This year I decided that I would join the volleyball team at my school. One of my friends really pushed me to do it so that is the main reason I am on the team. This is my first time playing on the team, but I did do off-season volleyball practice for one semester. However, I didn't really fully commit myself to off-season volleyball, so I had to learn a lot of skills during practice. This time around I feel way more committed and engaged with the sport.

This way, we were all staying together instead of separating into our building. I think that this worked well to keep us all togeth...
