Recount Writing Volleyball

This is a recount writing for a test. We had to write a time with our friends. I wrote about a time when I went to a Volleyball Tournament with my classmates and friends. Here is my story.

One day my class had a Volleyball tournament, at Selwyn College. We had two teams. One team was black and another was red. I was on the red team, so we had versed different schools. My friend Moala was on my team as well so I was excited. We didn’t know who we were versing on our first game. My teacher just said that “we are going to play at 10:30”.


First we all had to go to school early and change into our uniform. We had to wait for one more person to come because it wasn’t enough. Then my teacher Ms Nees Kairua separated us into different groups to go into the cars. One group went with my teacher, another group went in a taxi van.


As soon as we arrived there we did some practices outside and stretched. I wondered if we could spike. The rules of the game was to not hit the ball over once and you couldn’t spike. You had to hit the ball to the other person, then the other person would pass the ball to the last person and they would hit it over. You couldn’t just hit it over.


The first game I was nervous, because I have never been in a Volleyball tournament before. When the game started I was focused on the ball because that’s what my mum taught me. I closely payed attention to the ball and when the ball was coming to me I was scared I thought the ball was going to hit my face. 


After I hit the ball I wasn’t nervous anymore I felt confident. Right after the game finished, then my mum came and gave me some food. We had some practices after we ate something. We were just practising the things we couldn’t do in Volleyball. We did a little practice then went inside for our other team to play. Later on we went to our game. The game that we played was a little bit easier this time because it was people that weren’t our size. Overall it was good.


Later that day we finished our games. Then one group went with my mum and I, another group went with one of my classmates parents, the last group went with Ms Nees Kairua. On the way back to school my mum went to McDonald’s to buy us a Frozen coke.


My opinion of the day was it was a good day a lot of other schools did well, the teams that we versed were good too. My favourite part was when I could eat. I would definitely do it again. After all of that I was exhausted and tired.
