Alright, buckle up, cause I’m about to walk you through my experience with those UAAP volleyball games. It was a rollercoaster, lemme tell ya.
First off, I got roped into this thing because my cousin is like, obsessed with volleyball. She begged me to go with her, promising an “amazing experience.” I figured, why not? Needed to get out of the house anyway.
So, I started by figuring out the schedule. The UAAP website is a bit of a mess, gotta say. Spent a good hour just trying to find the game times and locations. Eventually, I pieced it together. Marked everything on my calendar. This was step one, mission: organized.
Next up, tickets. This was a whole other level of chaos. Tried buying online, but the website kept crashing. Gave up and decided to try my luck at the venue. BIG mistake. The lines were insane. Like, wrap-around-the-building insane. I waited for almost two hours just to get a ticket. Pro-tip: buy your tickets way in advance, or maybe find someone who can buy them for you.
Game day finally arrived. We got there early, which was smart because the place was already packed. Found our seats (they were pretty good, actually), and settled in. The energy in the arena was electric. Everyone was screaming and cheering. It was infectious, even for a volleyball newbie like me.
The games themselves were intense. I mean, I didn’t really know the rules that well, but I could tell these athletes were serious. Diving for the ball, spiking it like their lives depended on it… it was pretty wild. My cousin was explaining everything to me – rotations, scoring, all that jazz. I was mostly just enjoying the spectacle.
Of course, gotta talk about the food. Those stadium hotdogs? Not bad! Plus, we loaded up on popcorn and soda. Gotta fuel the cheering, right?
By the end of the day, I was exhausted. My voice was hoarse from screaming, and my feet were killing me from all the standing. But honestly? It was a blast. Way more fun than I expected. I even started to get into the strategy of the game.
So, yeah, that’s my UAAP volleyball games experience in a nutshell. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Just maybe I’ll buy the tickets online next time, if the website cooperates.
Here’s a few things I learned from the whole thing:
- Plan ahead. Get your tickets early.
- Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking and standing.
- Bring cash. Some vendors might not accept cards.
- Learn a little about the game before you go. It makes it more enjoyable.
- Hydrate! It gets hot and sweaty in that arena.
Final Verdict
Definitely worth checking out, even if you’re not a huge volleyball fan. The atmosphere alone is worth the price of admission. Plus, it’s a great way to support local sports and have a fun day out.
