All summer she talked about trying out for the badminton team at Mountain View. Really? We have never played badminton! I called the coach and she suggested a summer clinic. Unfortunately, the only Mesa clinic was during Girl's Camp. It didn't faze her. She went to the meetings, dressed out for tryouts and made the exhibition team without any playing experience! She has since worked her way up the ladder and is now playing on the JV team. Although the team is experiencing a "building year", the uniforms are ugly (not to mention huge on Cass!), and they actually condition by running laps and weight training, she LOVES it!
Ready for the birdie...
Not quite ready for the birdie...
Going for the birdie...
We should have thought of playing this sport years ago! Does it get any better than sitting inside an air conditioned gym during the dead of summer? Sure beats football and tennis in that regard!(sorry about the picture quality...if only I knew how to work my camera!)
