Upcoming club season

One season is over, another begins. Everyone has just got over with their high school season. Some are sad, but some are ready for a change. For me, club is something I look forward to and it is a nice change from high school season, even though high school season was fun.   After everyone finished their high school season, they go to a tryout or tryouts. Tryouts are exciting because you get to play with some different players and it is a little preview of club before it starts! That is the same with camps; they are a good way of getting players excited for the season and maybe even to play for that club.
It is even more exciting to get that call or text from a coach saying that you have a spot and they want you on the team! Although this is very exciting, this can be one of the hardest decisions if you get multiple offers and you have to make a choice. This is sometimes stressful because this choice can affect your improvement that season depending on how much good coaching and playing experience you get on a certain team. Once you have decided and committed though, it is a great feeling, and you are very anxious to start your season with new, or old, teammates.
Once you get your team together and start practice, you really get to know your teammates and they become really good friends. The team bonding is one of the most fun parts about being a team and one thing that I have done almost every year of club volleyball is team sleepovers. It is a great way to get to know your teammates and become friends with them, and they are always really fun!
At the beginning of the season, you start off with smaller tournaments that are closer, or leagues, like the league that our club hosts for three weekends in January. These are tournaments to help kick start a season and figure out what line ups and systems work the best for your team before you go to the big tournaments and qualifiers later on. They also give the players a little taste of what's to come: the three day qualifiers. This is what a lot of players, including me, look forward to, and at the beginning of the season, we all just can't wait for them! Personally, I am super excited for this club season and I already really like my team!
