MAA VolleyBall Womens Tournament Champions

So we won the Womens Volleyball Tournament that took place on 16th May (Saturday) at Applevalley, MN.
Our chances were good as we had practiced a lot for the match.
We had 4 teams against which we had to play the league. 2 of the teams we won easily but was a close one against the third team.
In teh league we were in the top and hence had to play against the 4th team, we very easily won against them and went to the Finals.
The finals opponenet was a team against whom we have practiced a few times and they all have improved a lot.
The first set we were in the lead and won agaisn tthem, in the second set we were 6-12 and then we had to play some really good game to close the gap and comeback and even take a lead and finally win.

It was a great match and a great day
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.                  

Sand VB Tournament-2014

Team BM won the runners up title this year 2014 at the Sand VB Tournament. Everyone went with kids early but Ritvik had a bday party and I did not want to go early with the baby, so we left him at 4 for his party and then me, baby and mommy went to the park. We saw the semi-finals which our team won comfortably. Then there was the women's finals which I did not watch as I had to pick my son from his party. We returned and the match started. We won the 1st set and was almost winning the second but 2-3 mistakes cost our team dearly and we lost the 2 sets against them.

So ended up being Runner's up this time.

More next year.

On Birthdays and Winning Matches

Saturday was a very hectic day for me. G left early in the morning for his VB match.
Me and R woke up at 8:30, I washed the dishes and made pancakes for breakfast. Once we were done R went for potty and bath and in the meantime I made some gavar ka sabji.
We both got ready to go t HomeDepot. Since it is the 1st Saturday they have a Kids Workshop. Me along with my friend and her 2 kids drove to Home Depot and had a great tiem making a bird feeder, we also got to see some of their exotic bird collection that they had got.
After returning R went to play with the kids where as I went ofr some walking.
At 1:30 I went to get him but ended up eating lunch at friend's place and R eat his lunch at another friend's place.
We reached home by 2:15 and got ready to go for the birthday party. Since it was great weather and the party was nearby we walked. R had a gr8 time running around with his friends but I got quite bored as it was his daycare friend's birthday and I did not know anyone.

After returning me and other friends decided to go to watch the match as our guys had reached the finals. We drope 25 mins over there only to be informed that the finals will be held near to our place as the Community center they had booked was closing.
We returned to the Champions Hall by 7:30. Finals started after 8, oh! it was a thrilling match. We won the  1st set, the other team won the 2nd set and it was a close finish in the 3rd set which our team WON.

Hi-fi and Congratulations all over!
We attended the award ceremony and then all of us went for dinner at Green mill. By the time we reached home and went to bed it was 11:30

All in all a great day

2013 - Wednesday C-Rec C Level-Week4- Blog Marathon 16

26th June:- This week were were playing the top team so far in the league. They were unbeaten as far as the first two weeks statistics goes. Again we were short of 1 girl so we had to play 4's for the first 2 sets and then later on we had one girl join so we played 6's.
The net result..we Lost and that too miserable. It was not as if the other team were great players it was just that we played bad.
The sun and the heat was not helping at all and we lost all 4 sets.
Our strategy was all wrong, we had no communication among us.
Wrong, wrong, wrong..I am thinkin of giving up Volleyball and play tennis

2013 - Wednesday C-Rec C Level-Week3- Blog Marathon 10

Waiting for next week.

2013 - Wednesday C-Rec C Level-Week2 - Blog Marathon 2

Yesterday's game was against Kiss My Pass. The new girl B did not turn up and hence we could play with only 4 members (2 girls + 2 boys). We had 4 games and we won 3 out of them. The opposition was not all that good and we must have played really bad to loose that 1 set.
I even took a dive but that turned out to be futile as the ball was nowhere near the net.

Looking forward to the next one.

************************************************************* We are Team BM and our first match was yesterday against Panino Bros Hit Squad. We reached Lake Riley by 6:15. The ratio of Women had to be more or equal than Men. Me and Kavitha were already in and as the other girl opted out G had to take another girl from the rooster. Since this delayed for so many days let me just say we Won the first match.
Hurray
