Hi Firecrackers!!

Just wanted to re-cap this weekend; I hope you all had fun on your first out of town tournament with Cobb Atlanta and your teammates!

As many of you know, almost all of you, in almost every match, met your personal goals. I am so proud to see you ladies working hard to reach the goals you have set for yourself. This shows focus and ambition and accomplishing your goals contributes to the overall success our your team. 

We had some incredible matches against some fierce competition - the volleyball you played against Tri-Co 14-1 and MCVA 13-1 (the team with the 10 yr olds that just wouldn't quit!) was among the best playing we've seen you do all year. I'll hand over a few W's if I can see our Firecrackers playing better, more intense and competitive volleyball. 

Sunday was a bit of a bust; our biggest weakness was playing with a "defeated" attitude. Remember how we felt when we saw those tiny, 10 year olds take on the 6 foot tall 14's? They didn't give up any point - they made them work for it. They stayed positive and focused - we can do that too, and we need to when we face strong teams. 

Hunstville is right around the corner - lets focus on our weaknesses in the next few practices and be ready to take on ANYONE in Alabama!

Peace out!
