Why play volleyball? by Elena on 24/03 1 comment

There are so many reasons to play volleyball! I have been coming to Greenbank to
play volleyball since I was 12, and it's changed my life. Volleyball is a fast-moving
and strenuous team sport that improves your physical fitness and muscle
strength, reduces stress, and improves your sense of balance. Plus, it's a lot of fun!
To play volleyball well, you need good teamwork, and I've made some really good
friends here. Since the team has been competing against other clubs, we've won
the local competition three times.
