Today I am going to talking about volleyball. As you know I am a member of our BLCU school volleyball team. I have learned lots of things and made lots of friends through this sport. So I want to share something about volleyball with you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, let’s make a view of the volleyball court. Now you can see:
This is the court and it is really simple… side lines, base lines, center lines and volleyball net. That’s it.
Side line is 18m.
Base line and center line is 9m.
Volleyball net is 2.24m height for women and 2.43m for men.
By the way, there are 3 meters between center line and volleyball net, so we also call center line as 3-meter-line.

Guess what is my position in our volleyball team? In fact, I am the right attacker and I will tell you my responsibility in this game later.
Everybody may know that the volleyball game needs 2 teams, and there are 6 teammates for each team.
We got one setter, one right attacker, two ace spikers and two blockers.
When your opponents serve the ball to our
sides, our teammates should take a pass the ball to our setter. This is called first passed. And then, our lovely setter would set the ball to the spikers, blockers or right attacker. Next, they would spike the ball into opponents’ field and get the point.
Generally, setter is the leader, the brain
of the team. He should make a good choice to find out which is the best way to
get the point.
Especially, what is the responsibility of right attacker? Sometimes, if you meet a strong team in the game, they would like to serve or hit the ball to our setter in order to break our second passed. It is because nobody can continue to touch the ball twice. So when setter takes the first pass or the ball is too far to be reached by the setter, right attacker should become the temporary setter.

The center line separates the forward and backward players.
The backward players have to take off behind the center line. If you don’t, you will lose your point.
Lower your center of gravity.
Hold your hands.
