Building the Foundation: How Meera Found Her Love for Volleyball

Meera’s volleyball story started at home, not as a player, but as a helping hand. Her older brother needed someone to shag balls while he practiced, and in the process, she learned the fundamentals of setting to help him train. Little did she know, this early exposure would spark her own love for the game.

“My brother played and needed someone to shag balls. Eventually, I learned to set so that he could practice hitting.”

What began as a sibling assist turned into a passion, leading Meera to develop into a strong setter and server with a keen understanding of the game.
