The girls volleyball team had a busy week. The team was introduced to Brookfield Academy’s new varsity girls volleyball coach, me, Anne Slattery. I bring many years of training to the program, lots of enthusiastic ideas, and a new vision. I am very excited to work with the returning coaches and learn more about the program and culture at Brookfield Academy.
The first scrimmage of the season took place on Saturday, August 20, at The Prairie School. Varsity performed well, implemented many new disciplines and won two of the three games.
In addition, JV1 and JV2 combined to form one team and competed very well in two matches. Good fundamentals, court movement, and team chemistry is brewing!
The first day of school was Tuesday, and the girls volleyball teams had a great team building practice. They started out with some ball control games, intermixed the three levels and played a modified game of baseball on the courts, and then wrapped up practice with games of Minute to Win it! Games included stacking three golf balls (two groups had success), stacking five apples (one group had success), catching 12 pencils (one group succeeded), sorted M&M’s with a straw (much success), and wiggling an Oreo Cookie from forehead to mouth in a minute (of course many succeeded and enjoyed the cookie).
