About This Book

The sharp thwack of the volleyball echoes through the sunny gym as hands reach high to block and spike. You can almost feel the smooth ball spinning between fingers and smell the fresh sweat of a team working hard together. Every hit brings a new chance to learn, play, and grow closer as teammates.
