SOLC22: Volleyball

Running back to the court, I realize that we still have time to warm up. We warm up are arms, and as soon as I'm ready to go I hear it. "Captains!" The two of us jog to the edge of the net and here a short speech about how we should know the rules by now so they shouldn't have to be explained and what our names are. We do a quick round of rock paper scissors to see who gets first serve. Darn, not us. We are told that that's all and we wish the other girls good luck. They take five minutes to practice and we watch. These girls are good, but I think that we're better. They serve and we continue to watch them, keeping track of whose serves are the best. Next, we take our five minutes. They watch as we work on our passing and hitting. And they still watch as we serve. Soon, our five minutes are up. We get our line-up from our coach and then line ourselves up along the edge of the court. The whistle blows and we all walk forward, waving. We turn and wave to the other side. We high five the other team below the net and say good luck. Finally, we cheer and give each other high fives, ending with our final battle cry. "Denver, you know!" I run out onto the court and stand by the net. I hope this goes well. The winner of the tournament depends on this game.
