Yesterday was the start of Emily and her friend Brianna Bell's first beach volleyball tournament ever. Since Emily decide a few months back to take the summer off from basketball and concentrate on Volleyball, she has been looking forwarded to a summer of volleyball in the sun. After months of co-ordinating and the past month of practice, the girls headed out to Spanish Banks Park in Vancouver saturday afternoon. With the official start of summer yesterday, the weather could not have better and the girls played well representing their club Sideout. Playing on the beach is hard work and the girls won 2/3 matches, only losing to the 2nd ranked team in BC during their pool play and finished second in their pool heading in today's championships rounds.
