Today we had a sub in PE class, so all we did was play volley-ball. We all took it some-what seriously for the first couple sets, but near the end we were all goofing around and just having fun.

i was 15 minutes late for gym class today. But when i got there we had to do 10 minutes of running, followed by baketball activities, and then actually playing basketball. So it was a fairly active gym class lol

Today, we played in zones, which took up the whole day. We won both sets against St. Laurent, but lost against Fisher Branch. In the end, we went to finals aginst Fisher Branch, but we lost. We were playing really good, and it was a close one. But unfortunalty we lost. We had fun, but this was our last year playing on the highschool team, and we all would have loved to finally beat Fisher Branch and take home the banner. Too bad, maybe next years senior team will be able too. We had a lot of good hits. For instance, I successfully blocked 2 spikes by the Fisher Branch team, and there were a lot of other good hits.

Today we had a game against Fisher Branch. They didn't show up until approximately 4:00-4:30. But in the mean time, we practised and prepared for the game. In the end, we lost. We didn't win a single set, like everytime we play against them, but each set it was a close one. I think that this is due to our new training. Too bad we only started training like that last week, and not before (in previouse years), becasue then we could have actually won. But I played every set, we tried our best, and we had fun :). So that's the good thing.

In this gym class, all we did was play volley-ball, and we had a lot of fun, and it wasn't very intense

Today, we did the same thing as yesterday., but with our whole team.

Today, olny 6 voley-ball practise, so we played 3 on 3. SO 3 of us had to cover the whole court, like what 6 people would do. So we had to move around fast and dive in order to get the ball. Everytime we failed to get the ball over on a over-hand serve, we had to run a lap. Everytime we failed to call the ball, we had to do 25 sit-ups, and everytime you didn't move for the ball (and just watched it), you had to run 5 laps. SO by the end of pratctise, we were all pretty tired. But I think that this was a good exercise, because you had to dive a lot to get the ball and really move around. The only thing that I didn't like was that we didn't really get that to practise our serves (you only got to serve when it was your turn, if you messed up it was a loss of serve and run a lap). I would have prefered if half of us went on one side, half on the other, and we souly worked on serves.

this practise was not taken seriously b/c our coach was not present, so i was annoyed about that as a result
