Pass
Set
spike
Hit it cross
or line
the defense doesn’t know
which way it'll go
It could be a
Five
Six
Four or even
Eight.
Sliding right
they hit a dog
Some are ball hogs.
Digging the ball
with no block is hell
But it has some sort of
thrill as well
We have go’s
Dog’s
Hut's and more
One
Two
Seven galore
Red
White and
Gold
Can be hit too
only if your shoe
doesn’t pass the white tape,
Jumping so high
you should have a cape
Middles block out and right
While outsides and right sides
stay in tight.
In a cluster in the middle
we call out
The setters and hitters
Ready
Up
Blocks go high
the passers look to the sky,
Praying for a good block
not a tip.
Those hurt the hip.
Bruises as big as whiffle balls
We still stand tall
Floor burns and ponytails
We go back and hope our short serve
isn’t a fail
Getting points makes the bench
not tame
It’s a 30 second fame
Reading the time right on the hits,
Hoping we can hit between the slits.
Setter dumps,
Trips everyone up
Libero's sprint to get it back up
And everybody says it’s easy.
