For Heaven Sake Go for the ball

For the quality of the opposition team, the game what we played on Tuesday night was really good. Opponent team played in 4:2 combination with 4 hitters and 2 setters, our team has only one hitter and setter with others acting as receivers for the ball. My setting was awful yesterday with most of the balls going too wide or too close to the net and was easily blocked. While practicing (“taking touch” in volleyball slang) before the match we use heavy beach volleyball. The ball used in the match is very light compared with the practicing ball, which may be one of the reasons for my setting going bad in the match. Setting is more about control of the ball and strategy. We took lot of points in service, I was happy with the way I served. The guy who introduced us for playing in the league is around 60 years old, he also plays along with us in the team (with someone changing as sub-in). Age is supposed to slow down the reflex, but I don’t think it will slow down your attitude to go for the ball. There are few old people who play with me in the Dunmore Community Center, I admire there flexibility at that age. They are simply too good. I am not going to crib about the old guy, but when he is in the court the mistakes what he makes brings the moral of whole team down. I am not asking for all good players to play in the same team, but players who make an attempt to go for the drop falling in front of their legs.
