Volleyball
One of the things I enjoy doing on my free time is playing volleyball. This is a sport both girl and boys play and it is played at all levels. There are always 6 players on the court at one time. Each player has a different position ranging from a middle hitter, usually the tallest on the court, to a libero, usually the shortest on the court. There are many different rules to the game from overlapping on the court to no jewelry or hard clips in your hair. One of the most complicated rules is overlapping. On the court there different rotations that you can run. There are 6 zones on the court, starting in the back right corner with zone one and going all the way around to the middle back with zone 6. Each player cannot overlap the person in front of them or behind them on a serve receive or a serve, if they do the ball goes to the other team and the other team gets a point. It took me two years to finally understand most of the rules, but everyones different
The position I play is libero or defensive specialist. I am one of the shortest players on my team, therefore I am always playing in the back row. I am one of the players that digs up balls that are either hit or tipped by the other team onto our half of the court. The libero is also the only player that can switch onto the court without having to wait at the 10 foot line to sub in. One of the reasons they can do this is because they switch for only two players, the middles. They also have a different colored jersey than the rest of the team. I love playing volleyball and spending time with my teammates!
Most excited about: A few of the things I am most excited about are sports and meeting new people!
Least excited about: Some of the things I am least excited about are taking finals and the homework load compared to last year!
