Volleyball Reflection

For the past few weeks, Marama has been going to HPC to learn to play volleyball from some amazing Year 12s. I was in Team 1. In my team was Katie, Sophie, Jocelyn, Kurt, Matthew, Josh, Jonty, and Noah. Our coaches names were Grace, Sophie and Aidan. We attended 5 sessions, which were really fun! On the last session, we had a big tournament, where we played every team. We won two games and lost 5. Although we didn’t do as well as we could have, we still tried our best.
I think that the hardest skill for me was definitely the dig. It was hard to get my hands in the right position in time. But I definitely improved a lot over the 5 sessions! My favourite skill was the set. I think I was really good at that one! The other skill we learnt was the serve. I was alright at that, but I could have been better.

We had to use Resilience when we were learning all of the skills. It was hard, so we had to persevere!
We had to use Connecting because when we played in a team, we had to talk to each other!
Overall, I really enjoyed our volleyball sessions. I think the only downside in volleyball is that your arms go very red!
