Volleyball to di world!

Lots of you have already heard this story but I haven't posted any pics yet so I thought I'd go ahead and rehash the event. I got to coach my first volleyball clinic in Jamaica a few weeks ago. There were about 60 kids, one net and four balls! Craziness!!! But once I got them to stop kicking the ball around like a football all the kids had a lot of fun. The clinic was held on friday and then on saturday there was a beach volleyball tournament outside of Falmouth. The tournament has been held for I think five consecutive years as a fundrasier for local schools in the parish of Trelawney and it was started by two PCVs who return to Jamaica each year to put the event together. They asked me to be a ref and I ended up refing for the men's pro division. There are some pretty good players here in JA, and I am luckily now connected with players who live close to me. We play every sunday afternoon on the beach and I'm LOVING it. I thought I'd have to go two years without playing competitve vball... little did I know! And the two RPCVs who have been running the tournament have asked me to help put it together for next year. I'm definitely excited about helping this fundraising project along. The pics on this post were taken by my dear friends Meg and Josh, thanks for being my photographer guys!!
