Well I went straight into basketball from volleyball..........no break. We are now 3 and 1/2 weeks in and we are looking pretty good. I was actually really surprised to see the girls from the team last year - they have some mad skills!! They must have actually learned something last year :) We made huge strides last year and I'm expecting the same this year.
Except I've been extremely frustrated thus far. I've already had 4 girls quit on me in the last 2 weeks. Man, am I really that tough? :) No, some situations have come up that merit immediate attention that wouldn't be very likely if they continued with the team. BUT on the other hand, they could do it if they wanted to. They're just not dedicated. That's a struggle with these students at a charter school. A lot of them have never played sports before so they don't know how it works. Well, I'll tell you what! I'll change that right away! I'm mostly upset about my star senior post player. We were going to be AMAZING with her........Now, it's going to take a lot of work but we can still do it.
So I went from 20 girls to 16 for two teams. I'm going to play about five girls on both teams. Good news for them! :) No, but I expect our season to be a lot more successful than our volleyball season. Our region will still be tough but these girls are some real ballers. Our first game isn't until December 11th. I'll keep you posted!
