August 17th Day 5
This morning started off bright and early at 8am with a
delicious breakfast that have some great mangos. We were getting ready for
practice and coach decided to give us a break. A well deserved one after all
the hard work we’ve been putting in, most of the girls went back to sleep and
others just kicked back and relaxed. It was fantastic!
For the second part of our day we had some lunch. After
lunch we sat by the pool and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and used the
excellent WiFi in that area to brush-up on our Portuguese, “Oi”.. Which means
hi! Our first practice of the day went by fairly fast although it was a semi
long practice. We worked on serve receive passing a lot today. Our passing as a
team has gotten a lot better. We have learned to stay low and use simple angles
to get the ball to where it needs to be.
Snack time went by fast and our second practice came even
faster. Our second practice we started off with some exciting queens court. The
coaches played with us, its super fun to try and pass coaches crazy down balls
and Coach Russ’s super hard serves..We had some teammates go down, “Man down,
Man down”.. Everything ended up to be good so we went into some passing lane
drills for serve receive. To end practice we played some 5 on 5, and RAN to
dinner because the food is always so fantastic!!! Now we are headed off to bed
and ready to wake up and do it again!
