Today was the annual Athletes Social filled with fun and lots of important stuff. The day started out on the patio with some ice breakers and impromptu singing and dancing. It was a great way for the athletes to get to know one another. The rest of the day was filled with important information that every athlete needs to know (even thought they don't want to hear it)

We are making it through our first week of practice. Bonds are being formed, and a sense of comfort is settling in. The coaches are doing a fabulous job, and are finding ways to help us come together. When an obstacle is placed before us, we all work together to solve it, taking in each idea. Working together is a key and we are learning what works for us. We are bending, stretching, lifting, hitting, and working hard. We are Bruin Volleyball!
