Volleyball is a fun sport to watch and to play. This sport consists of making 3 passes and hitting the ball over the net on the third touch. This sport requires you to pay attention to the ball as well as the players you share the court with. You never know where the ball might go. It is important to practice in order to improve your skills like bumping and setting the ball, also when you do a kill you need to jump high.  According to Google, “Volleyball was invented in December 1895 by William G. Morgan in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Morgan, a physical education director at the YMCA, sought to create a less physically demanding indoor sport for businessmen as an alternative to basketball, which had been invented just a few years earlier by his friend James Naismith.”

This year I have started playing Volleyball in the USA at the high school of Chittenango, near Syracuse. The team in this school is awesome and, even though I have no idea how to play because I have never played, I’m glad that I’m a part of the team because I have so much fun and I like all my teammates. For example this week we have 3 games, one on Tuesday against Canastota, Thursday against Oneida, and on Saturday against Sauquoit Valley. Sometimes in the games I’m on the bench or playing, mostly on the bench but I don’t care because I cheer for my team a lot and I understand that I’m not the best option to be on the court. This is going to be until the end of February or first days of March.  These are going to be hard days and hard games but I think that with effort we will be in sectionals.
