Volleyball

2016 WVB NYC | UofA vs UofC

Hi everyone!

Today I’m going to tell you about volleyball! I’m on the girls team this year, and we recently had our first game! We played three different schools, and hosted the games at my school. I like volleyball because it’s a sport that challenges you, but is also really fun. My team is really supportive of everyone.

I usually like solo sports. I do track and field, and I like it because you’re always competing with yourself, and trying to get your own personal best. Volleyball is a team sport, but in a way, follows the same sort of thing. Everyone on the team has their own personal techniques, and everyone has different skill levels than others. So you set your own goals to be your best and help the team improve. But really, the whole team is helping each other improve. You have to work together.

Volleyball is a really fun sport, and if you haven’t played before, you should try it out! It’s a great sport to work hard and have fun with your friends. If you don’t do too many sports, this might be the thing for you!

Do you like volleyball? Are you on a team?

Happy blogging!

Gabi

    Hey Gabi!
    I am also on the girls Volley Ball team. I would like to thank every one on the team for being so supportive towards everyone. I know that really helped me when I had to serve, which I am not the greatest at. Sadly I am away for tomorrows game. But, I wish you the very best of luck! Let’s keep being the supper supportive, and fun team we are!

      Hi Olivia!
      Thanks for your comment! I’m really excited for the game, and I’ll definitely miss you there! Cross your fingers! We’re going to my cousins school, and I think she’s on her school’s team, so I might be playing against her! Thanks for your energy, and support, I’m even more excited! Wish us luck!
      Happy blogging!

    Hey Gabi,
    I think that our team is very supportive! Something that I think the team should work on is calling the ball. I also do mostly solo sports. Horse Riding and kickboxing. I think that this volley ball season is going to be a good one! P.S you are amazing at volley ball.
    Have a wonderful day,

      Hey Kayley!
      Thanks for your comment! I agree that calling the ball would definitely help our team. Calling it when we do partner work would help us get more in the habit. Is horse riding fun? Do you ride often? What about kickboxing?
      I’m really enjoying volleyball and I’m glad I signed up. Thank you, I think you’re really good at it too!
      Happy blogging!

    Hi Gabi!
    I think that it’s awesome that you joined for 6th and 7th grade!
    Which schools do you usually play against?
    I think that it’s cool that Olivia’s on the team with you.
    Sincerely,
    Morgan.

      Hey Morgan!
      Thanks for your comment! I wasn’t on the volleyball team for grade six, but I am for grade seven, so this is my first year. I hope I can keep on playing in high school, because it’s really fun. We play against many different schools across the district! We host games at our school, and we also drive to places across town! The other day I played against my cousin!
      Yes, it’s great to have so many friends on my team!
      Happy blogging!

    Hey Gabi! I am absolutely horrible at volleyball, but when I was 8 I saw a movie called “Air Bud” about a golden retriever who plays volleyball. (There’s actually quite a few movies about the same doggy) and for a little while, I “played” (which was me throwing around a volleyball) in my backyard.
    Do you think the high school has a team? If it does, would you join it?
    Have a great day. 🙂

      You’re not horrible at volleyball! At least you try, and put some effort into it. It’s funny how you can get so inspired by movies and books when you’re younger. I’m pretty sure high school has a volleyball team for all grades, and I’ll probably check it out. What about you? I’ve improved a lot since I’ve been on the team. You should try it!
      Happy blogging!
