The Seattle Prep Varsity Girls Volleyball team has been on a roll this season with only one loss. The team is tightly knit and full of support. When interviewing junior Caroline Reischling she said, “My favorite thing about the team is our team bonding activities and our support system. Everyone looks out for one another and we try to talk each other up not down.” The team stays close by never getting down on each other and always showing team spirit. Reischling said that “The team also does a special cheer before every game in the hallway called get downs. Everyone cheers each other on and they hype themselves up for the game. It is probably my favorite part of the pre-game. It is so fun and it always gets me ready to play.” “When playing games, the key is motivation, energy and team support, ” says junior Lauren O’Donnell. “I am also very excited for later in the season when Prep plays against Bishop Blanchet High School. I am excited because I have close friends on the opposing side which makes the game more fun and even more competitive. Having friends on the opposing team makes me want to work harder and to win even more,” says O’Donnell. The team also spends their time together by going to dinners before each game. “This allows us to bond and form relationships with each other off the court. I think that having these opportunities to create close knit relationships allows us to have great chemistry on the court,” says Reischling. The volleyball season is off to a great start this year with a strong team.
