Trying to make the team!

I’m not sure how many of you have had to pay attention to youth sports lately, but before Covid-19 you could most likely find a team for your youth to join. We are almost 24 months into Covid-19 and in central Alberta we had 36, 14 year old girls trying out for 12 spots on one volleyball team. As you can imagine that leaves a bunch of girls looking for places to play. A lot of the communities these girls come from do not have gyms at the recreation facilities and with Covid-19 the school divisions have not allowed user groups to rent the gyms even though they have multigroup user agreements. Here is a look at how competitive this year is to make a team.

This try out was 4 hours long, it started at 10 am warm up to be competed before hand. Moving onto some rally game play.
