Volleyball

My First Experience in Foster Auditorium When I was in high school I played volleyball all four years. I absolutely loved the sport and couldn’t get enough of it. I played on many travel teams and counted down the days until the summer Olympics, so I could watch the United States team play and dominate the tournament. I know the sport very well, but had never experienced a college game live. I had watched the Olympics since I was a kid and would watch the Texas Longhorns every once in awhile,…

activity that I like the most at school would be playing in volleyball class. The reason for that since I got into a car accident last year I had to stop for a short while but by the time the season started it was too late for me to be on the team, so I settled for the second best thing: Volleyball class. When I play volleyball my mind clear and it helps me think better. When my emotions escape from me I could always just hit the volleyball and nothing could go wrong. I like being on the court…

At some point in every person's life, they will have a special experience that will stick with them forever. One of my most memorable moments happened recently at a home volleyball game against Traverse City West. Approaching freshman volleyball season, the upperclassman spoke highly of the importance of overpowering TC West. As a ninth grader, I had the mindset that I would be playing for the freshmen team. I didn't think it really mattered what the outcome of the game would be, since we were…

determined to make the volleyball team that year. I really enjoyed the concept of the sport. When I played in gym I wanted to experience the real deal. I had many setbacks throughout my years in my volleyball career, however I eventually conquered all my obstacles I encountered and I learned from my experiences. It all started in middle school in my sixth grade gym class. We were all playing a tournament and my team was undefeated. After that exhilarating week of playing volleyball, I then…

Since learning to play volleyball in middle school, I sat mesmerized watching Gator volleyball matches whenever they were broadcasted on T.V.. Their long legs lept up and slammed the ball right down the line, missing their opponents blocks completely. I dreamed of my 11-year-old self out on the courts, diving after a topspin serve and getting the famous pancake. However, my dreams were somewhat stunted, just like my height at five feet and six inches. Still even though my volleyball dreams have…

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.

To start off, the ardent feeling I have for the game comes from the competitive side of it. Of course, having that…

On Tuesday, September 9th, the Northeast varsity volleyball team faced the West Liberty Comets. It was a big game to look forward to because West Liberty was a ranked team and extremely virtuous. I still remember the nervous feeling I had before the start of the game until the first ball was served. The score of the first match ended up being 22-25, with West Liberty taking the win. The following two matches weren’t as close as the first one and West Liberty ended up beating us in the three…
