Yay for volleyball!

I am thrilled to report that our stake does womens volleyball! Every week a game, and at the end of the season there is even a couple wards from the stake who go to regionals. None of the wards I was in in Idaho had volleyball tournies and I was vastly disappointed. I grew up thinking that volleyball tournaments came with any ward. Mom always played in them and even went to regionals a couple of times.
Is it just a Utah thing? If so, I might just want to make Utah my permanent home. :) So far I've played in three games. (There were two games before I was completely aware of it.) Anyway, I have no hope of our ward going to regionals, but I'm having a blast anyway. Oh, and my serves are suddenly okay. Every other time in my life that I've played volleyball I had very sketchy and unpredictable serves. They rarely got over the net. And while I still sport the wimpy underhand serve, it rarely doesn't go over the net. Heck, I even score lots of points with my serves as they invariably fall in awkward spots. Completely accidental, but I'll take it.
Yay for volleyball!

Tell my why you enjoy volleyball so much as opposed to other sorts.

Because I'm better at it than other sports. And it doesn't involve much running, which I'm terrible at. Slow and wheezy. I also love playing football, despite the running, but I doubt I'll ever see the day when there is a womens football tournament in the church. :)

I wish I was good at volleyball...I can't get over my aversion to balls flying at me. It doesn't help that they all seem to be magnetically attracted to my head...and that applies to all sports. Despite my best intentions I still duck and cover the majority of the time the ball heads my directions.
