My little sister (5'11" ish) is in Maine training with the ALL NAVY volleyball team! 15 women are there now, scrimmaging and training and competing for one of the 10 places on the team that will compete for the US Armed Forces National Championship at the end of May. Isn't she cool?
When Karen was in 7th grade, she decided she loved volleyball. Back then she was a teeny little thing wearing size 00. She worked hard, lifted weights, got a growth spurt, and played varsity for the Lady Mavs in high school. She was offered a spot on the Air Force Academy volleyball team, but decided to be an A&M nuclear engineer instead. In college she won a few intramural championships with her Pink Ladies team (named for the apple variety).
I'm proud of her because of her determination and drive. I'm loving seeing her so excited about a sport. And I'm going to make Scott learn some team sport well enough to enjoy it in adulthood because, let's face it, there just isn't much opportunity to high kick after high school. (... but I do dance really well around our kitchen whenever Luke plays me Fergie or Beyonce!)
