Serafina decided to try out for her middle school's volleyball team. She honestly didn't really have time for another activity because she's so busy with dance, but she has some really sweet friends that play so she decided to give it a shot. Though she dabbled in a volleyball camp long ago and she played well during the volleyball unit in P.E., I wasn't sure what the outcome would be of the tryouts. Every morning she went to school during try out week, she would check if her name was still on the roster. She made it the whole week without getting cut! Some of her friends did. In the end, she was offered a spot on the "spirit team". She would practice with the team and attend games, but she wouldn't be guaranteed playing time since there were girls that have dedicated a lot of time to the sport and they would be the primary players. This was a great offer for Serafina since she needed to leave early every Tuesday for dance and Tuesdays were one of the game days. I didn't have to feel bad for stealing her away to get to the dance studio. She still got to spend time with her friends, get plenty of practice time and be part of a team. The season was pretty short and they played against the four other middle schools in the district.
Here she is with Mayan, Makayla and Dasha.

Here she is giving her school's mascot a high five. This game took place at her school, Huerta Middle School. Recognize the blonde in yellow next to her? Yep, that's Sunny. She plays on one of the other school's teams.
Huerta's team made it into the finals. I haven't watched a lot of volleyball and I don't fully understand all the rules, but it was super exciting to watch them play in the finals and win!
Here's the championship team with their coach.
