An overview

Just like any other sport, there is more to it than just the game. Many people over look how hard mentally and physically sports can be. I based my blog about volleyball because I feel like people overlook how difficult the sport actually is. Also I wanted to give a brief understanding of how the game works as well as all the rules. I am very passionate about this sport and want people to appreciate it as much as I do. I hope whoever reads this gained information about the sport and how it works.

My current volleyball team -

I play for Upward Stars Columbia 17 Haver. Stars Volleyball was just named the number one club team in South Carolina. My team just went to a volleyball tournament in Rockhill, South Carolina. We entered the tournament placed 23rd out of 25 teams. We ended with a record of 4-1 and placed 5th. Our team had the best serving percentage out of the whole tournament. There were hundreds of teams. I got many aces as well as lots of kills and blocks. I included some film from this tournament at the bottom!

Collegiate Athletics

It is a dream of mine to continue my athletic career and play as a collegiate athlete. The dream would be to play at Clemson University. Being a collegiate athlete is more than skill. You have to be a good teammate. You have to be able to persevere and be determined to be the hardest worker on and off the court. You have to be disciplined. As well as being able to prove that you are good enough to play at a higher level. I have researched and seen the difference between high school and college volleyball. They have their similarities and differences. Overall no matter what you have to be determined to strive for excellence!

My volleyball experience:

I have played volleyball for 5 years and sport has made me grow as a teammate, as well as a helped me grow as a person. Volleyball takes grit, determination, dedication, perseverance, love for the sport, and much more. You have to be able to work as a team or it won’t work. You have to be able to not be selfish at your mistakes and learn to “shake it off” and get the next point. This game is extremely mentally challenging. I have and still am struggling with this one as I get mad at myself after I mess up. But being able to shake off the mistake and be better the next point is just as good as killing a ball.

All about the middle blocker:

I have played volleyball for 5 years and I have been a middle blocker all 5 years, so I have a very good understanding of this position. The middle blocker has many jobs. They have to be able to get in the air fast to swing at the ball. As well as following the ball to put up a solid block, because the higher the level of play the more important the block becomes. The middle blocker is usually very tall and a very good hitter. I have attached a more in depth video explaining the middle blocker because this is a very hard position.

Rules of Volleyball:

When people first think of volleyball, most don’t understand all of the rules that volleyball consist of. This sport has lots of rules. First, only six players are allowed in one side of the court at one time. There are two sides of the court. Next, There is a setter, who sets up the hitters, an outside hitter, middle hitter, and three passes, one including the libero which is the best passer on the team, I included a more in depth understanding at the bottom. Each team has 3 touches to get the ball back over, seems easy right? Well there are many rules that make this harder than it seems. You cannot catch the ball in anyway, life the ball up, as well as the same player can not touch the ball twice in a row consecutively. These are only a few out of the many rules of volleyball.

When and where was volleyball created?

Volleyball is a sport that both men and women play. Volleyball was created in 1895 by William G. Morgan. This sport was created in an old YMCA (Young Mens Christian Association) gym located in Massachusetts. Before volleyball gained its name, it was originally names “mintonette”. The first national tournament took place in New York City in 1922. Shortly after the United States Volleyball Association was formed in 1928. Volleyball shortly made its way nationally by American Troops during WW1. The history of volleyball is a very important reason of why the sport is so big today!
