Travel and Tournament Prep

After the camps concluded, we spent two days traveling to a new location and getting to enjoy a boat ride to lunch (2 hrs) and then back to the hotel right by the water for a relaxing day to debrief.

Many of us took turns taking naps on the ride to and from lunch on the boat. The next day, we took a longer journey to the next location, where we hosted a tournament this past weekend for locals to experience a 4 v 4 beach volleyball tournament. We were so excited and had a relaxing day before the competition started.

The views and the beach were beautiful, and we couldn’t wait to meet all of the players we would be playing with!

Competitions

Here is an update from a few team members!

For the last two days, we have been able to share volleyball with the community and a local volleyball school. We were able to convey the love of the game by helping teach several kids at an orphanage how to play.

Then we headed to the beach. Once we arrived, we were able to locate a volleyball net where we intermingled and played with the locals.

Close to the end of the night, the locals challenged us to a game of volleyball before the sun was completely gone. We won, but both teams had fun during the game.

The next day, we were able to experience some of the local culture in the morning and do some shopping before heading to a volleyball academy. The weather was unsure at times, with rain falling on and off. However, when we arrived, the rain stopped and then started up again by the time we left.

At the academy, we were able to integrate with the younger students for a game of 6 v 6 volleyball. After that game, the Varisty high school team at the academy challenged us to a game.

This game went three sets, with us winning in three sets. This volleyball was high level, although it felt like a mud bath at times with the condition that the court was in.

Overall, these past few days have been full of numerous connections through playing a game that we love and desire to share.
