life's a beach!

I managed to get to volleyball tonight which was fantastic, because I've really missed it these past few weeks. The skills of the team have really picked up since we first started about nine months ago. We're getting most of our serves in which means we keep the flow of the game in our favour and we're using our shots more effectively, setting the ball up and taking the time to place it well in our opponent's court.

Even though we've picked up our game, it's still a lot of fun. It's nice to be able to enjoy a team sport, but not have people be overly serious doing it. Running, jumping and occasionally diving and waving your arms around for 40 minutes in a big sandpit is a great way to get your heart pumping though and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Oh...did I mention we won? Yay BeachBums!
