A Mix

Last night was vball night. Unlike last week when we played over half of the games in rain, which sometimes was torrential, the weather was decent. My play was a little off and on. I had streaks of both good and bad play. I got a few good hits in which are like little shots of dopamine every time I’m able to get this old body high enough to clear the net. I am considering if I want to try to move to the group that plays at a higher skill level.

There are a number of players in this group that just don’t/can’t do the fundamentals real well. They carry the ball routinely, go over on one often and more or less play picnic-style volleyball. We have a decent amount of players that do have skill so we manage to have competitive games most of the time but it can get frustrating. I guess my thought is you play up or down to the skill level of the people you play with. I would rather angle myself upward with the limited court time I have.
