2014 Day 6 Junior Age Volleyball Tour Grosseto

2014 Junior Age Volleyball Tour Day 6 Grosseto

Today is our 2^nd day on the beach here in the Marina…  We need to be ready for drills at 10:00am …

All most everyone arrived on time to the LIDO BEACH courts on time… 2 girls were locked in their room and could not unlock the dead bolt....The day was GORGEOUS…. A slight sea breeze helped us feel a little bit cooler… 

Coach Russ ran the beach drills for us…. trying to get us to move a little more easily, and to feel more comfortable on the beach.  Also to recognize more quickly where the ball is going and to arrive there before the ball does.  Moving in the sand is very difficult and if we wait a fraction of a second before we start to move … we will be late.

Following the drills we divided up into teams and played a mini 4 vs 4 tournament.

We had the rest of the afternoon off to shop, shower or sleep before our games tonight…

Several of the parents joined in and played with the girls and also a few of the boys from the beach.... 
For our indoor games tonight...We arrived to the community gym at about 4:45pm and started to play at 5:30pm.

The Older team played first…. The team we played was pretty much the same team as the night before...
The Older team lost 25-18; 25-18; 15-10

The younger girls played next… and won again 26-24; 25-22; and 16-14 in some very competitive games... 

Everyone went to different places to eat …. And then to the carnival for the last hour before curfew..

Curfew was 11:30pm everyone was home before curfew
