[FF5]Knix Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 For those who know about Volleyball, this is probably the U.S.'s biggest win since getting the gold at the '88 olympics in Seoul. Spike this baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXS Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Sp@zz, Beleive it or not, some people play for the love of the sport not for the love of money. These guys play because it is the best sport in the world. (I'm partial to volleyball because I played middle hitter in college) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacko Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 w00t. Volleyball is so much fun! And to watch those pros play (especially the men) is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to me why they would play volleyball if they didn't like it. I played left hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXS Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 When played correctly, volleyball is an explosive and violent game (example: quick set followed by 120 mph spike within the 10 foot line) tempered with finess and ultimate body control (example: charging towards the net and making a split second vertical change in direction to avoid touching the net). It requires split second, cat-like reflexes (example: returning a serve or spike in such a manner that it is playable a.k.a. pass) not to mention quick wits and a cunning mind to defeat a good opponent (example: reading an opponents offensive or defensive play, which typically takes less than two seconds to execute, and adjusting accordingly). I love the intensity and mental aspect of the game too. BTW - I'm not talking backyard BBQ slapball...no no no...talking about six man court ball (or even two man sand ball).
