Volleyball Team Dinner

We hosted the final weekly team dinner of the season.

Chino Hills Varsity Volleyball Team 2012

Playing Apples to Apples

Warming up

Kennidy can be seen here in the middle of the screen as she warms up with some spiking over the net before a scrimmage against San Dimas.  She is #15 (hard to tell here, though) and has a grey headband on. She will do 3 spikes over the net in this video.

Who is in charge here?

Watch Sidney in the middle of the screen. She is twirling with a team member of Kennidy's and then she puts her hands on her hips. Kennidy can be seen just off to the left of Sidney. Her high school varsity jersey number is 15.

Someone is watching you.........

Junior Nationals

Kennidy's Club West volleyball team joined 29 other qualified teams in their age group in Columbus, Ohio, for the Junior National Volleyball Championships (formerly called the Junior Olympics). Her team entered the national competition in 4th place. Matches started July 2nd. By the end of competition on July 5th, their team ended up tied for 7th place nationwide. They made an amazing journey and enjoyed the opportunity to have qualified and compete on a national level.

I will update with more pictures once available.  :)

Sidney plays with her new friends. It was so cute! They were rolling the ball to each other (after they taught her that it is not a good idea to KICK a volleyball)



More Volleyball....

Kennidy had a tournament today in Long Beach. Here are a few shots from the event.......



Volleyball

Kennidy is still enjoying the game of volleyball and continues to refine her playing skills each season. Here are some pictures of her and her team this year...

Birthday Ball

This past Saturday we got to enjoy another volleyball tournament...this time in SAN DIEGO. Though it is a club team, we rarely travel this far for a weekend tournament. They are usually within a closer proximity to us, but at any rate...we took a road trip! Kennidy's team did real well! Won 2 of the 3 matches they played. I call this post "Birthday Ball" as the tournament was the day before Kennidy's 13th Birthday!!

Kennidy is an awesome server!

After a match

Oh....teenage girls!

My sister, Sonya, and her husband, Erik, and their son, Gavin, live in San Diego, so we got to see them!
