After school and a nap I walked down to the volleyball practice. The first practice was really hard because I didn't know any of the techniques and I didn't even know how to hold the ball correctly. Today was much better. We started with a warm up and ran around the court a couple of times and stretched. Then we got into pairs and I learned a new standing position for the sport and practiced the bump with my partner who is one of the girls in my class at school.
Later we started clapping all together when the ball was at its highest point in the air and just started talking about more techniques. Our coach then set us up in the volleyball positions and we started to play the game. It didn't take me long before I really got into the game and I was pleased to hear that my coach was happy about my improvement. After that, we practiced the dunk and my hand started hurting after a short while.
Now I have bruises all over my arms and on my forehead, but I had a blast and I can't wait until Monday because I have another practice then. I will go to the sporting goods store sometime this weekend and get the stuff I need before next practice. : )
Hugs and kisses,

I am glad you are on a team also. I loved to play volleyball too! You will have lots of fun. I enjoyed watching the USA womens's team in the Olympics. I think they won the GOLD.
