Team Sport

There are many benefits gained from participating in team sports. Team participation

can build self-esteem, promote social interaction and help one gain a sense of

responsibility. Being involved in a team sport can also help you to attain personal fitness

goals and maintain wellness. The time spent practicing with a team, will improve your

skills and give you countless hours of enjoyment. Participating in a team sport can

increase one’s self esteem. By being part of a team, you will give and receive praise.

Receiving recognition from a team mate or a coach will boost your self-esteem because

you have been acknowledged for your efforts. As you are praised for your efforts, you

will become more confident and improve yourself.

Participating in team sports influences a young person’s future by building his/her

awareness of team working and cooperation, responsibility and by helping him/her

make new friends. Getting sweaty, getting fit, relieving life pressure, and having fun-

these are the benefits that participating in team sports could bring. Yet, in addition to

these physiological benefits, team sports such as soccer, baseball and basketball, also

facilitate the mental development of the participators, especially young ones.

Volleyball

In my opinion, volleyball is the sport where solid teamwork is needed the most. It's a

sport where not one person can just dominate the entire time. Every spot on the court is

very critical. It's a 30 by 30 court, which makes you be in close contact with people

constantly. Part of what makes volleyball such an amazing sport is that it's very team-

oriented and teaches you how to work and succeed with other people. Volleyball is an

extremely emotional sport in that after making a mistake on the court, you will get

targeted directly after by your opponent. Volleyball truly teaches you how to shake off

the bad and come to terms with it, although it may not always be the easiest. But

doesn't require too much hard core running like basketball or soccer. That's reason

enough why it's worth doing. It's quite a nail-biting sport. However, that's what makes it

fun. There are some amazing plays that get made under a lot of pressure. These

pressure situations makes you course with adrenaline from excitement.

Volleyball gives you awesome friends and teaches you to work hard. You learn how to

work together with your teammates and also be accountable for yourself to be at

practices. You get to have really tall and really short friends. Regardless of height, there

is a spot for everyone on the volleyball court.
