For some unknown reason, I did not play much in college. I managed to get on a couple intramural teams, however, and (brushing off my shoulder…) we took 1st place in our leagues. But still these games did not provide me with the competition I was ultimately looking for.

A LONG four years later, I ventured out to the Washtenaw Rec Center (wow, do they need some website help!) in search of some open gym volleyball. To my surprise, the level of play was just what I was looking for, and in a serendipitous moment, I met six girls who shared my love for the game and happened to need a sub for their upcoming season. I have played with these girls for about a year now (I managed to wiggle my way onto the team as a permanent member) and our games on Tuesday nights are the highlight of my week! (Thanks girlies!) Our team is constantly improving, and as for me, I have never played better.
