A few weeks ago I was selected to be in the Oceanic Volleyball team (all the dodgy schools on the Gold Coast), from their we all trialled for the South Coast (All of the Gold Coats) team. For these trials we went to Runaway Bay were they have a huge Volleyball stadium with 4 courts across, we arrives a few minutes late and were just in time to here the days instructions. We split up into our group of under 15's.
This was weird, we were standing their with some 14 year old 6 foot 5 kids. they were massive! I am 6 foot 1 and I felt like a midget!
So we started playing in our Oceanic Teams and it was scary, they were so tall that they could spike the ball straight into the ground of our side of the net. But after 4 hours of playing the coach people began to realize that behind the 3 and a half meters of muscle, they suck! They couldn't serve and they can't keep the ball up.
At 2:30 came the moment we were all waiting for.........selection time. They told us that they would be taking a squad of 11 to Cairns for 5 days. They called through the team roll and through some kind of bizarre mishap, I was in. So they measured us up and told us that they would start training next week in Pacific Pines (a 1 hour drive) Noooooooooooo! But i'll do it anyway.
yay
