Volleyball sets up for the upcoming season <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As LVC\u2019s sophomores and juniors return to campus, student-athletes are finally able to start up their seasons.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the pandemic, fall and winter sports were moved to the spring semester. Meanwhile, teams are allowed to practice, provided they take proper precautions of course. Kaitlyn Reed, a senior political science major, played for LVC\u2019s women\u2019s volleyball team all four years of her collegiate career. She has played a variety of different positions throughout her years here, but she primarily plays as the team\u2019s libero or defensive specialist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the women\u2019s volleyball team returns to the court, the players are noticing a few differences from last year\u2019s season. The most common precaution almost all are taking is wearing a mask. While wearing a mask throughout the day and during classes was an adjustment, athletes are also required to wear them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel rather indifferent about wearing mask as I understand it\u2019s for the best that we wear them, but it is an adjustment to have to wear them during difficult drills that require a lot of movement and energy,\u201d Reed said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only are the practices different because of the mask requirement, but there are also rules in place to ensure social distancing is still being practiced to the best of their ability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPractices are\u202fdefinitely a\u202flot different this year,\u201d Reed said. \u201cWe are not allowed to play 6 on 6 yet, so we are primarily doing drills. It is a lot slower paced than previous years, but it should be a good transitional period then for the freshmen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sport that would typically be held in the fall, the volleyball team members are adjusting to the changes in their schedules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u202fdefinitely wish\u202fmy season was in the fall as a senior, but I am grateful we will be able to compete this year in the spring so I will get to have my last season,\u201d Reed said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While student-athletes are adjusting to different schedules, wearing masks and changes in practices, there is a silver lining\u2013they still have hope for a normal season. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
