The game is all about teamwork, agility, and athleticism. It needs communication, problem-solving skills, and most importantly, the need to work together. The school has practiced every day, so that the teams can improve and get better. From some of the three-year players’ perspectives, it has worked out in the long run.
“I think that as a whole, they are awesome. They have come far from the beginning.” Said one of the team managers, Cadet Zazil Garcia. The girls have also come closer as friends and are starting to act like an actual team. Before, with all of the new people, they were playing as individuals. But with the teams winning and losing together, it brought them closer together. The Volleyball teams are one big family, from senior to freshman.
This team has so many amazing, kind, funny people. Everybody has a part in this team and helps out. “The varsity team has grown closer every game. They talk through solutions to problems that come along in games, as well as help mentor the JV team through hardships,” said three-year player Brenna Williams.
The team all need to help each other here, no matter what. Even if they might not like each other, get along, or have a bad past with someone, all that disappears when they hit the court. This sport has brought everyone closer to people the team never really thought they would talk to. But talking to these people every day changed that for everyone.
“The girls on the team have been and always will be like my sisters, I’m so lucky to have gotten to play with them. This team is the reason my love for the game has grown so much,” Williams said. All the players are happy to have been ble to get to know each other before most of the team graduates.
