Skill level - ( - ) Skill level also negatively influenced my participation because mine and others skill level wasn't very high when playing volleyball which decreased my participation because games wouldn't last very long and it ended up being just muck around games.

Previous experience - (+) Previous experience positively influenced my participation because I've known how to play and the rules to volleyball since primary which increased my participation because I knew how to hit the ball most times it came to me and knew when to set or when I was to spike.

I could increase my (or my peers) participation by reminding them how to hit the ball no matter how it's coming at them.
