Help Queens Innovation Center Get a Girls Volleyball Team
To whom it may concern,
Queens Innovation Center would love to have a girls volleyball team by next year. I have been advocating for a girls volleyball team for over two years and now I'm discovering that there may be no team until my senior year. This is unacceptable. The boys get to have volleyball since it's a spring sport, which is very unfair. Our gym is fully certified and ready for sports considering we already have a boys volleyball team. The people from PSAL have decided to not send out the sports survey for our highschool because we already have 4 sports in our school (girls and boys basketball, girls badminton, and boys volleyball). Their reasoning is, we already have 4 sports (technically 3) and it wouldn't be fair to other schools for us to have more. This doesn't compute considering we're a second year school, and many other schools have more than 4 sports. It would be very helpful if you could help us get a girls volleyball team by the next fall (September 2026).
Thank you for your consideration,
Eveline Yip

Why is this important?
By giving Queens Innovation Center a girls volleyball team it would encourage healthy activities like exercising and working out. It would also help the students in engaging in team spirit as well as socializing. Joining a team, specifically a volleyball team (a very team motivated sport) it helps the students create new connections with their peers. Sports, such as volleyball, also contribute to decreasing the sadness in a student's system. Working out and playing sports increases your happiness because it triggers your brain to release chemicals like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. These chemicals help lift people's mood, create feelings of calmness, and reduced stress.
