       Volleyball is a fun sport, and it is exciting to play.  There are many rules in volleyball, such as servers must be behind the restraining line, each team rotates  when they get the serve,  and each side is limited  to three hits.  These are the basic rules.  You play with six people on the court, three up to the net and three in the back row.  There are different positions you can play.  You can be an all-around player as in you play net and back, or your job is to be setter or libero.  As setter, you only play front row.  You get second hit and you set it up so a hitter can spike or down ball it.  As libero, you have a different color jersey and you only play back row.  You switch in for two people and serve for one of them.  You play almost the whole game. There are a lot of strategies in volleyball.  You have to get your timing down to spike it, and when you are bumping you want to be able to control it to wherever you want it to go.  When setting, you have to hit it with the tips of your fingers and not your palm.

                My favorite thing we do for practice would have to be when we practice down balling it and spiking, because it really helps you on getting where you need to be and if you are doing your  approach right.  During a game I like to really focus on the ball, which messes me up a lot, but if you shake it off you will do great. Most people enjoy volleyball.  It is an awesome sport, and I love it.
