Watching A Volleyball Game NEC VS JT

At the first time, I enjoyed watching a volleyball game with my girlfriends and friends from my laboratory in Urayasu, Chiba prefecture.

The players were so taller than us, maybe over 180cm!!
And the games was very exciting and gripping.

First set NEC got.
Second set JT.
Third set NEC.
Fourth set JT.
Fifth set NEC!!
NEC won 3-2 sets.
JT's receivers were really so good, but
NEC's attackers were very stronger than JT's players.

I want to watch a valleyball game again.

Go up to Level 4 by February 29th.

Why?
That is difficult, but I try this, even I use any means!!
No try, No success!!

It took 2 month to went up to level 6.
I thought I would be in Level 5 soon.
But I could not go up. I sometimes went to NOVA.
I couldn't keep going to NOVA.

From January, I go to NOVA three times a week.
