Volleyball July module

So I am back in volleyball after 3 months and some things changed, they added this new tournament called YDT which stands for Youth Development Tournament, it happens every three months and coincidentally it was gonna happen at the end of our July module, it is just like the tune-up I talked about last time. Since there are more new enrollees, we had to start practicing the basics again. Such as overhead pass and dig pass, which are the two simple moves used in volleyball.

In our training, the coaches would spike the ball towards us and we had to receive or set the ball despite how strong the spike is, It is one of my favorite trainings. We also did more icebreaker games which were fun, we got candies if we won, also what we did with normal training was the same as before so it wasn’t anything new to me.

Now time for the Youth Development tournament, during our tournament we had a lot of new players who have never played volleyball before and don’t have a lot of experience in playing and so have I, I only have been playing for a short while. So this is quite embarrassing to say but we lost all four games, we got some points but we didn’t won. But this can be a lesson for me, to train harder, be calm, encourage others, learn from mistakes, and so much more. After this module my goals for my next module is that I will be better at communicating with my teammates, I will try to stop being shy, I will try to be fast, learn how to react quickly. So let’s hope next month we get at least in the top 3 places.
