Volleyball Monologue
How To Play Volleyball!

Imagine you are in a dark, deserted, brick alleyway. A night owl hoots in the distance. Your phone just died and you are ten miles away from home. You are bored out of your mind because you cannot think of anything to do. Zing! A motorcycle coughing black smoke streaks by, but does not notice you. No one is walking by because the dingy, damp alleyway you are stranded in is not a place anyone wants to be. It is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. If you have a ball, you could play volleyball with the wall, but only if you know how. In this situation, you would wish with all your heart that you knew how to play volleyball. You can learn how by using my challenging, but accurate process to bump, underhand serve, and

    What? You got something you want to say to me too? Yea, well get in line, there’s a lot of people trying to get a word in. I mean, who do they think they are to judge me? The world made me dishonest not the other way around. Do they really think that I fancy cheating my way through life? I don’t wish to be this way but is there any other way I can survive in this society? I live in the public eye. I have to take more care than the rest of them to protect my image, but how could they ever understand.…

    Essay About Volleyball

    Since I have decided to become a better volleyball player, I will condition and study the sport. First, every day I will go to the gym, run for fifteen minutes to help with my endurance and lift weights every other day, such as squatting and deadlifting. By going to the gym, it will help me to keep up with my more advanced volleyball friends during long rallies and long games. In order to help with my volleyball skills, I plan on going to local San Jose open gyms. At the open gyms, I will focus on hustling so that every time I pass the ball I am behind it. While passing I will be in a low squat on the balls of my feet, my shoulders shrugged, and eyes always on the volleyball. When I am setting I will still be on the balls of my feet, knees…

    I, Captain Torres, who believes that our country should have better conditions, am here to bring out a new revolution! You people, who oppose us, definitely did not think it through! Have you ever thought about your living conditions? Wouldn’t you want to improve it? Or make it a better place for all of us to live in? Look at yourself and look at people around you! Don’t you people see what’s going on in our country? Do any of you even have the mood to just smile for one second? Eight years ago, November 18, 1968, in Turkey, Richard Moses, the leader of the Turkish people in a town, brought out a revolution! It was a total success! You stupid people didn’t know about it, did you? Every single person in Turkey cheered for the dramatic change! They received good food, decent wages, ethical living conditions, and millions more! Don’t you want any of those fantastic conditions? Take some time to think about your stupid actions stopping us! Think precisely! This is actually not only for our advantages, but also for the good of everyone single person here in this town! I command all of you to listen to me and support me! You will be living in broken houses, wearing torn clothes and barely having any food supplies! So, stop complaining about foolish people. Now, do not waste my precious time! Let’s get out of here! Let’s leave all these foolish people here and get on our way to the new revolution! Let’s go, I said…

    I sat there, riding home from a football game finding myself spacing off thinking about basketball. basketball is starting soon and i cant help thinking about getting to play varsity. I miss the smell of the gym right before a basketball game and the feel of the basketball grooves. I actually kind of miss the bad tasting water from the school water fountain. One thing that I miss the most about basketball is the feeling of trying your hardest and succeeding at it.…

    Where you are can explain who you are. Why you are in a particular place and how you got there tell an outside observer about your decisions and the inferred motives behind those decisions. In “Ex-Basketball Player,” John Updike introduces a character whose surroundings emulate his success in life: Flick Webb. Flick’s momentary success did not remain later in his life. Because setting partially defines a person, Updike uses it, along with tone and irony to remind readers that success is as fickle as humans themselves.…

    Basketball is a game I started very recently. In fact, I was hardly interested in it. The complexity of the game always made me feel like I’d never enjoy being a part of it. However, the game took me by surprise. A lot of my close friends were part of the team and they were so passionate about it. Very recently, in the beginning of 12th grade, my friends coerced me to attend practice. Waking up early morning and running to the gym was literally the worst part of my day.…

    Diving on the ground to get the ball up, setting the ball outside, and having your hitter slam the ball into the opponents side of the court. That is what volleyball is all about and why I have such a love for the game. I am here to tell you about why this sport is so important to me and also why it plays a very big role in my life. For me when I play it’s about being a team, going out there and showing yourself and the crowd that you know what you’re doing. In the time you are on that court you leave everything behind you and focus on one thing: playing your game no matter the outcome and leaving everything on the floor.…

    Growing up, I was never naturally athletic and very injury prone. Regardless of these issues, I always remained determined and strived to accomplish my goals. As I enter high school one of my main goals was to make the varsity tennis team. During my freshmen year I practiced every day for the first 3 months of school hoping that I could just make the team. Unfortunately I tore a ligament in my wrist for the second time which prevented me from practicing till right before the tennis season started. I ended barely making the JV team which was very disappointing, but it only motivated me for next year. In my heart I knew that I if I was determined enough I could play varsity next year on my own merit. As I progressed through the sophomore year,…

    Court Volleyball

    • 946 Words

    The positions required for court volleyball are quite different from beach volleyball. Court volleyball requires there to be six people on each side of the court. The players wear knee pads and ankle braces to protect their bones and joints, and they wear tennis shoes for traction and foot protection. Each player has a specific job. There are passers, blockers, hitters, setters, and defensive specialists; generally there is one of each, with an additional hitter, although everyone on the court can play almost any role at a given time. Since there are so many people on the court, there is a higher chance of one of the players touching the ball and keeping it in play than it hitting the floor and becoming a dead ball.…

    I signed up for volleyball. I have only had two practices. Hitherto, I acquired the skills of passing the ball, serve overhand, and set the ball. I failed to attend the first practice. As a result, I do not know how to properly serve underhand. Practice is every Friday night from six “o” clock to six forty-five at Anderson Farm Park. Moreover drills, we play games. One game I relish is where a person serves the ball to the other side of the net and tries to hit someone. If they are not successful, they have to sit were the ball landed. If they do strike someone, they earn a point. Volleyball is an enjoyable experience.…

    The movements of Volleyball are a complex combination of strength, power, agility, and finesse. Each of these components is comprised of intricate, small movements, the summation of which are coordinated acts of striking the volleyball in a desired fashion. Due to the many aspects related to the biomechanics of volleyball, not every strike of the ball is perfect. Many times, mistakes made by athletes are due to the impossibility of executing hundreds of tiny movements perfectly every single time.…

    (yawns and stretches out arms) Oh good morning everyone, didn’t know I had company (walks over to spotlight). You could never imagine how excited I am. Why you ask? Well… today is my very first soccer game this season and I’ve been waiting for this day for 5 whole months! But that’s okay because it’s going to be worth it (walks to kitchen). My coach told my team and I that we have to eat good the whole entire day, drink at least (8 fingers up) this many glasses of water and that we can’t do anything that will tire us out...just relax. So I made a schedule for what I’m going to do today, I’m warning you though it ain't gonna be fun. Since my game is not till 6:00pm and it is only 9:00 o’clock in the morning, I have 9 hours until my soccer game. So the first thing my schedule says to do is…(reads schedule) make a peanut butter sandwich and drink a glass of water. (grabs peanut butter, bread and a glass of water) this looks like a good breakfast… don’t you think? (eats breakfast) Yum that was good (rubbing stomach while licking lips). Okay lets see whats next on my schedule… (reads schedule) relax and drink lots and lots of water. Hmm maybe I should do some homework, but that might make me hurt my brain and I can’t afford that to happen, no way! I think i’ll just watch tv or maybe a movie and then eat lunch at 1:30 (gets three glasses of water, then turns on tv). Lets see what’s on… ‘Phineas and Ferb’, then ‘Shake It Up’, and then my favourite ‘Hannah Montana’ Movie! (makes small comments between and during each show/movie). Wow what a movie ! (repeatedly claps hands). Oh look at that (looks at watch) 1:30, right on time for lunch. Hmm turkey sub looks good to me (eats turkey sub). D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S delicious. Alright, now lets see what's next to do (reads schedule) take a nap. Oh yes, just what I…

    “Side out, side out!” “You got this!” The crowd’s roaring chant sounded like a broken record on full blast. All of a sudden, my ears deafen, my heart racing, my hands moist and my throat dry. Perspiration slowly trails down my face as I glance at the scoreboard. The score reads 17-18. My team, SF Tremors 13-1 has been going back and forth with Texas team Magic for more than an hour. Both teams won one set, and now Magic is in the lead by one point. This is such a long and exhausting game! I think frantically, talking to myself, focus Ella, focus. I try locking my tired eyes on the tall, chubby server but the towering middle blocker with wingspan of an eagle and outside blocker enhanced biceps were partially blocking my view. The girl serves a powerful topspin jump-serve towards Karlee, but the short, lightning quick defensive specialist dives forward to pass the ball. It was a perfect pass, going directly to the petite hands of our skilled setter, Erica. She sets me on zone 4.…
