It's been months since I've played beach volleyball. Probably since August when I played my last tournament and cut the season short because of my knee pain.
2 surgeries and 8 months later, I'm back on the beach for the first time! Played some games at El Dorado with Tania, Dana and Sasha who was visiting from San Francisco.
It was definitely an ego check. I felt like I'd never played volleyball before and I couldn't move, run, jump, lunge or dive at all. I was really hesitant to go for balls and do anything drastic. So I focused on the things that I could do, passing fundamentals, serving (no jump serving), and limiting unforced errors by hitting high percentage shots.
It did feel good to get my feet in the sand again. I know I have a long ways to go, but today was a good first step.
