Should I Play Volleyball?

First and foremost, let me say that there's nothing in the world like the feeling of diving for the ball and making the ultimate save, racking up another point on the scoreboard-in my opinion, anyway. It's often hard for me to remember that there are people out there that don't enjoy the sport, which makes it hard every time someone comes up to me with the inevitable question-do you think I should play volleyball?

If you're already a certified court master, there's no question in your mind what the answer to that question should be. It usually falls somewhere along the lines
of, "Where's the ball?"! If you're waffling with the decision of whether or not to play volleyball, however, and it's blown up into momentous proportions-relax.
If you're still trying to make the decision as to whether or not you want to spend time on a regular basis smacking, bumping and spiking a ball over the net you're probably not sitting around waiting for the next summer Olympics. You've got time.

The beauty of volleyball is that although it definitely requires serious physical endurance, you've got time to build that up while playing. It's not like getting ready to hit the track for your first 5K, where if you're not in shape the minute you step out there you're going to fall on your face. As mentioned in an earlier blog, volleyball was actually designed to be a low impact sport for senior citizens by a concerned member of the YMCA. That makes it a fun, friendly sport, even if you're the type of person who has dedicated themselves to avoiding athletics like the plague.

There's also a great deal of variety in volleyball. You're never stuck in a rut. You can play beach volleyball, or indoor volleyball, or pairs, or team volleyball…the possibilities are limitless. Volleyball is an easy sport to take out of the competitive field and into your backyard, which means you don't have to have a killer instinct and a love of team sports to enjoy.

So should you play volleyball? Absolutely! Give it a try. Whether you're playing competitively or just enjoying a lazy game on the beach, you have nothing to lose.
