This past weekend I put together a team from NETS to participate in the annual Volleyball For All Tournament. Businesses, schools, families, or groups of friends all put together teams to play. There were 240 teams competing on 20 courts. It was said that this is the largest social volleyball tournament in southern Africa and perhaps the whole continent.
Many years ago NETS used to win this tournament, but much has changed since then. We had one team member who was a part of those championship teams, but now he's a lecturer rather than a student. Our team got off to a great start winning our Group in the pool round. In the first round of the knock-out stage, our match was tied at 17-17 as time expired. We played one last point to determine who would advance. We did our best, but our own mistakes undid us and we lost the point. However, all around it was a fun day and after 10 hours in the sun no one was too sad to be going home.
