Volleyball

My blog is going to be about volleyball. I've been playing volleyball basically all my life. I started to play leisurely when I was in 1st grade and I broke my finger playing it with my sister. I started playing on a team for an AAU club in 3rd grade and then I went on in 4th grade to play my old school. I played AAU volleyball for about three years. I also played school volleyball for four years. This year it is going to be my fourth year playing for a USAV volleyball club,which starts in November until mid June. Also, this year, as a freshman I made the school JV Volleyball and it has been a lot of fun so far. On Tuesday we played Churchill and Franklin, and we beat Franklin and lost in the third game against Churchill but it was a close game. On Saturday we had a tournament and we won 2nd place which is really good, being that it's our second tournament. Today, September 23rd, we our having our first home game. I really hope we win, and this is season should be a lot of fun. The team, for my USAV club, that I am on, has very good teams. My second year playing at the club i was on the 13 National Team and i had tons of friends on the team as well, and we made it to the Junior Olympics in Minnesota. The sad thing was, i had hurt my wrist during the season and my doctor said I couldn't go, but my team didn't do very good against the Hawaiian and Puerto Rican teams. Every year for the USAV club we go to Chicago and play the national teams, and it is always so much fun, especially when we have free time and walk around the city. Volleyball for me isn't just a sport I play, it is a hobby and I enjoy it more than any sport.
