The drama! The politics! What the hell is going on?
Volleyball life has gotten almost absurd lately. Ok. So, its been said that my daughter has a great setting personality and has good hands. Its been said that the local Division 1 coach has her eyes on my dd and that she will be at whatever club my dd is in. Now, its being said that my daughter may be moving up come next club season.
Last night Dave E told me that he was told that my dd was going to play for the 15-1 team instead of the 14-1 team like we were thinking. It seems that the 6'+ setter that played this past season won't be returning. So, I'm guessing that the 15-1 team is looking for a new setter. (This team is REALLY good. They made it to Nationals 2 years in a row!) I don't know if they have another setter or what, but to move my dd up before she has proven herself is kinda unreal. This is a girl that has never set in a game before!!! She just switched positions since her past volleyball camp.
Is this being directed from someone outside of the club? The college coach? What do the coaches think? What will the players & parents think? What will my dd think?? I don't know.
In a way, its almost scary how this stuff happens and how politics play a role in these girls playing ball. But as the parent of the child that this is happening to, its still pretty damn exciting.
I do worry that she won't measure up. I worry that its too much for her. But, I see how much this can mean to her future. Both good and the little bit of bad.
Will they want my dd in the club after this season? Or will they want to get rid of the baggage?
I guess only time will tell.
