Volleyball

Volleyball games are a time with excitement and intensity for all ages. From digging, and sets to serving and kills, this sport has mastered the art of entertainment for all. Volleyball is one of my favorite sports. Though I don’t get to play it all year round, the memories of the events will forever stay. During these events many things do occur, like friendship, trust, and believing in yourself that you can do more. This has encouraged me to portray opportunities and do more actives.…

with a stretch. Game day had arrived, and as a team, we were all ready to go out and kill it. We had already gotten dressed in our new uniforms, stretched, and finished warming up our legs in the Pequot Lakes High School hallway. Pequot had a great volleyball program, along with some great players, so we knew that the match against them would be a tough one. We all gathered in the locker room with the coaches, and the starters names were already written on the whiteboard: Hiltner, Borders,…

Well that’s how accomplishing big goals can sometimes end up. Losing by only a couple points can definitely be very heart- breaking. Being able to go the AAU volleyball State Tournament is a big accomplishment; and many great teams are able to make it there. Do you think my team had what it took to make it? As we are in ADM for a volleyball tournament, we all know that we have to try our best no matter if it’s a qualifying tournament or not. We all have team bonding in between games to know…

I have played volleyball ever since I can remember. I have played club, school, JV, Varsity, nationally, internationally, and have spent more hours than I can count dedicated to volleyball. My passion for the sport has given me so many special attributes. Being on a team my whole life has given me collaborative abilities where I have become a reliable and supportive teammate. I have been the captain of my club teams every year since I began. This role of leadership has extended beyond my…

What Volleyball Taught Me When I was younger I realized that I loved volleyball and I wanted to play it all the time. I remember being so excited for tryouts when I was in 7th grade. It was the first week of school and tryouts were 3 days long. I remember thinking to myself that 3 days was going to seem like an eternity, and it did. Volleyball has taught me a lot about failure and how to come back from it. From playing volleyball you learn that not everything always works out and that's okay.…

positive that all of you in this room know what is it like to lose. How did you react? Were you bitter? Did you cry? You might’ve been angry or maybe you didn't even care. The last time I can recall losing…. I was overjoyed. I was on the Trojan Girls Volleyball Team. Our team consisted of eleven girls and we were competing for the finals against the team from Pewaukee. Throughout the game I felt excitement, then frustration, and last but definitely not least…..satisfaction. Before the…

Tonight's game meant everything. The Berwick High School volleyball team was embarking on a three-hour journey to compete against Westlake High School for the second round of playoffs. The town was exuberant for how far the team had come. As the bus took off, we all took our seats, put our headphones on, and got into battle mode. Adrenaline pumped through our veins. A cold chill ran up my spine as I realized that tonight's game could be my last game ever. Time passed and we finally arrived at…

but then you tried it and loved it? That's how volleyball was for me. I played for the park district when I was younger, but I didn't enjoy it. The problem was that my mom played in college and it's always been her favorite sport, so I knew that I would have to play when I got older. My mom told me that I would try it out, and if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have to play. Turns out, I really love volleyball! So I tried out for my school's volleyball team. Well, I didn't actually go to tryouts (I…

talking to my sister and she said why don’t you play volleyball. I said I don’t know anything about it. She said she will teach me so we went outside and get a ball. She told me how to pass and at first I didn’t get it, but then I finally got it. She then told me how to set and hit. Then I started to get the tech of it and I played to play after that. I thanked her for her help and I have been playing ever since. My talent is volleyball I love to play everyday and it my life. It a talent…
