The Longest Set So Far
What do you do when it gets to 28 - 28 and you know your flip over score
board only goes to 30 all.
.... Hope the set ends within the next two points?
.... Restart the scoreboard at 0 - 0 ?
At Wessex's, the assistant scorer quietly goes and gets another scoreboard
(one that goes beyond 30 - 30) and sets it up - just in case it's needed.
 |
In the end, the second score board got quite a bit of use, at 37 - 35 to Wessex, it was by far the
longest set this season in the EVA National
League. The next longest (to date) being the Men's 3 East match between Cambridge v Dartford where they
had a 30-32
score line.
Full marks to the Wessex score table for being prepared, no prizes in guessing which score board they
used
for the next set.
You can watch the whole 36 minute long set below or if you prefer, just the second half, as I had to
split the file in
to two. |

Leicester v Malory Photos
|
EVA Men's Knockout Leicester v Malory, 12th January 2008, Result: 1-3 (23-25 25-20 15-25 22-25)
A good game to watch, pity I was taking photographs, Leicester played well but sadly not all the time,
some very good rallies and good crowd.

Fill an old volleyball with sand
| USA student web site, Student Sport Volleyball (http://ssvolleyball.rivals.com) includes a number of weekly
training tips:
Q. How to improve your wrist strength... Simple... fill an old volleyball with sand.
One of the most important things in volleyball is wrist strength. Hitters need it for snapping on the
ball, setters to set, passers to overhand pass, and blockers to block high balls. Every position needs
wrist strength.
