Volleyball

We were surprised to know we placed third in the overall standings. I couldn't believe it, but it is, we placed third. Second was K.B.C.C. and the first was Strike Force Gold [1]. Thanks to Ivan the team stepped up a notch in the level of play and each are getting the rhythm of the game. This is a big improvement over the last time, the cellar dweller of the tournament.

Considering the team has just played two tournaments, the second one played with no setter. We were expecting more of the same old play we did last time. But it turned out to be wrong. The team played really well, we even had the opportunity to pull-ahead of K.B.C.C. in one set and maintain the lead for most of the set, until a series of errors caused the tide to turn and we never recovered from there.

Next step is setup a non-profit organization with the objective of providing services to those who would like to improve their skills in playing volleyball. I think Dave is the man for this, he probably has a good idea how this will work out, though.
