Volleyball is a very popular sport. There are many different levels for players from beginners all the way to the advanced level. Each athlete needs to choose the path they will take in their volleyball career. As a current volleyball player, I believe that club volleyball is more intense and fast-paced than school volleyball.

The atmosphere in a club tournament is incredible and the cheering is deafening. There is always a game going on and tables full of shirts, sweatpants, sweatpants and head-bands are placed all around the arena for players to buy at their own leisure. Most tournaments are so big and have so many teams that they need to be held in a college gymnasium. There are several concession stands within the whole tournament venue. With all the diverse players you become great friends with a lot of people from all around the area. In contrast, school volleyball is not as loud or big. When it is a freshman game, the stands are usually only full of parents and relatives. There aren’t as many other …show more content…

Since school volleyball is open to everyone and the coach does not cut players, then the average skill level can be much lower. Some people haven’t even played volleyball before they get into high school and can still make a place on the team. It basically depends on how good the team is. The competition at the high school level is less intense than club volleyball. With club volleyball, the coaches are looking for a higher skill level and intensity than what the high school coaches are looking for. Club volleyball is typically known

for having better competition and a higher skill level than high school volleyball. Many people prefer club volleyball over school volleyball because it has better competition. The teams are tougher and the games are longer but with school, it is the opposite, the teams are easier and the games are

    As freshmen, we realized the athletic competition was better, and there was multiple different clubs we could join. The classes we could take got harder, and we had just switched to a one-to-one curriculum, so this meant everyone received a laptop. This is also when I set my goal of keeping a 4.0 GPA all throughout high school. These were opportunities I did not think about when I first found out I was moving. The clubs and the sports gave my classmates and myself a chance to make friends with the three grades above us. Our class slowly drifted apart as we branched out and made new friends in different grades. Our sophomore and junior year was similar to my freshman year. We stayed in our different groups as we continued to explore our interests. Junior year came along with many different changes. Because there were very few senior girl athletes, the junior class had the opportunity to take the role as leaders on the court and on the field. Underclassmen looked up to the juniors for leadership and advice. This opportunity helped change me as a person. I had to show the underclassmen what hard work looked like, and what it took to be successful. This opportunity also made me realize how hard I had to work if I wanted to continue to be successful in athletics and eventually play college volleyball. My junior year also provided my classmates and I with the opportunity to take

    I practically was born with a ball in my hands, and whether it was bumping the ball around the house or knocking over things that just happened to be in my path, I was always with my precious volleyball.

    This is mainly due to the fact that funding was acquired to build a multi court indoor sports hall. This allowed me to have easy access to the facilities and equipment that is needed to participate in volleyball on a regular basis. Also the fact that KSHS has a volleyball unit incorporated into the senior physical education curriculum has allowed my participation in volleyball to grow as it is compulsory to participate. The access to competition has also affected my participation rate personally as each year the school allows teams to participate in the Schools Cup Volleyball competition. However KSHS does not allow the younger grades to participate in this competition this then limits the participation I had in grade 8-9 as there was no way I could compete. My participation rate was also affected in as I was not able to compete at schools cup if I competed in touch football all schools. This swayed my participation away from volleyball as there was more competitions to participate in and more chance of success in touch which therefore saw me choose to participate in touch. My participation in sport was again moved away from volleyball as the Wide Bay district area does not let students represent in both touch and volleyball. Due to the fact that my chance for success was higher when trialling for touch it lowered my participation rate in

In addition, your class could be on any of the 3 complicated levels, unlike Middle School, where there are only two levels your class could be located. Furthermore, there are more sport days and practices than in Middle School and is more competitive. Sports would be more difficult since you have to compete with older people and sport days occur more often. Not only that, there are more have-to events occurring on a weekly basis, so it makes it easier to get punished. For instance, you have to wake up earlier now for Chapel and assemblies, unlike in Middle School, plus the fact that your classes could be on any of the 3 levels for Upper School. Additionally, you have to work harder in Grade 9 and is much busier in general.

    Volleyball represents my most meaningful commitment not just because I have invested so much into it, but also because it it’s a passion of mine and has been a part of my life since elementary school. The impact my coaches and teammates have had on my life has helped make me the confident and determined individual I am today. Volleyball also takes up a lot of time and there are many sacrifices that come with the sport and playing on a team.

I just finished volleyball season, in which i have played for the last four years of high school. I also participated in basketball and track for two of the four years. Therefore, for two years of my high school career I was a three sport athlete. Part of being able to participate in these school activities means that your grades have to meet certain standards. Our athletics go so farther than just grades though, the are very strict when it comes to bad behavior such as, ISS, OSS, drugs, alcohol, etc. The have little to no tolerance to acting out or not behaving in a manner that represents the school in a good way.
