Volleyball

Volleyball

Volleyball is one of the world's most popular sports and is played by more than 800 million people on the planet at least once a week. 

The game of volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, a teacher at a YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts. He combined parts of tennis, baseball, basketball and handball to create a new game to be played indoors by people who wanted less physical contact than basketball. Morgan borrowed the net from tennis and raised it six feet and six inches above the floor, a little higher than an average man's head.

The Volleyball Club was started to provide an opportunity for girls to compete in sports. Over the last couple of years, the Primary 4 to Six students have been hard at work honing their volleyball skills in digging, passing, spiking and serving. The new intake of Primary 3 students this year are also picking up the basic skills to prepare themselves for future competitions. 

To build on their playing experience, our Primary 4 students took part in the Soft Volleyball Carnival. This year, our Primary 6 students took part in the National School Games (NSG) Volleyball Senior Division and gained a wealth of experience. Through it, they learnt the importance of resilience, teamwork and discipline.

Membership is open to Primary 3 to 6 students who are interested to pick up basic volleyball skills. Recruitment is open at the end of the year to those who wish to join the CCA. 

For more information, interested students are to look for Mdm Wang Guohong, the overall teacher-in-charge of Volleyball.
