Setters, hitters, middle blockers, and liberos all know the value of repetitions on the ball and the importance of footwork. It doesn’t matter if you are playing a large tournament in a loud convention center or with hot sand under your feet. Your love of the sport is on display even when peppering with your partner or solo at the wall. Volleyballers know it takes camaraderie and a cheering team to set up game-winning moments. A great float or jump serve, that impossible dig, a stuffed block, and the perfectly placed kill. Victory is a team effort. When we protect our volleyball players, we keep this sport safe and healthy for all.
