1. Having sleepovers with your teammates in hotel rooms every tournament weekend
Always disruptive, never not.
2. Rolling into each match feeling fly as hell in your uniforms
*Formation by Beyonce plays in the background*
3. Relying on that one teammate to put your hair in the perfect braid on game days
You always played better when your braid was on point.
4. Practicing countless elaborate cheers and handshakes with your teammates
You had to have your handshakes down pat come game day.
5. FACIALS
SO satisfying.
6. Stuff-blocking the cockiest hitter on the opposing team
ROOOOOOOOOF!
7. FINALLY getting a successful pancake (and actually winning the point afterward)
You've never been more impressed with yourself
8. Tipping the ball to the same uncovered spot for the entire match
Thanks for the free points!
9. Stuffing your faces at team dinner together
There was absolutely no shame in carbo-loading.
10. Finishing a long volley with an amazing kill
No better way to end it.
11. Serving a perfect top-spin ball and watching it fall right in front of your opponent
Then hitting them with the floater on your next serve.
12. Getting a flawless dig on a ball you have to jack-knife for
You were never really sure how that happened, but you were glad it did.
13. Winning that game that you've been working towards all season long
There's no better feeling than getting the W you worked so hard for.
