Volleyball
4/5/2019
It's always surprising to see which sport will be the hit each year. It's usually soccer, hockey, or baseball. Those are fairly mainstream sports and one can pick it up with minimal amount of equipment, but this year the volleyball seemed to be a major hit! I saw kids practicing their passes and serves during morning and after school EDP and even learned of a few middle schoolers that are currently playing volleyball at the O'Malley Sports Complex. Volleyball definitely has a steep learning curve. The amount of skills that are needed to be competent in volleyball are endless. Not only do you need to know the basic volleyball skills (passing, setting, hitting, and serving), but there's special awareness, rotation, teamwork, communication and all the rules that come along with playing a sport. What a joy it is to be able to teach such an intense and interesting sport to these eager learners. They certainly rose to the challenge the past two weeks and I can't wait to see them finish the unit this week. If your child is interested in furthering their volleyball skills beyond gym class please me know and I can direct you. Comments are closed.
