Grade 9 Volleyball Try Outs

  It was that time of the year again, and volleyball was starting, but this year was going to be different. It wasn't like it was back in middle level when you wrote your name on a piece of paper and you are automatically on the team. This time, I was in high school and you actually had to try out for the team. I was really nervous because I didn't know if I would make it or not because I had never seen any of the other girls play before. So on the night of junior varsity try outs, varsity try outs were going on as well on the other side of the gym. For the first fifteen minutes of jv try outs, we just did basic drills. Then I heard my name called to go to the other side of the court, which was where the varsity try outs were taking place. I wasn't sure what was going on, so I just went to the other side to see what they wanted. The varsity coaches told me that they wanted me to try out for their varsity team and play for them. I wasn't sure what to do, and it took me a long time to choose, but I decided to go for varsity, and I made the team as a power hitter, and one of the team captains.
