Volleyball- Improvemnt

I have sen improvment into things so far sence the begining of the season. First I have started to serve under hand instead of overhand because it is easier for me to get moentum for serving that way and so my serves are better. Though they are still far from perfect they are getting better. Now I get about 60 percent of my serves over when before it was only about 20 percent. Also I am getting much better at following the rotations. In volleyball you don't just get out on the court, you have base positions you always have to switch to and the poistion that you are in the rotaton and you have to always remember to be a the right one be base or rotation poistion at the right time. In games teammates used to have to help me out and tell me where to go which made our team look less put together. Now I am really getting the hang of it my self and rotate without having to give to much thought.

Next week I have two things I really want to work on. First is my serve, it needs to be more constant. I want to move up to getting the ballover the net nearly everytime by the end of the season. Also I want to work on making sure that I move out of the way for the settter. The second ball in a volleyball game is supposed to always go to the setter but sometimes I space and I see the ball and I just go for it not thinking about the setters role. I need to be more aware because it is very important for the setter to get the ball so that they can set it up to be hit over by the front hitters. This makes for better playing and makes are team look and feel more put together which is very important.

Volleyball- Practice

So far this season we have been practicing a lot. We do many things to help improve our playing like drills and scrimages. So far I have been playing okay. There are two teams, one that is more advanced and one that spends more time working on smallers drills. So far I have been put into both groups. In scrimages I mostly play in the advanced group but when we are working on serving I get put in the other group. This shows me that I am a good team player and good at passing but I still have a lot of trouble serving. This is something that I really need to work on if I am going to get more time playing and games and be a strong asset to my team
