Volleyball

The girls' volleyball team is back and better than ever! The girls are focused and ready to compete, while also representing their very own Huskies of Chino Hills. The team practices every day from 5:00 to 7:00 inside the small gym. During each practice, the team works on their skills and aims to improve themselves to get ready for competitions. During a competition, the girls give it their all and don't let themselves get distracted by anything. When they're not practicing, the girls focus on…

On April 2015, my volleyball team (The Pirates Volleyball Club) and I, won second place in the Manitoba Championships. We had to work really hard to get to where we were, because at the beginning of the season, our coaches put us with the age group that was one year older than us. When we started, we really struggled in tournaments. As we progressed, we worked our way up and up and got to first place, but then in our last game, against the grade eight (now grade nine) girls of Grant Park, we…

Swinging the door open, I press my sweaty palms against my jeans and nervously walk to the front desk. “I’m here to pick up my results,” I choke out. The woman behind the desk asks for my name, and I give it to her. She hands me a thin stack of papers, still warm from being printed. Leaning towards me she whispers, “You know, you can come back and retake the math segment in thirty days if you want to, sweetie.”…

Volleyball Growing up I always played softball, my whole family grew up playing. My cousin was playing college ball and I was expected to do the same. I loved softball, but playing all the time I was starting to lose my love for it. I played year round regular season, all stars, and travel ball. It was very tiring so when 7th grade came around and I had the chance to try out for volleyball I took it. Turned out I loved it and I wasn’t too bad at it. I have never been too good at trying new…

why girls should play Volleyball is because if they don’t know how play volleyball it would help them if they play Volleyball by serving and about sportsmanship. I learn from research that girls that play Volleyball or play any other sports that they are most likely to not be sick then what other girls that don’t play Volleyball. I think that the other reason why girls should play Volleyball is because they are close with their coach and their teammates to win a Volleyball game when they have a…

When it comes to critiquing my performance in volleyball, it comes down to either I had a good practice, or I had a bad practice. It would be great if I could only have good practices but that is impossible. Bad practices are inevitable; they are bound to happen. With so many different skills to perform, it is difficult to execute and be great in all of them. However, I feel like it is beneficial to have the occasional bad practice here and there. Players can still improve from having a bad…

AAU State Volleyball Have you ever been to a State volleyball tournament? Well, I have. When you would enter the gym, all you would hear is young teenage girls screaming and cheering. It was the best experience I have ever had. If I had the choice to go back to those few days, I would in a heartbeat. In order for us to go to state, we had to play in a tournament. We played every team that was there. When we got to the very last game, we had to play Western Christian. The game was going great…

My most meaningful and rewarding leadership activity is paving the way for my Varsity Volleyball team to play in the lower state championship game during my senior year. Our practices consisted of two hours long and five days a week of different strategic drills. This constant tough process led to poor attitudes and technique. Although my personality is timid, I took it upon my self to step out of my comfort zone and respectively confront my teams stagnant standpoint. Through this approach, I…

events, and getting hurt playing volleyball was one of my biggest. This year my plan was to go to DSU and play volleyball and run track here. While playing volleyball this year I hurt my back really bad, and I was told I shouldn’t do sports anymore. Sports are my life and I love everything about it, so when I was told this it was a sad traumatic event for me. Not only did it changed my life but I changed everything that I do on a daily basis. During volleyball one day I was playing just like…

for this upcoming freshman year, what I think about myself, and who I am as a person currently. My year long goal is to achieve great things. These achievements include grades, but they also include sports. My ambition is to become a better volleyball and lacrosse player. To achieve these goals I will work hard. In school, I will get my homework done, if I don’t understand something I will ask questions about it, and I will study hard for the summatives. To improve on my sports I will…
