Bump, set, spike! Check out this Chinese-twist on volleyball that's a hit in the US
Photo Credit: Ursula Liang
On a recent
weekend in New York City, a ball rocketed across an asphalt court. It
was then volleyed, set up and a player leapt to slam it over the net. A
wall of six airborne players blocked the ball and shot it back across
the net.One point for the serving side. One point for the serving side.
It
was my first time seeing a game of nine-man. It's like volleyball, but
teams have nine players per side. Volleyball typically has six. That
means more hands at the net, longer volleys, and a really intense game.
It was also the perfect weekend to check out the sport. A tournament
was on, ahead of a national championship that will happen over Labor
Day weekend.

empowering youth, studying culture through the arts, and redefining
community.
