After you leave college, playing team sports is logistically annoying mostly impractical. But now that I’m back in the school environment the opportunity has again arisen: the PE teacher sent an open invitation for us to help with the inter-school volleyball tournament. I was giddy with excitement as I volunteered to keep score and track the substitutions. I didn’t realize it was actually a stressful role. And I also didn’t realize how much volleyball has changed – yes it has been 10 years since I played competitively! That means that there is now a libero where there wasn’t one before and rally-point is standard. It makes me feel old for a sport to change so much. But the PE teacher asked me to help coach next year, which is an exciting idea, whether I do it or continue on as score keeper, I don't know yet.
