IdahoGirl Absolutely! It's a great game for seniors 50+, even for beginners, I think. Of course, it's even better if you've played at a younger age, so you don't have to learn it from scratch. Once you get the various hits down, it's just a matter of making yourself...

IdahoGirl Oh my, I love badminton too. I wish it were more available to play. Here it is more of an outdoor, casual, backyard summer sport. I played singles and doubles indoor badminton in college, and that really got me fired up about the sport. I like volleyball best,...

IdahoGirl I'm not sure I understand what you mean by serviced. I have served! (ha!) I have also umpired youth volleyball games, but it is not easy to do. It's hard to see everything in a fast moving game of power hitters.

IdahoGirl Find a group to play with, making sure at least someone knows the game well and can teach you how to hit the ball properly and some game strategies, and you will learn to love it. It's not a hard game to play once you know how, and it's not hard to learn...

IdahoGirl What to you mean "kiddios stuff?" Are you suggesting that volleball is a kiddy or kids' sport? Not on your life - watch Olympic or college volleyball sometime. PS I hate soccer! All that running, and for what? Usually a score of 1-0 or maybe 2-1. Arrgghhh!

IdahoGirl So true... that's why I like playing the front row, especially. Nothing like a good KILL to make you feel better about - whatever - right? A good hard overhand serve helps too, espeically when it's an ace!

IdahoGirl I love your comment "none of us likes to lose." I HATE to lose. Maybe that's why I like sports rather than gym workouts so much. I love competition! When I play volleyball (or any other sport) I don't even notice that I am sweating or getting a workout because...

IdahoGirl The only way to get better is to play. I've seen it myself, I've helped players who said they were not "athletic," or were "afraid of the ball," etc. Now, they play regularly and are greatly improved.

IdahoGirl Yes, so true! You can't be a hero in volleyball - it is imperative that you all play together as a team. In fact, a perfectly completed play involves three hits - the pass, the set, and the spike (or kill). This requires total cooperation and teamwork....

IdahoGirl I enjoy watching it on TV but much prefer to PLAY! The best volleyball, of course, can be seen at the Summer Olympic games; both indoor and beach volleyball. Love it!

IdahoGirl Wow! I wish I could play four times a week! Well, when our women's church league starts up again this month, at least I'll get to play more than once a week.

IdahoGirl Yes, we have Church volleyball as well. We have teams, co-ed for the youth, and womens' teams for adults, but we also have drop-in co-ed adult volleyball late evenings, for whoever "drops in." Sometimes we play until midnight. Great fun! This is indoor court...
