Volleyball

I’ve played volleyball for 6 years now and throughout the years, many people have looked at my height in a negative way. People have told me I can’t play volleyball in college because I’m a child of below average height, this was basically saying that I can’t do what I’ve always dreamed of doing. I got extremely discouraged because of the things people were saying. I’m 16 years old and 5 feet tall. I won’t be growing anymore and my height seems to always have a toll on me. I can’t reach the…

As I lay on the hard bed, my head resting on the soft hospital pillow I began to think about the events that led up to that moment. My mother and I were driving back from Aunt Mildredś end of the summer barbeque. All of the windows were rolled down, and the speakers boomed so loudly you could feel the vibrations down by your feet. ¨Danielle, for goodness sakes, will you please put on your seatbelt,¨ my mother stated practically. I reached over for the end of the belt. It felt cold and…

with her, I realize a volleyball team is not pictured in the book. When I ask my mom why, she replies they did not have a volleyball team. The news of this came to as a surprise to me because I have always noticed volleyball as a popular and growing sport. Evidently, volleyball has not always been as popular as it is today. I attend Dyer County High School just like my mother did, but when she attended the sport to play was basketball. Dyer County did not start offering volleyball until the…

them, but the question is which one? Between soccer and volleyball, many people feel that soccer is the better sport.

I looked back on the years that I played high school volleyball and I can see a huge difference in the way I play now. It all started when I was in eighth grade.

The game of volleyball was invented by William G. Morgan in 1895. All other materials were added, some created, and others improved to fit this newfound mixed sport of “don’t let the ball touch the ground”. The net was borrowed from tennis during the same year, the number of players reduced from the total that all could fit on the court, to nine, and finally to six. Basic rules were established from 1895 up until 1970 and are still subject to change depending on the school or association who…

Carlie Niederkorn Mr. Poor Clearwater R-1 Volleyball Captain My senior year we started volleyball and I already knew I could have the freshmen bowing down to me my the snap of a finger. I would be in control. I started using the 3 rhetorical appeals to get what I wanted done. I can use them through words or even movements. I use them all the time.

The volleyball is filled with air, that helps it bounce up when the force of its weight…
