The gymnasium was filled with the soccer and volleyball teams, on Saturday, September 9th, to end the debate of whether the soccer team could win against the volleyball team in volleyball.
The question of whether the soccer team could beat the volleyball team in volleyball suddenly became a heated debated on Thursday, September 7, 2017. Members of the soccer team, as passionate and prideful as always, decided that volleyball was an easy sport for them to conquer. After all, with their strong physical endurance and indefatigable zeal, don’t they have an advantage over the volleyball team? It was therefore decided that on Saturday there would be a volleyball match that would end all questions and doubts about the skills of the volleyball team.
A heat surge suddenly filled the gymnasium as the two teams entered the gym with the fire of eagerness in their eyes. Because of their lack of knowledge and skills, the soccer team was taught for twenty minutes about the rules and forms of receiving, setting, and spiking the ball. They were also informed that a match consists of three sets and whichever team scores up to twenty-five points first wins that particular set. To win the whole match, any team needs to win two sets.
During the soccer team’s practice, the volleyball team commenced their dynamic warm-ups while vowing to never lose a single set. Knowing that they would and should win the match, the volleyball team members decided to practice their so-called “bump, set, and spike” method for future, more challenging tournaments.
The sound of the whistle signaled all the players on both teams, both starters and bench-warmers, to line up on the opposite side of the court and walk up to the volleyball net for a “good-luck” handshake ceremony. Then, the first six starters stood at their designated positions while waiting for the whistle.
As the whistle blew, signaling the start of the game, a player from the soccer team “served” or hit the ball over the net to the opposite court. With poised relaxation, the volleyball team managed to bump, set, and spike the ball back to the soccer team. Although, with great effort, the soccer team failed to receive the ball.
This powerful domination from the volleyball team went on for the whole match, letting them win all three sets. Realizing that they are no match for the volleyball team in volleyball team’s own sport, the soccer team ended the whole debate with compliments for the volleyball team. “For a bunch of football boys, we put up a good show. I really enjoyed taking part in that casual match,” said David Chinn (12) as both teams gathered after the game.
