Earlier this year I guess you could say I went through a bit of a volleyball craze. The volleyball season is only 6 weeks long, but it's pretty full on. We had two big tournaments and a bunch of regional games, and I loved every bit of it!
I only started playing competitively last year, when the coach approached me in the hall after math class and said they could use me due to my height haha. They taught me how to block, run C's and middles and A-deads but I didn't actually get much playing time until this year after a summer of practice with Oak in our backyard.
Our team had a record season for NPBHS this year, where volleyball has traditionally never been that big. We came second in the Super 8 tournament with the other North Island boy's schools, and made it into Div 1 (top 16) at the national tournament. Because of this, 5 of our senior boys received volleyball tiger jackets :D
