Bump–set–spike–BOOM!!! Point! Volleyball, well it is very intense. It looks so easy when you watch it but really it is HARD! So this is about the time that I would tell you why it is so hard….
The focus that it takes to play is even harder than taking a quiz. You have to be 100% focused the whole entire game. One tilt of the wrist and the ball could go a-wall. The angle of your body and hands all determines where the ball will go.
Position is key when you are on the court. If you are a middle blocker you have to be tall enough to reach above the net to block the other teams hits. Volleyball is all about the timing. The power– the speed– the thrill.
Volleyball is a difficult sport. It takes as much focus and agility as another sport does. Isn’t that why it is called a sport?:) You have to be strong to serve, powerful to spike, carful to set, and aligned to bump. All around Volleyball takes a lot of coordination.
You are totally right, volleyball is hard! One wrong move can equal one point lost. And one lost point after another can lead to a whole volleyball game sliping through your fingers. Precision is key, but recognizing errors can help your game in the future. As you said, Volleyball takes many different skills, which is why I love that there are many different positions including outsides, middles, right-sides, defensive specialists, and setters. No matter what your specialty, there is always a position for you!
It would be really boring if there weren’t different spots for everyone! I love the variation!
