My niece, Emily, plays on a club volleyball team in Bakersfield, CA called Jamba. Emily is the setter for the team. She is an incredible player. She works so hard and can move around the court to set the ball so that the other girls can spike it. (I would hate to be on the other side of the court when the ball is coming down.) This summer their final tourney was held at the Phoenix Convention Center (Volleyball Festival). My parents and my brother and sister-in-law flew to Phoenix in June for the tourney. (Thank gosh that it wasn't too hot.) We had a great visit and got to watch some awesome volleyball for a week. (By the way, we FINALLY rode the light rail....remember when we couldn't get on.) There were about 100,000 people competing from all over the US. I have never seen so many tall girls. I felt so short. Even though Emily's team placed 6th overall, they played so well. It was also fun to watch all of the scouts from various colleges recruiting these very tall girls. Way to go Emily. Keep up the good work.
