Our First ever combined Floodlit Soccer & Beach Ball Volleyball Tournaments to celebrate the end of the exams and term 1, was a huge success. Here are two accounts from participants to the Beach Ball Volleyball 'action-packed' games.
It was Friday, 27 November 2015 and we had a Beach Ball Volley Ball tournament for all the girls at boarding. It was a really fun and a great experience. We were divided into groups of three and had to play against each other. Our team was the "TIGERS", which had Kesa, Laveesha and Simran (me). This was the first time we ever had a beach ball game experience in boarding and it went really well. Most of us were very enthusiastic and excited. We did not have much of a plan, and kept hitting the ball as hard as we could, which was a lot of fun. We kept laughing as we 'whacked the ball' and it kept going back and forth at high speed. In my opinion, this beach ball volley ball tournament has strengthened our bond between most of us as it included team spirit and many more. It was the first time we had a tournament only for girls, and that was cool. I feel that some of us are closer now after this tournament. It also helped to get to know others even more than before. It was really funny the whole time watching all of our friends play. We all had the fear of losing but the best part was that we overcame that fear as a team. One of the funniest part of the event was when Pranitha and Yun kept missing the ball and were still laughing away. In the end the tigers won, which is my team. We got the privilege of holding a big trophy. Thanks to Mr. Regis for handling the scores and Ms. Brown in helping to organize this event we had a great time. We all sure had a good and enjoyable experience during this tournament. By Simran Samtani, IB1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 27th November at around 4:30 pm, the Boarding Girls' Beach Ball Volleyball Tournament started… This tournament took place right after our first term exams... right after the exams! We weren't even given time to rest… As soon as we got back to the boarding, Ms.Browne called us out to the field for the tournament. I thought, "For real? I need to take a nap first!" However, I had no choice, so off to the Badminton Court, I went. We were divided into the usual boarding teams: Bulls, Lions, Tigers, Foxes, Tuskers and Rhinos. I was in the Bulls team; my friends were in different teams. We played a total of 4 matches! The most embarrassing part was that my team lost every single game. My teammates tried hard but the ball just seemed to hate us. Despite our loss we all enjoyed the event. We actually had so much fun losing because my team made the winning teams enjoy their victories as what we all wanted most was to have fun and we kept laughing during every match. We screamed a lot too, every time we lost a point after a long rally. The ball never seemed to a gree with our plans… or shots! I got so engrossed that I even forgot I originally wanted to take a nap. In between we had our delicious dinner. The tournament got over at around 9:30 pm at night and the winners were awarded with trophies and along with the trophies they received a bag full of goodies each. Overall it was an amazing experience. By Swecha Rijal, IB1
