Fujian Daily·New Fujian Client October 9th (Reporter Chen Haner, Correspondent Liang Longlong) "Pay attention to the position of the ball and prepare to spike! Take off, okay!" On the 8th, on the volleyball court of Qilan Primary School in Dongzhuang Town, Xiuyu District, coach Xie Lijun was conducting daily training on the school volleyball players. The field was full of vitality, and cheers and shouts came one after another during the court.
Qilan Primary School was founded in 1995. The school covers an area of 4473 square meters and has a construction area of 1798 square meters. It currently has 6 teaching classes and 116 teachers and students. It is a "small and beautiful" rural complete primary school. The moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also bloom like peonies. Although it is a rural school, Qilan Primary School has a "five consecutive championships" volleyball team in Putian City volleyball league. In recent years, as a volleyball specialty school, the school has made full use of physical education classes, interest groups and sunshine sports to let children get in touch with volleyball, and the special school has been running all the way.
In 2015, Qilan Primary School was identified as a volleyball sports training base school by the Municipal Sports Bureau and the Municipal Education Bureau. Since then, volleyball has gradually developed into the business card and feature of Qilan Primary School. In physical education teaching, the school adheres to the concept of "mastering two skills and falling in love with one sport" and includes volleyball in school-based courses. Not only does it teach volleyball in physical education classes, but it also highlights the volleyball event in the second classroom activities.
"Due to the lack of training experience and lack of funds and other difficulties, the volleyball team can only make up for the shortcomings with hard training." Xie Lijun said that after 6:30 in the morning, some players came to the school to train one after another. After school in the afternoon, they would train for another one and a half hours to two hours. If the two weeks before the game, you usually have to train for 3 hours a day, and two coaches will rotate on weekends to ensure that the children are in the best shape before the game.
From 2017 to the present, the men's and women's volleyball teams of Qilan Primary School have participated in provincial, municipal and district three-level competitions, and have won 7 municipal championships and 8 district championships. Among them, in the 2021 Putian Primary and Secondary School Volleyball League and Putian School Games Volleyball Competition, the school’s men’s and women’s teams both won the first place, and the men’s volleyball team won the “five consecutive championships” in this event.
"I hope to cultivate students' attitude towards learning and life through volleyball training, cultivate a value orientation that strives forward and inherits traditions and is brave in innovation, lead students to understand the true meaning of life, and be a person who can adapt to social development and promote social progress." Chen Jianning, principal of Qilan Primary School, said that in recent years, the school has explored the path of volleyball's characteristic school management, developed volleyball into school culture, and used this to drive the development of various work, enhance the school's popularity, and lay a good foundation for the continuous development of education and teaching.
