Experiments in Volleyball

This morning was our final day of volleyball for our Young Women.  A stake representative was selected at last week's games so today was just for fun--and donuts.

We played the first game to 10 with all the girls on the big court, January-June birthday girls versus the July through December birthday girls.  Much giggling ensued.

Then, we played Buddy-Ball, where the girls found a partner who is about the same height and we tied their middle arms together.  Much like a three-legged race, the three arm volleyball players took a little time to get used to the new get up.  We quit keeping score.  Much giggling ensued.

And finally the last game we played Blackout Volleyball.  With glow sticks taped to the top of the net, and a volleyball wrapped in glow-in-the dark tape, all the girls played a game in the dark.  I am not sure how much of a game we had, but  much giggling ensued.

The seven dozen donuts I brought to celebrate together were polished off and the girls left smiling and happy.  I'd say that was a fun way to finish the season.

Now, if only basketball season would be that warm and fuzzy.  But we know that is just not the case.  Dangit.
