Volleyball Excitement

                                                       By Gabrielle Oyler

                I looked up to the tip top of the tall volleyball net then looked down at the volleyball in my hand.  I felt the soft, leathery smoothness of the volleyball lying perfectly still in the palm of my hand. I felt the cool air conditioning gently pushing against my back. 

                “Can I do this?  I do not think I can do this.” I questioned myself in my thoughts.  I took a deep, cleansing breath and got ready to serve.  I bent my knees, steadied the ball in the palm of my left hand and put my left foot slightly in front of my right.

                I looked at the referee.  She put her hand out, blew her whistle, and signaled me to serve.  I took three slow, steady steps up to the bright blue line.  I swung my arm back and …

                “BAM!” I hit that ball as hard as I could.  I looked down and I saw my hand was empty.  I looked up just in time to see the ball go over the net and land on the other team’s court. 

                “I did it!  I did it!”  I served that ball perfectly.  I high-fived my teammates.  I looked up at the referee.  She had one finger up in the air toward our side of the court. 

                My heart was filled with happiness and excitement.  The butterflies in my stomach had gone away!

                Then, I served again and again and again and again.  I had scored our team five points!  Then the next server did the same and so did the next server and the next server after that…

                At the end of the game I looked at the scoreboard.  We had won our very first volleyball game! 

                That first serve made me an official volleyball player.  I realized that I was a really good volleyball player and that it was going to be a great season for me and my team, the Holy Spirit Spartans.
