Why Should We Have Phoenix Volleyball in the Key Biscayne Community Center? By Emma Solano 

Volleyball has always been an important part of athletics in Key Biscayne.Since the residents of the village this program so much, why isn't it longer? I get that there is also a need for basketball practice and for the indoor gym to be available on a regular basis for the members. But that is where scheduling comes in.The community center can partner up with phoenix volleyball and set up specific times for volleyball,basketball,and the general gym use. For example, volleyball can be played on certain evenings or weekends, and basketball can be played at other times. So that way, everyone gets a chance to use the space without interfering with other activities. 

Why Volleyball? Firstly, Volleyball is awesome for building teamwork and communication skills. The sport is not only about physical fitness, but also about working together and supporting each other as a team. This sport can make younger girls interested in sportsmanship and creating a healthy lifestyle. Volleyball fosters a sense of community and teamwork. It is a sport that requires a lot of communication, effort, and dedication. 
By having a volleyball club, the community center would help to create an environment where young girls can build social connections and develop essential life skills .

The community center would benefit a lot from having a longer  volleyball Season .It would attract more people especially the younger crowd, and make the place more welcoming for young athletes. With more activities like volleyball, it would encourage a healthy lifestyle and create a stronger sense of community. Plus, it could make more people attracted to the community center and gain more memberships and participation in other programs.Phoenix volleyball would also benefit a lot from the program being longer. By having that space at the community center, they can host more practices and games, which means more opportunities for the players to improve their skills and shine. It would also help the Phoenix team attract more players and grow their team. Plus being part of a community center means they get more attention from the local community, so it would be a win for everyone involved. 

But How do Us young girls benefit from this? This was my first year at Phoenix volleyball and not only do I feel like I improved my skills a lot, but I also grew up as a person. This program has been such a game changer for us girls. Having it run all year long means we get consistent training and practice, which totally helps us improve our skills and stay in top shape.Plus,it gives us a solid routine and something to look forward to keeping us motivated and engaged. It would also be an awesome way to bond with new girls and make new friends. 
 
In conclusion, allowing volleyball to take place in the Key Biscayne Community Center would have numerous benefits, from promoting physical health to fostering and welcoming community spirit. By carefully finding the time for each activity, the community center can accommodate volleyball,basketball,and gym users, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to play what they like following the rules. Volleyball this year had a high demand, and a lot of moms have been encouraging for the reason to be longer. Volleyballs growing popularity among the girls in Key Biscayne is a strong indicator of the positive impacts this initiative would have on the community, thank you for your time, and us girls, team parents and coaches hope for you to consider for the season to be longer.
