Volleyball.
Funky Platypus gave me a bit of inspiration for this blog.
There's something about high socks, knee pads, and bumping a volleyball around that gives me an all time high. Spiking. I love it. Not only, can I make nonreturnble spikes, but, volleyball is a sport to vent out anger. I love it, I seriously do. I have had mainly the same team mates since fourth grade. It never mattered who we were, what mattered was what we became when we became a team. We were tough as nails. Intense practices, running, push ups, suicides. You name it, we probally did it. Not only were we tough, but we had enthusiasm. So, one of us made a mistake. Big deal. We still cheered our heads off for each other. It really paid off when we took home that first place division trophy. The perfect season. 13-0.
This was my last year apart of this team, because now I have to go to highschool. A few of the girls are attending my highschool, but, if of course won't be the same.
Volleyball is just a love hate relationship. Every athlete complains they just don't want to do it anymore. But, we all know, we're truly passionate about it.

That is AWESOME! That's exactly how softball goes. We work our asses off (don't even get me started on what we had to do for conditioning this year), and we get incredibly whiny and tired every now and then, but we've never felt like quitting.
Volleyball's really fun too! And it IS a great way to take out that agression! I can just feel it in every serve, BAM! But the high school coaches were d*cks, because everyone said that I should have made the team last year even if I had trouble spiking, because I was a better setter and server than a lot of other people. Even though I didn't make it, it's still one of my favorite sports!
Next up: Basketball =)

I loved this blog. :]
I adore volleyball, too. ^_^
Don't be worried about highschool. Try out for their volleyball team, and you'll meet new people who are just as passionate about it as you are. :] If you're really as good as you sound, you'll definitely make the team.
Try and involve yourself in the most teams possible. ^_^ It's fun.
I was on three teams this season, and I'm gonna try for them all again next year. =]
