Volleyball is a sport that consists of hitting, passing and teamwork, but to the freshmen team, chemistry is much more important to than other factors. For some, volleyball is a new sport before entering high school, but for others, it is different.

“I [have played volleyball] but it was just in PE. It’s different from the other sports I [have] played, because it involves a lot of communication, footwork, chemistry and timing,” freshman defensive specialist Julie Han said.

Through experience, “They’ve adapted to each other by becoming a team. Sure, the girls [goes] to school together, but team chemistry is much different from a friendship. It is similar to being a family and always helping someone who is [falling behind] to get back up,” said freshman coach Ashley Arase said.

The freshman girls’ volleyball preseason record is 0-3 after a defeat against Arroyo, but the team moves on as it is a lesson to be learned. They believe practicing on their passes and improving in communication skills are essentials to “get the game going.”

Preseason is still early, but Arase is giving the team full attention and working diligently to make sure that, by the time league starts, the team will be prepared.
