Thanks to the 60 students who came out for our Grade 5 and 6 volleyball club! Great participation!
We started with simply tossing the ball to a partner so it would be easier to bump and volley. Our many drills progressed from serving the ball over the net the majority of the time, bumping and volleying with control, and tipping the ball over if it came close to the net.
By the end of our last practice, students were playing games with exciting rallies that included three hits before sending the ball over! Three hits . . . just like we practiced! So much fun to watch!
Thanks to Miss Veitch, Mr. Snyder and SJAM volunteer Abbe Binning for helping out!
