this week my school had volleyball tryouts monday, tuesday and thursday. i couldnt try out on monday since i didnt have all my physical exams done but by tuesday i could. i wouldnt say it was hard but not the easiest either. there were a lot of 8th graders trying out and i knew some of my 7th grade friends were really good. the majority trying out were 6th graders. i guess they were excited since this was the first year they could try out for a sport. i kept hearing them say that they sucked and they’ll get cut. which i think was annoying, if you’re that bad why try out? my friends and i get there earlier that way we can practice without anyone around to annoy us, and i brought my own volleyball. but on thursday about 10 6th graders were waiting by the gym door. i heard one of them say that they might get in trouble for going in early. my friends and i asked them to move out the way of the door and we walked in. a 6th grader tried to stop us saying that we would get in trouble. the thing is, we already did this the first 2 days of try outs so we just ignored them. the 6th graders realized it was okay and came in, dropping off their stuff. keep in mind that we haven’t set up the net yet. the net was usually set up by 8th graders and coach, since they were bigger and taller. these 6th graders, they took out the pole that was 4x bigger than them and attempt to set up the set up the net, the thing was this net was supposed to be set up really high and these 6th graders are just about an inch shorter than me. we told them they couldnt and they got all whiny and put the stuff away, this all happened while coach and the 8th graders still werent here. I grabbed out my volleyball and started a 3 on 3 with my friends. it was pretty fun for about 3 minutes until my friend passed the ball too far and high up, and one of the 6th graders caught it. not only did she catch MY volleyball. she kept it, she passed it to her friends and they were having they’re little passing circle. my friends were really annoyed so my friend, Kayla walked over to them and asked for the ball back. the reason why the 6th graders took my ball was they assumed we took it from the equipment closet for ourselves, but the equipment closet is locked so they couldnt grab one. Kayla then asked for my ball back but the 6th graders claimed that they didnt take it, just caught it and used it, same thing. I walked over and explained that it was my ball that i brought from home and they immediately gave it back. i was pretty annoyed and when we started the 3 on 3 again, the 6th graders asked if they could join, i declined. Kayla told them that the 3 on 3 with us would be able to make us dependable on nobody else other than ourselves. they got all whiny once more and walked to closet, attempting to open it to grab a volleyball of their own. the 8th graders started coming in and i saw one of my 8th grade friends so i talked to them a bit. my friend Amara in 8th grade asked what the 6th graders were doing and i explained everything from when they tried to set up the net. Amara walked over with the keys and opened up the closet, telling the 6th graders that if they wanted to practice beforehand, they would have to bring their own ball like i did. the 8th graders set up the net, with no help from the 6th graders.

There were about 30-40 girls trying out and only 2 different teams you can make. But coach made it so that nobody would get cut.

A team(Competitive)-they play more games plus they go to state champ. and mostly make up of 8th graders and some 7th graders and only 13 girls allowed

B team(Intramural)-they play less games and mostly make up of 7th graders and some 6th graders. since there were so many girls they split up B team in 2 teams, Blue and Red. 24 girls on B team

Practice team-they dont play games, they just help A and B team practice and make up of mostly 6th graders and a few 7th graders. Everyone else gets on practice team if they didnt make A or B.

I did not expect to make A team but I still hoped for it. I did not at all expect for me to get practice. I didnt. I got B team, which side? I dont know but as long as i didnt make practice team.

i dont like the girls in the grade below us.
