Volleyballmatch at the beach

On Thursday a small volleyballmatch for the students of the language school Costa de Valencia took place at the beach of Valencia. As I’m new here, this was a good opportunity to get to know other students of the school.

The girls started of the match slowly, the boys, however, were full of energy and did their best from start on. Although all players fought for every single score to win the game, the top priority that day was fun.

Thinking back at my sport lessons in school and all the things our teachers tried to teach us, they would have desperately left the game if they had seen our techniques and cheatings.

As I said before, this wasn’t about perfection and elegance, but to have a good time together and to practice Spanish.

As it got later the people at the beach went home and Valencia turned into a sea of lights. Even as it was already too dark to see the ball, the match went on. Finally a bath in the sea was an appreciated and well-deserved refreshment. Some of us went to a bar afterwards to have a drink and to enjoy each other’s company.
