This year the 8^th grade girls will be playing volleyball in the spring. There will be two teams. The coaches are, Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. Besser. The assistant coach for Mrs. Douglas’ team is Christina D. She will be helping us play and get ready for high school. She is currently in the 12^th grade at Cuyahoga Falls High School. She played volleyball when she was in grade school. She isn’t playing on the Falls Tigers team because she did something to her knee and could no longer play after grade school. This is now her chance to teach us her skills so we know how to play in a higher level then what we are in. She will also help us get better at any skills that we haven’t learned or have troubles with. Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. Besser both love doing this and teaching us the way to be good sports about it when you loose or win. They also teach us to be good players in the game of Volleyball. I’m hoping that this year we will have a lot of fun just like all our other years we have been playing. We all are excited to be playing and can’t wait. Kristin M. was on Mrs. Douglas’ team last year, she said, “I can not wait till it starts, I love volleyball.” Mariette P. was on Mrs. Besser’s team last year, she said she cant wait till it comes and she looks forward to learning more about volleyball, she also loves volleyball. Michaela G. was on Mrs. Bessers team last team, she said she is very excited and that it’s her favorite sport and the only one she plays. Mrs. Douglas says that she is looking forward to another year of coaching her girls. Mrs. Besser is also looking forward to another year of coaching her girls.
