Our granddaughter's team participated in a volleyball tournament, thankfully at a local school with 10 teams involved. Her first match was at 8:30. They came in third as they lost to the eventual champs. They left around 5:00 that evening.
@casablanca - The experience did have a toll on the seventh grade team. Up to this point they were playing really well against their opponents. After this they looked very hesitant and forgot some of the basic things they were taught by their coaches. We went to a regular match last night and it seems like they are starting to play together as a team once again. But this is the last week of the season.
