Volleyball

   Volleyball started getting popular in 1913, when U.S. soldiers brought the game overseas during World War II, the sport spread through the rest of Europe like wildfire. Today the game “Volleyball” consists of six players: outside hitter, opposite, setter, middle blocker, libero, defensive specialist, and serving specialist. In most volleyball games everyone rotates one position clockwise every time their team wins.  

For most people, before you start a game you do a practice rally, the longest rally was 1 min, 50 sec,  in West Florida. Most people who play volleyball play these positions:  Setter or a Libero.  Most people who play these positions really enjoy playing these and might even make a career out of the positions they play.  

Some people who play volleyball professionally make about $19,910, to $187,200, with a median salary of $44,680. Many people enjoy playing volleyball as a career because they can play their favorite sport and also get paid for doing it. Most volleyball teams are at school or at volleyball gyms. Many people in Denver CO, go to Dive Volleyball RedLine Gym and some are even on the Mcauliffe team! The Mcauliffe team was very hard to get on so congrats to everyone who made it!

Volleyball is a very important sport to play and is also a fun way to interact with others and make new friends and competitive skills. Volleyball can be used as a career and also as a fun hobby, or sport to play in your free time. I hope people who are interested in volleyball pursue their desire to play or just have fun with it!
