"Home" (THE WIZ)
In terms of my playing volleyball in any organized way, I started back in September 2003. But the impetus of volleyball has always been my family. It
was around me during family gatherings at my grandparents house on Sundays. We would gather, chat sitting on the porch, make some food, and do those family sports activities like baseball, basketball, and even volleyball. And you know how family sports activities, they are just crazy and wild but they were always fun. I come from a very large extended family so we would have about three teams of six easily, sometimes even enough to draw numbers to be put on a team and have a mini-tournament. It was a lot of fun having so many aunts, uncles, and cousins to do a lot of these activities with. I've always said I'm not an athletic person and it was even worse growing up. I was not a coordinated person and did not have a lot of confidence with sports even though I was always around it with my family. I loved playing volleyball with my family because it was all about FUN. I just wish it was something more I could do when I'm home in Texas but it's a little different now because I've learned so much about the game that I don't know if I could play it recreationally. My grandparents had a designated area for volleyball play and even had metal poles cemented in the ground to hold the net. The family took a collection to even get a net and ball which I'm not sure if we still have. So many memories about those days. I would stand on the side while I was not playing and holler out the score. Good times!!
