This is Natalie, my 7th grade volley-baller (camera phone at last night's game...not the best quality). This is her first year playing organized volleyball. I love watching her play. One, because she's my kid...two, because she works hard.
At the beginning of the season, Natalie struggled with her serves. In fact, the coach used to remove her from the lineup at strategic moments so as to avoid having her serve. But she's worked hard and practiced hard to the point where not only does she never come out of the lineup now, she's the starting server. She doesn't serve hard or fast...but she's amazingly consistent. She's like a machine...never misses. Last night, in beating Stasburg, Natalie didn't miss a single serve. And at one point in game one, served ten consecutive points for her team.
Darn right I'm proud. :)

This pic brings back memories of our daughter, Kristina. She was the same kind of server and by the time she hit eight grade, she was THE server. Fun to watch! I'll be rooting for your girl.
Thanks for the comment Tina. I'm afraid, though, that I may have jinxed the team by blogging about it. Before this post, Natalie's team was 7-2. After the post: 0-2. My bad.
