“This year I moved to Minnesota to live with my dad and stepmom and volleyball has been an important part of me meeting new friends and feeling comfortable in my new school. This year I played volleyball on two teams, where I was able to learn and grow in my skills, while connecting with new friends in a new state. Volleyball helps me to build confidence on and off the court ”
