Counting down the seconds in a crowded dark hallway, listening behind doors to the song Welcome to the Jungle blasting in the gymnasium mixed with the sounds of the crowds roaring. The only thoughts going through everyone's head, is that this might be the last time we ever play together again. As soon as the song gets to the que we run out of the hallway under a tunnel made of arms, running into the moment that can make it or break it.

I became of part of this subculture when I was in 3rd grade, but became a serious

“Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.”(Billie Jean King) Most students from first grade to twelfth grade say that sports are a big part of their life and make them who they were meant to be in a positive way. Some people might argue that students in sports or extracurricular activities have lower grades than the other students, but it's the opposite way around. Sports improve your performance in school because they strengthen your concentration ability and leadership traits.

Volleybrawl, a competitive Student Council fundraising event, is a popular competition where co-ed teams from the boys football and the girls volleyball face off in a friendly showdown. Four teams are formed from the 7th and 8th grades.These co-ed teams then play matches against each other in the popular sport of volleyball. Students enjoy watching and participating in this event, while at the same time raising money for future events and Student Council trips. This competition was held on December 2, 2016 Traditionally, we had the boys compete against the girls, however, every year the girls dominated. So, this year, to mix it up, we decided on co-ed teams consisting of both volleyball and football players on both sides. Students suggested

The ball whipped through the air, echoing through the gym like the snap from a leather whip. Lauren, our libero,had served. I glanced at the flashing scoreboard and winced at the score: 21-23. The other team had received the ball and were ready to set their outside hitter. Their hitter made a lightning fast approach and the ball spun through the air over to our side, aimed right at me.

Youth sports have many issues that affects kids like injuries, lack of interest in the sport and most importantly bad parenting. The problem in youth sports is that parents expect too much from their children at a young age causing them to stop doing sports at the age 13, more or less. Parents are making their children play year round sports that can lead into injuries. What I’ve researched so far, many articles and journals are meant for parents to make them improve their parenting on young athletes. I’ve read that many parenting styles regarding youth sports are repetitive. In other words, many parents are making the same mistakes like being too hard on their kid or enforcing training for many hours. From my research so far there are good and bad physical and mental outcomes of kids doing sports at an early age. Many of which are mainly good but all

ZOOM! Have you ever played Softball or Baseball? It takes a lot of practice. You have to practise (work hard and try) teamwork (work with your team) because you can’t play it by yourself. Your going to need a lot of equipment. You’re also going to need to join a team.

The first sport I was first introduced to was when I was seven years old, that sport was football. My family has always had a passion for football, every Sunday we would all sit down and watch all the games together. My mom’s favorite football team is the Patriots, and my dad is kind of a band wagoner. He used to like the Raiders but was too tired of loosing every week so he chose the Seahawks for this previous season. I fell in love with football the first game I saw, the big men crashing into each other and the running backs were the fastest runners I had ever seen. I just recently started to like hockey, I like the Ducks and go to a lot of their games with my boyfriend. I really like to watch contact sports, so sports like

Have you ever felt and noticed the difference when something is given to you versus having to truly work hard for it? Whether it is as simple as saving your own allowance for a year to buy a fishing rod you’ve always wanted or putting every ounce of effort and thought you have into making an “A” for a writing assignment in class. Would you appreciate the fishing rod the same over time if it was just given to you for no reason? Would you feel good about your writing assignment knowing you could have given more effort for that major grade? Believe it or not, over time these types of questions, feelings, and thoughts have led to the rise of Youth Competitive Sports across the United States and made it to where it is a 15 billion dollar industry

Most parents want their children to be the best they can be; youth sports allow this to happen. Youth sports teach kids important things that they wouldn't be taught in the classroom and most likely won't be taught at home. The teachings in sports are far greater than just how to catch or shoot a ball. Sports teach children how to become great human beings on and off the court or field. Youth sports teach children how to become skilled and passionate adults and how to overcome adversity. I believe that children should play sports all through their youth because it will help decrease childhood obesity, increase social skills, teach character skills, learn that not everyone is a winner, and keep the child out of trouble.

I have been playing volleyball for as long as I can remember. From playing in club volleyball tournaments in the spring to bumping the volleyball around in my living room, I spend most of time playing or practicing for a sport. Most people believe that the only reason kids play sports is because they have athletic skill. I believe that playing a sport is more than just becoming the best player physically, but becoming the best player that your team needs you to be.

The popularity of Volleyball has increased dramatically over past years. This is a result of commodification. Commodification is the process of turning something into a commodity that can be bought and sold. Over the past 20 years, Volleyball has evolved from a simple, fun and recreational sport to a more appealing, more sexualized version, beach volleyball. As a result of this evolution, beach volleyball has received a vast improvement in popularity, especially amongst a male audience. The intent of this essay is to examine the sport of beach volleyball and explain why the individuals, and the sport itself, have evolved throughout the years. Volleyball’s transformation into beach volleyball is a positive step forward for the sport in
