Volleyball is a game that is fun for people of all ages. While most people have images in their head of freakishly tall athletes jumping out of their shoes at the net to spike a ball, the vast majority of volleyball is played by people who are more inclined to simply return the ball over the net than set it up for a bump, set and spike.
Since volleyball is a relatively simple game, it is a great game for (more…)
Volleyball is one of the sports that schools offer to students. Kids can also play volleyball with their friends in their front yard or at the park. It is one of the games that can be played anywhere as long as you have a ball that can be hit over the net or back and forth to each other.

Any sport, no matter what level it is played at from professional to minor leagues, to a children league, is a great way to bring a town or city together, and really show a sense of pride. Sports are a great team building activity, and is a great way for people to come together and really connect with one another.

Schools should support volleyball more often because it gives young woman and men the opportunity to be part of a team and really gives them an understanding of what it takes to be physically active. Although the sport does not get as much local attention as other sports, it is important to give these athletes the attention that they deserve. Every athlete in high school needs the opportunity to showcase their talents to the community and schools need to support these endeavours with adequate funding and recognition. (more…)
The Georgia Bulldogs Women’s Volleyball program at the University of Georgia is one of the most competitive in its division and its spring season was no different.

There are a number of reasons why high school volleyball is a good sport. For starters, it is a really fun sport to watch. Volleyball gives athletes a chance to show their athleticism and skill in a quick paced sports environment. It takes some incredible hand-eye coordination to hit a volleyball being spiked at someone, and it takes just as much skill and hard work to become a good server, setter, or striker. Volleyball showcases a lot of athletic talent in a quick (more…)
Don’t be too discouraged if your volleyball team did not make state! There are a few reasons why that could have happened and you cannot be too quick to blame yourself or your teammates. Perhaps, the volleyball program at your school is not large enough to generate too much interest. If there are not enough interested students in playing the sport, the team does not have the advantage of picking the best among many, rather accepting anyone that is interested. This can be remedied by (more…)
