The SAISA Volleyball tournament this year
kicked off with a huge opening ceremony, since both the boys' and the girls'
tournaments were held at our school because of political problems preventing
them being held where they were supposed to be originally. This was new and exciting
because we were able to personally watch and support the matches of our team’s
counterpart, as well as having a slight home court advantage over the other
schools.

A huge benefit of the joint tournament was
that all the teams had some sort of support and cheering system during matches.

We started off with high hopes and expectations that were carried over from our undefeated win in last year’s tournament. Although we fought and played hard in our matches and practices, honing our individual and teamwork skills as much as possible, we unfortunately came in 6th place of an overall 8 girls’ teams.

This year was my last year playing my favourite sport in high school, and although I am sad that we did not get a higher place in the tournament, I am extremely happy to have been able to play and have fun with my team, and get coached by some of the best coaches I have ever had for any sport.
