Angie's Story

My passion is Volleyball.

In Sophomore year of high school, my friends and I decided to try out for Volleyball. Because it was my first year, I was put into the JV team and I realized how fun it was to participate throughout the games. As I kept improving, I was put into the Varsity team that same year, but I did not play as much as I expected. During junior year, I tried out again and was put into the Varsity Team. I worked on my setting, bumping, and serving skills, allowing me to start in every game. I realized my improvement through these two years and I want to become even better.

One of our seniors attended the US Sports Nike Volleyball Camp and we noticed her improvement from the year before. The camp will also help me pursue my passion and allow me to improve on my skills!

A Note from Mr. Heath, Angie's Teacher

Angie would not just be a good candidate for the Nike Volleyball Camp, she would be great candidate. Her mature attitude and dedicated work ethic means that she would be a great addition to any program, and because she is so passionate about Volleyball all of these outstanding attributes are heightened when she is on the court. She would also benefit from attending a program like this as she would be able to learn from the more experienced players around her. Given that our program at North Star is just 4 years old many of our players are relatively inexperienced. And from having students speak so highly when they attended this camp last year I am sure the benefits that Angie will experience will be just as good.

After Nike Program

Thank you to all my donors for allowing me to have this opportunity of doing something that could not have been accomplished without your help. I had a lot of fun in those three days in my Volleyball Camp given that I was doing something that I enjoyed for three days. Although I came back very sore from all the drills that our coaches made us do, I would not change anything about the program because it was a lot of fun and I was able to connect with many new people.

Pre-Attendance Update

This summer, I will be joining Rutgers New Brunswick in the Nike Volleyball Summer Camp they will be hosting. I am thrilled to be apart of this camp because I learned to love volleyball throughout my high school years. Because volleyball does not last the entire year, it is hard for me to balance my schoolwork and time to play volleyball. Therefore, any chance I get to play volleyball outside of school or during my PE class, I make sure that I practice as though I am playing a real game in order to improve my skills.
In addition, I am looking forward to meeting new girls with similar interest as me. I am a very reserved person, but my intention during this camp is to be able to communicate with people I don't know given that communication is a significant attribute in volleyball. I chose this program because I knew that I will be able to enhance my skills in volleyball as well as my communication skills. Volleyball has become an important aspect to my high school life in which I want to continue in college as well.
