Summer Coaching

During the summer, I went to volleyball training outside of school. I go to a coach called Rangika who used to coach the women’s youth national team. As I went to training, looking forward to playing again after a long break due to my tennis elbow, she told me that we were having a visitor…

New Beginnings with Drums
