I receive an email every week to go play volleyball with some of BYU's alumni. Most of them played at BYU in the 70s or 80s, but they still have what it takes. The funny thing is that besides playing for the team, this is the best volleyball around. You would be amazed at the ability these guys play at in their 40s, 50s, and even 60+. I feel challenged and humbled when a 60 year old man can hit a ball with such speed and perfect placement that I have to sacrifice my body to even have a shot at putting it back in play.
The guys enjoy having me there, too. I think since my shoulder has yet to give out, I add a different level to the game. Not that this level is higher (because I even got beat by the oldest guy in the gym today), but different. I can't make it every Friday, but when I do, it's always the highlight of the week.
