Happy Thursday!

We are changing a few things around at U Beach VBall – we have got a new super cool web design program that will make posting videos much easier to post and play on the website – ( if you’re in the market for web design programs check out XSitePro – it’s a GREAT system!)

So - When was the last time you heard the term volleyball used by a sports announcer?

Whenever I hear a football or basketball announcer use the term volleyball, I most usually cringe and shake my head –

It seems as though if a ball gets batted/slapped up around in the air, the announcer uses his "incredible talent and knowledge of sports" to say something along the lines of “ they volleyballed the ball… or he hit it like a volleyball…”

Now, if the only exposure the announcer has had to volleyball is playing it with a group of slap happy half 'sauced' relatives on a badminton net at a family picnic – I can forgive him.

BUT – since the AVP is regularly on Network TV, beach volleyball was shown as much or more than any other sport during the Olympics, the US has won Olympic gold metals many times in both the indoor and the beach game – the announcer needs to be slapped up side his head!

So, Mr Announcer, the next a basketball or football gets tipped around like a hot potato, show your intelligence and say, "in beach volleyball, that play would be blown dead because it would be lift or a double contact because it wasn’t a hard driven ball"!

Slapping at and batting around a ball is acceptable if you are in a swimming pool and your name is Gaylord Falker, or you are drinking Pina Coladas poolside in Cabo…but THAT ain’t volleyball!
