So my little 8u CYO team is doing AWESOME!! We are playing 4-2 rotation and what I call a shield defense. They are doing their best to get three hits instead of one over. I have the ENTIRE team serving over the net and FIVE girls serving overhand!! There are two brand spanning new to the sport players on our team too. The other 8 only have one year experience.
We played the other OLG team on Sat and they were PISSED after the game!!! I’m not sure why. But livid mad! Frank says they were just embarrassed, and I get that, but how is that my fault? During the game, I start my girls off serving underhand. If we lead by 8-10 points, I switch them to overhand where they are less reliable servers. But they started serving rocket fireballs overhand. That’s never happened. I kept pushing them back trying to make it more challenging for them. Hoping they would side out. I am not that type of coach who enjoys creaming the other team. My newbies need experience, and we don’t get that by one girls dominating the serves. Still it pissed them off. It really bothered me. I was so proud of of girls. Half of them don’t even know we won the game. They just try their best and go for the concession stand tokens. People disappoint me. Makes me sad. Comments are closed.
