Our mini-volleyball team came back from the Semi-final Tournament with heads held high and a precious store of experience. In a competition where emotions run as high as the desire to win, our young players showed that the club’s future may be in good hands.
Fighting, learning and a morale-boosting win
The tournament was intense, a real “school of volleyball” for our girls. The final record – one win and two defeats – doesn’t tell the whole story, though. The win was a moment of pure joy, in which the girls showed that the work in practice is paying off and that they can handle tense moments on the scoreboard. 😊🙌
The last games pitted us against high-calibre opponents, with the tournament ending in a tough match against the hosts, Volei Alba Blaj. Playing in a hall in a town with such tradition, in front of a passionate crowd, is a test of sporting maturity the girls passed with flying colours, whatever the final score.
From emotion to progress 🇷🇴
If at the start of the season the girls took the court with a beginner’s shyness, in Blaj we saw a team that has started to “read” the game, to communicate and, most importantly, not to be discouraged by hard moments.
In mini-volleyball, the score is secondary. The real gain is the courage to stand at the net and learn from every mistake.
We suffered two defeats, but they are really lessons learned. We saw where we still need to work, how to manage our emotions and how to support our teammates when the ball seems heavier than usual.
The future sounds good 🏐
Our little champions have shown they have the volleyball bug in their blood. This participation in the semi-final tournament is only the beginning. We come home with a win that gives us confidence and two lessons from Blaj that will make us stronger next season.
