Wall of Noise

By: Welmoed de Lang

You walked into a wall of noise when you entered Hall 1 of the University Sports Centre Olympos on Friday. Just 36 volleyball players were responsible.

Athletes were rallying and cheering for each other after every point. Each team having their own way of celebrating each little victory. Some were clapping, some cheering and even teams screaming there own yell. Some even went as far as bowing for there team mate who just served an ace.
When a ball accidentally hit an athlete's head or any other part of a body, apologies were made and smiles were exchanged. But no time is further wasted. Fanatic play continues. All in perfect spirit.
