I went with one of my friends/high school teammates, Morgan to play some city rec volleyball last night. If there had been a spy in my car on the way to Meridian we would have been figured out: We were nervous, insecure girls. Scared to death we forgot how to play ball. We swore we would for sure not be doing any diving for balls, we didn't even have knee pads.
We definitly did not forget. We were a little rusty, but for not touching a ball with the exception of maybe two 4th of July bbqs since high school, six years ago, I thought we did impressively well. It felt sooo good to spike a ball again, and serving, yep.. .just as good as I remembered.
We spent the whole drive over saying how we weren't coming again, we were so nervous... we were going to suck. And I think we spent the whole time coming home wishing we weren't just subs for the team. It felt really good to get together with other girls and do something active.
Ya, well the whole swearing you wont dive for balls... Kind of ridiculous when you spent half your junior and high school years diving for balls during regular and club seasons. My knees are a little bruised today, my forearm (only one) is bruised. My hands are sore, and the tops of my legs are a bit tender. Really? I have been working out like a mad woman for two months, and after an hour of volleyball I am feeling tender?
I guess I haven't used those muscles in a little while. P.s We lost all three games, but by the third game we had the scores a little closer. And we had a GREAT time!

I've felt exactly the same way when I think about trying to find a city team to join! Glad you girls had fun :)
Oh we are looking for a city team. We are just subs for that team, but we really want to play all the time!! Have you heard of any?! We should all play together if either of us hear of anything, it would be sooo fun!!
:( This made me jealous! I miss you guys! I wish I could play with you.....maybe when I get home we can ALL get together and play!
Love you!
