What “Thankful For The Game" Means to Us at MyVolleyBox
Here at MyVolleyBox, “Thankful For The Game” is all about appreciating the community, grit, and passion that makes volleyball so special!
For our team, November is a season of deep gratitude. Handpicking each box is our way of honoring the incredible dedication we see from players, coaches, and families every day. We pour our hearts into designing items that bring a smile to your face before early morning tournament warmups and keep your spirit high during tough training sessions.
For our subscribers, this month is a time to reflect on why we fall in love with volleyball over and over again. It’s about being grateful for the late-night team bus rides, the unstoppable kills, the diving saves, and the teammates who turn into lifelong friends. Every set played and every sweat-soaked practice builds character on and off the court. We are so thankful to share this journey with you!
Hot Topic: Should teams switch sides after every set?
Historically, switching sides between sets ensured fairness regarding arena lighting, gym drafts, or sun glare. However, with modern indoor facilities, many leagues and coaches argue that side switches slow down match momentum, confuse spectators, and add unnecessary delays to long tournament days.
On the other hand, traditionalists feel switching sides resets team focus and keeps the playing field strictly equal—especially when ceiling heights or wall distances vary in local gyms.
