Fllthough many may think proc- tice isjust a waste of time, the really dedicated athletes know differently During practice the coach has the opportunity to see what skills the team had perfected and what skills the team members need extra work Hs different sports need differ ent skills practice time may be spent attacking the different skills needed For the ninth grade volleyball team several of the skills were spe ciolized in setting, spiking, bumping and passing areas. The eighth grade went from station to station perform- ing several different drills. For both the ninth and eighth grade teams scrimmages became an important part of the practice schedule l.Uhen asked why scrimmages were so im portant Coach Popejoy responded They help prepare the girls for the real thing Practice is not only a time for physical improvement but also for mental improvement Team members working together can be as impor .aff 555122855 aBae tant as their skills. Both coaches agreed that the teams were equally talented in physical and mental ability and improvement. The eighth and ninth grade vol leyboll teams proved the old state ment to be true Practice pays off Hmy Coffman and LUendy Havens Jenny Fllppe lmpro ves her sklll of setting the ball during practice Hrlstlne Nltzsche gets set to spike the ball dur Ing an lntersquad practice Eighth Practice 59 Coach Voung prepares the net for practice .
