__**VOLLEYBALL**__

Hi, My name is Emily-Ann. Volleyball is a big part in my life. I practice every week morning and Sunday afternoons. I'm passionate about volleyball because I like the feeling of getting a bump or a volley over the net. You feel proud. I like in volleyball how everyone works together as a team.( well you should be ):). I've liked volleyball since I was little because alot of people in my family play it. I guess i've caught onto the passion:) I play for the [|Welland Junior Volleyball League].I also play on two teams at my school [|Glendale Public School] junior and intermediate. I am so lucky to be on the team because i'm not even intermediate.I've learned so much that will help me it's incredible!

__**Things that have made me better!**__  One thing that has made me better is:   One of my coaches for intermediate who is coaching me now. Showed my team and I a college girl volleyball video. It really showed me working together as a team really does help. He also said, " Go for any ball that comes over the net. I would rather have 6 girls going to the ball rather than 1". Heres the video he showed us: media type="youtube" key="d2aYiS3Ti7c" height="315" width="420"

And make it land on the opponents side on the ground, but inbounds.There are six players on the court at all times. The server ,the setter and the other people on the court. You need those four other people. There very important. If you don't have them you'll probably lose every game because you would only have two people on the court.You play up to 25. But if your team is at 25 and the opponents team is at 24 you play up to 27 so that it's fair. Or vice virsa. You get 5 serves and then you rotate. But if you mess up, which is okay the other team gets to serve. The most important thing is getting three hits and making sure that your bumps and volleys are high so that your team can get to them. Another important thing is getting your serve over the net. Or else your just giving the other team free points. Just remember you have a whole team on the court not just you!
