Volleyball

Have you ever dreamt to understand the rules of the most incredible and wonderful sport of the world? 

Have you ever watched a thousand videos to understand the rules of this amazing sport? 

Well with this article we want to explain its rules. Stop with useless videos!!!!

Volleyball is a wonderful sport whose aim is to hit the ball with your hands to send it in the other half of the court without letting it fall. 

In order to play there is only the need for a ball, a net and a court. 

The moves to hit the ball are: 

- the bump: it consists in joining the hands and the arms to make the ball bounce.

- the juggling: it consists in joining one thumb to the other and hold the hands open. The juggling must be performed above the forehead. 

- the smash: it is the most accidental gesture, it needs a run-up, to jump and catch the ball with an open hand. 

- the block: it consists in jumping and putting the hands to the other part of the volleyball field without touching the net and fond to stop the ball. 

- the stroke: it must be accomplished like the smash, but at nine meters and with a hard hand like a closed shovel. 








the bump

the jugging 

the smash

The monster block 

the stroke 



There are 6 roles in the volleyball game: 

- 2 sides who have the assignment to receive, defend and smash

- 1 opposite who has the same role of the 2 sides but he or she attacks from another position. 

- 2 centers who have the assignment to attack and block. (she or he alternates the entry and exit with the libero) 

- 1 free who substitutes the center and receives and defends. 


The volleyball field is 18 meters long and 9 meters wide. 


There are 3 essential lines and a fourth one is abstract: 

- the first line on the short side is 9 meters long, where the player serves.

- the second is that of the 3 meters where the smash is done

- the last one divides the two volleyball courts

The abstract one is in a middle position of 6 meters between the 3 and the 9 meters lines



The match is divided into 3 sets of 25 points and is to the best of 5, in the sense that: 

- if one set is won 3-0 the match is finished 

- if one is 2-1 the fourth set is needed 

- if one is 2-2 the fourth set is needed


Every set needs to be finished with an advantage of at least 2 points, therefore if the score is equal to 24 it needs to arrive at 26 and so on.


In my view volleyball is an incredible sport, with lots of twists and turns. 

It is a game where you have to keep your concentration high and your head up, you can’t deconcentrate  if you want to win.  In volleyball I love the competition, the desire to catch all the balls. It taught  me that nothing is impossible and that you always have to try. You can't drop a ball without trying. 


In this article we want to give an update on the Urgnano volleyball team: Iride Urgnano,  which will play against Volley 2C next week. It will be an exciting match in which the teams will clash with tenacity and will to win. 


And now… A little interview.

We did an interview through Google form to some girls from the class 3EM. From the results of the interview we understood that the advantage of this incredible sport is sharing the victories and the defeats with the volleyball friends and wanting to win and have fun. 


To the next appointment with you next week.... 

I hope everything was clear!

And now  spike iii…

FOOTBALL

Today I thought to write about the Under 15 team of the Oratorio Urgnanese Calcio in which I also play, but before talking about the team let’s briefly understand the sport of football. Football is a team sport played on a field of circa 105 meters of length and 68 of width; the players in field are 11 per team, 7 stay on the sidelines benched near the coach. On the field there is a referee who makes the FIFA rules be respected, that were created in 1904; on the field near the border line there are two sideline referees who help the referee to take the decisions. But the important part of this sport is always having fun as I like doing. Specifically today I want to write about the last game played valid for the fifteenth day of the championship that ended in a 4-2 defeat by the Palosco team. The game, during the first half, was in favor of the home team, which, however, just before the halftime allowed the other team a goal that lowered the mood of the entire team, in fact right at the

Basketball

Basketball is a highly athletic, fast and dynamic team sport in which each action is different and with a different goal. The sport also allows each athlete to show his or her skills in a group or team, consequently allowing the inclusion of every member. The goal of the game is to throw the ball in the adversary basket. The basket is a net hanging from a ring through which players try to throw the ball in order to score points. To win the match a team must score more points than its opponents in the regular game time . The match is composed by four times of 10 minutes each. If the scores are equal at the end of the match, an extra quarter is played until a winner is found. Athletes practice this sport in a gym, so it is considered indoor. The sport has been part of the Olympics since 1936, as they began practicing it worldwide. The inventor of the sport was a Canadian physical education teacher James Naismith in the USA in Springfield in 1891.          To know more about this sport

At every lesson the big moment arrives and our dancers get ready for a big event: the recital! A word which represents for them a special and unique occasion. In this article I will write about dance: it’s a group sport that is practiced at every age. Dance is divided into various categories such as modern dancing, artistic dancing… but I want to speak about classic dancing and modern dancing, because I think it's elegant. In every lesson the dancers prepare a choreography (union of dance moves), all the choreographies are united and they make a recital, parents are invited. The dance lessons are organized in this way: warm-up Reviewing the exercises from the previous lesson Preparing the choreography  Every lesson is guided by a teacher. A SPECIAL LESSON Friday the 16th of february 2024 I decided to go and see a modern dance training of some children from the primary school. The training was special because during the first half an hour childrens tried the choreography that they w
