Blog #3: My game experiences

Image
Today I will talk about my game experiences. When I played during high school, I wasn’t in a team. I would always play with my friends during P.E., or lunch, and with my family for fun. Even If I played with a net, it wasn’t very serious. One of my first experiences was when I went to open gym. I was a sophomore. The girls volleyball hosted an open gym at my school. Some of my guy friends went to go play. I warmed up with the girls and did hitting lines. I wasn’t very good. We were playing a game called U.S.A. It’s when a team scores a point, they shout the letters until they get to the last one. The coaches would toss the balls over. Whenever the balls were coming towards me, I would move out the way, which made my team lose.  I was nervous and I felt really bad. After the open gym, I was very upset. I didn’t feel like playing anymore. But instead, I still kept playing for fun. My first ever game took place at Lindhurst High School. I was a senior. I was playing with a couple of p...

Blog #2: My hitting Journey

  Today I’ll be talking about my hitting journey. When I would play with my friends in a circle, I could hit a bit. I wasn’t very good though. Whenever I played with my family or with friends with a net, my approach wasn’t good. I couldn’t jump, or hit. I only knew how to roll the ball over. I wanted to be better. Over the summer after Junior year, I went to volleyball camp with my Cousin. We learned how to approach, time, and hit. Whenever I tried, I still didn’t get any better. I kept hitting into the net and my timing was off.  When senior year started, there was a net that we got to play with outside. I still wasn’t very good at hitting. I had a friend who can set the ball. He would set for my friends and me. I still tried even if it wasn’t good. The more I tried, the more my Approach got better. I still wasn’t good at hitting. I kept going under the ball which made it go up instead of down. The more I played with my friends during lunch, the more I got better. Over tim...

My Volleyball Journey

Image
Hello, my name is Midnight and my blog is going to be about my volleyball journey. Volleyball is my favorite sport to play. I never played with a team in high school or middle school. It’s a hobby I enjoy doing with my friends and family. It’s also something I always want to get better at.  It started with high school. The only time I played was with my friends. We would play in a circle, or get into teams and pretend there was a net. I was never really good. I was only good at passing. I used to watch videos on how to get better, for example;  how to serve overhand ,  how to spike , and how to set . I would practice in my backyard. The summer after my junior year, I went to volleyball camp with my cousin. It was a pretty fun experience. We were taught techniques and tips. When senior year was coming, I wanted to try out for the girls volleyball team. Sadly I didn’t make it, but that didn’t stop me from playing.  During lunch break, I would play volleyball with my ...
