During my practicum at OKM I am coaching the Grade 8 Girls Volleyball team. It is a short season of only 5 weeks, but it has been great so far. This past Friday, we had our first tournament. It was a home tournament, both with our girls and boys teams. The team I coach, OKM 2 started off the morning slow, losing both our sets. As a team we came up with a list of what we thought went well and what our goals were for the rest of the day. Our main goals were: calling the ball and communication, anticipating the play, controlling our passes and serving. The girls also did a great job of cheering their teammates on while they were off the court. It is important that all the players know they have a role whether they are on the court or not. After our meeting, the girls did a great job of implementing their goals into their game play. We ended up winning the rest of our matches to get to the final, and ultimately we won in the final. Overall I think the day was great for the team to bond. I have really enjoyed coaching these girls, especially after playing volleyball myself for so many years. It was exciting to win my first tournament as a coach.
