Volleyball

So, I think I'm feeling a bit stressed. Hopefully, I'll get the hang of this volleyball think soon. I wouldn't have thought that having taken a year off, I would have been this disorganized. (Of course, I could have been this disorganized, and just not have realized it.)

Anyway, we play our first game of the season later today. And with only 3 practices under our belt, I'm pretty sure we ....

There are 24 girls in Junior High Volleyball this year, the most I've ever had. Only one coach (me), no managers, and no other adults (except for the bus driver for away games). I don't know about you, but working with 24 girls, ages 10 to 15, can be extremely challenging if you don't have back-up. At least for this trip, I've asked another teacher to help. Hopefully, she'll be able to watch some of the girls, when I'm not able to. (Not to mention, check the locker room!)

Well, I do think I'm ready. I have rosters, line-ups, parental sign out sheets, lists, bus lists, uniforms for girls that forgot them the other day, kneepads, money, etc. Of course, I haven't done much school-work today. That's the problem, I either spend my all my time with coaching duties, or I actually teach. Can't really do both at the same time.
