The vigor and passion of sportsmanship were demonstrated to students at the Shenzhen Foreign Languages School (SFLS) Longhua high school campus through a special physical education class taught by China Volleyball League players Zhang Lei and Bian Yuqian from the Shanghai Guangming Ubest Team on March 22. The first session of the event included demonstrations of basic volleyball skills. Twenty students, who were divided into two groups led respectively by Zhang and Bian, learned passing and digging skills and were then quizzed on making round passes to their partners. A Q&A session on how to play professional volleyball and how the Shanghai Team envisage their current season facilitated a close dialogue between the players and students. Through getting in touch with star volleyball players from a professional team, students who were keen on playing the sport became more determined to carry on the culture and sportsmanship they observed in the team spirit of Chinese women’s volleyball. The event, which has been held for a second year and had Hui Ruoqi, former captain of the Chinese women volleyball team and the gold medalist of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, visit SFLS’s Yantian campus in its previous edition, aptly echoed the school’s proposition of promoting physical education as a major part of the curriculum for its students.
