they want me to try to come to another try out so they can see me with people my age, which is kind of a bummer, but if I make the team it's worth it!!!

If I make the U26 team (it consists of 8 girls) then I will get to train from April to August, twice a week for free! And, then they pick two teams I believe at the end of the summer to represent the USA in Turkey for the World University Games! Send positive vibes and say a few little prayers if you think of it! :)
