I played volleyball in high school. I enjoyed it. It’s a tough sport that takes a lot of skill. It also requires you to be in great shape, and I was at the time.  The fact that I’m 6′4″ was also a benefit to my game. I remember it being fun, but I don’t recall it being too incredibly popular.  We never had huge crowds watching all of our games like the Friday night football games in the fall.  We were lucky if half the team had parents in the stands at any given game. That’s why I find it hilarious that Americans suddenly get volleyball fever when Olympians Kerri Walsh and Misty May are on TV. Maybe it has something to do with their skimpy outfits?  Maybe it was the pouring rain keeping things…uhh…perky? Not that I’m complaining….I’m just saying.
