Today our VA team played against some of the teachers and staff of the school in the assembly, with the whole school watching. It was very fun! We played in our gym, which isn't that big, so all the students who weren't on a team were sitting on the edges of the gym watching us. It was big enough that they could sit and there was still at least a foot or two between a student and the edge of the court.
Our coach wasn't there at the beginning, so we set ourselves up in positions and decided on how we were going to switch out. I started off playing and was in the right front like I often start. We took a while to get into it, so we were pretty even and then the staff got a little ahead. But then we got into it, and we pulled ahead and won by a lot. The first time I served, at the very beginning the serve was out, but then I served multiple more times, and then I had all really good serves! Also, in the first game I had a couple hits, and one of them was really good! It went down and the technique looked good, I felt good about it and was happy I did well and everyone could see it! I had some good passes, too.
We played two games to 25 points, just like we would against another school! We won both of the games, the second one by even more than the first! It was really fun, and it was good for us to have practice! We switched out every 10 points or so, and just had everyone waiting on the side to come in switch out with someone on the court, I didn't always have to switch out because there were only 4 or 5 people who needed to switch in. I got to play a lot, it was fun! Some other teams were playing outside at the same time as our games, but all the other students were watching us. We got to play a whole match, two whole games to 25 with a real referee! The only other team that got to play the staff was the JVA team, and they only got to play part of a game, with someone else as a referee, because the other one had to leave.
Overall, it was very fun!
