2013 Volleyball Tour Blog Tour #3 – Day 4 London


2013 Volleyball Tour Blog Tour #3  – Day 4 London.

Today is Sunday…. The day started with our normal 7:45am breakfast. We all gathered in front of the hotel and made our way on the TUBE to our practice site for our morning practice and scrimmage.

The weather was some of the hottest of the year here in London.  It did not take long for us to get warmed up and sweating.  Chris, Russ and Haley had us running drills and getting us organized for the tournament next week in Paris.  John met with the parents to discuss the transfer to Paris and the tournament schedule in Paris.

The last hour we scrimmaged and started to feel more comfortable with our new team mates and the offensive and defensive systems the coaches wanted us to run. 

John reminded us that one of the easiest way to play more like a team was to talk more…. (some of us did not even know each others names yet).

We had about 3 hours for practice then we were to be back to our hotel to get ready for our last day in London.  We had a free evening… many went to dinner… others went to the theater… and others took advantage of the free time to
get in a little extra sleep… (being a tourist is harder than we thought).

John reminded us to pack our bags tonight so that it will be easier tomorrow (a travel day)… and to locate our passports to prepare for our next country … FRANCE.

Tomorrow…. Departure day to France… the Fast Train … and the chunnel

Curfew was 11:30pm and we had no problems
