My experience playing volleyball so far
1. HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT
2. I only played three times and I'm getting addicted
3. Progress is fast
The first time I played, mostly with other beginners, we sucked at first and we made significant progress over the course of an hour or so. Same the second and third time I played.
4. It's such a great way to make friends
I went to a volleyball event on Sunday with 40 or 50 people. Then I organized a game with friends and friends of friends. A random German traveler saw we were uneven (4v3), asked to join, and when we got a drink later I offered him to crash on my couch for a few nights.
And playing with people is such a bonding experience.
In fact, pro tip to build friendships: do activities together that are new to all of you.
5. I was surprised to feel a bit sore the day after
I've been moving my body in ways I'm not used to. Probably mostly shoulders and abs.
