My report on Volleyball

VolleyBall

 

Keep your head high and work hard every day, because you’ll never get that day back by Lloy Ball.”   It means to not face negativity and to always keep thinking positive you will never get that day back. I will be talking about volleyball, rules and much more. Did you know that  Most volleyball players jump about 300 times a match CRAZY right.

 

Volleyball is a very amazing sport but it's a little difficult because of how many rules the creator had come up with. Some of the rules are basically 6 players on a team, 3 on the front row and 3 on the back row.Maximum of three hits per side.A ball is "out" if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court,any of the net or cables outside the antennae.the referee stand or pole,the ceiling above a non-playable area.Ball may be played off the net during a volley and on a serve. A ball hitting a boundary line is in.Player may not hit the ball twice in succession A block does not count as a hit.

 

I'm going to  be talking about the history of volleyball and how New Zealand has been involved in this sport. Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, physical director of the Young Men's Christian Association YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was designed as an indoor sport for businessmen who found the new game of basketball too vigorous.

 

New Zealanders have been involved in volleyball because of the people that played it like Shaunna Polley, Amy Robinson, Anna Harrison and many more other people. Although we haven't won any medals in volleyball, New Zealand players are still trying their best. 

Volleyball made its Olympic debut at the 1964 Games in Tokyo and remember There's nothing worse than the feeling of wishing you had another chance at a play because you weren't ready by  Karch Kiraly.
