Beach volleyball

Our athlete, John, is engaging in the motor task of setting a volleyball over a net. He is not encumbered by non-regulatory environmental constraints since the sun is hidden on this cloudy day and there are no spectators to distract, cheer, or make him nervous. John’s movement must conform to the regulatory environmental constraints regarding the size, shape, and velocity of the ball. He is moving to get into position (a mobility constraint) somewhere on a smooth, yet irregular, sandy surface…

Kattie Nail Oct, 8 2015 1B Never Give Up! Bam! The ball hits the net and roles on the gym floor. I have played Volleyball for two years. I've never had so much trouble with something before. " How could something that looks so easy be so hard?" Volleyball has been my favorite sport for the longest time, I never knew I would actually get to play! I have made some of the best of friends through games, camps, and just being on the team. When I was in the eighth grade I had tried out for…

beneficial attack strategies in volleyball is the execution of a fast paced, downwards directional spike. A spike is proven to be one of the most effective shots in volleyball due to its force and difficulty for the opposition to return the shot. Through developments in modern technology in sport, biomechanics has become one of the most influential evaluative sources for skill analysis aiding improvements in sporting performance. A video analysis of my volleyball spike will be reflected upon…

In ninth grade I started to play Volleyball for my school team. At tryouts it was evident that I was a new student to the game of volleyball but my friend and I left tryouts that day with a resolve to practice every second we had free. We made a pact to work on and practice the techniques taught to us by the coaches and the experienced players. Low and behold I made the junior varsity team. The coaches told me that, with practice I would become a great volleyball player. That statement alone…

from Jake Kerschner to send Central Dauphin boys volleyball to the state semifinals, I could feel the excitement spread through the gym like wildfire. Never had I expected I would feel that much exhilaration over a volleyball game. Little did I know attending that state playoff game would dramatically change the course of my four years of high school. Less than one year later, I decided that I wanted to experience that rush of adrenaline that volleyball seemed to promise. When I told my family…

would you know that playing the same sport in two different environments could possibly change your view on the sport entirely. For me volleyball is the game I feel a passionate love for, that is why I chose to play club and high school volleyball. Club volleyball's environment and competitiveness make a player a better athlete than high school, making club volleyball better. To start off, the ardent feeling I have for the game comes from the competitive side of it. Of course, having that…

Growing up, I always had a volleyball in my hands. I craved competition and had a desire to win. I worked hours on end, improving my skills. However, I most appreciate the irreplaceable bond my teammates and I formed over the years of practice, tournaments, and games. My passion for volleyball all began in the first grade when my mother dropped me off at my first volleyball camp. I timidly entered the gym, full of unfamiliar girls running and warming up. My hair was in pigtails and my…

Trying out for volleyball was the best decision I made as a freshman. I didn’t know much about the sport at the time; all I knew was that it seemed like a complicated version of ‘Don’t let the balloon touch the ground’. Nevertheless, it seemed fun and I wanted to give it a try. As the years when on, my volleyball team became my community, my second family. The camaraderie you have with your teammates is undeniable; you share an unbreakable bond. You see each other at your highest and lowest…

I remember the first time I picked up a volleyball like it was yesterday. I loved the feeling of it and immediately wanted to be involved. The first time I joined a team was when I was around 10 or 11. I immediately loved it, but wasn’t the best at it and got discouraged for not being the best. When I was younger, I always had to be the best at everything. If I wasn’t the best then I wanted to quit. My step dad then helped me through it and we practiced all of the time. I then joined a different…
