    Heather E. Schwartz

    When Heather E. Schwartz was thirteen years old, she tracked down several lead orphans from the 1983 movie "Annie" and interviewed them by phone. As an adult, she realized she could apply those same early instincts to a career as a journalist and writer. She is the author of more than 35 nonfiction children's titles, published by Lerner Publishing Group, Capstone Press, Teacher Created Materials, Lucent Books, and Tangerine Press, a Scholastic imprint. She has written articles for National Geographic Kids and Discovery Girls. In addition, she developed the content for KidsGetArthritisToo.org, the juvenile section of the Arthritis Foundation's website. Other credits in the children's market include articles for Teen, Girls' Life, and All About You magazines. Additionally, Ms. Schwartz is a former editor at Bridal Guide magazine, co-author of Bridal Guide Magazine's How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Gown (Warner, 2004), and contributor to The Takeout Cookbook (Knock Knock 2007).

      Top Volleyball Tips - Heather E. Schwartz

      Cover

      Ready, Set, Score!

      Your body is tense as you watch the opposing team and wait for the serve. Smack! The ball sails over the net to the player next to you. She sets it up, and then it’s your turn. Your fingertips push the ball up into the air. It comes down in perfect position for the middle hitter in the front row. She jumps up and attacks the ball with the palm of her hand. The ball hits the floor before your opponents can return it. Your team scores!

      Want a sport that’s as exciting as it is challenging? Vollyball pushes players to reach their full athletic potential. Players work with others and trust their teammates while they develop as individual athletes. Volleyball players who devote extra time and energy to their sport can rise through the ranks to compete at higher levels.
