Christina and I participated in the famous Manhattan Beach 6-man tournament this past weekend and it was an absolute blast!!! For those of you unfamiliar with this famous annual event, it is a costume 6-on-6 beach volleyball tournament held every summer in Manhattan Beach. It is like taking the indoor game to the beach, which is fabulous fun for all, since opporunities to play indoor volleyball are rare after college.
I got to play middle hitter again, which I have not done since playing for Greece! Christina played outside hitter and we had a team of wonderful girls, mostly from Manhattan Beach, who get together once a year to play. We had amazing defense and we had so much energy and fun! Our team was the "Mile High Club" in association with Memphis Restuarant/Bar in Manhattan Beach. We had pink and orange flight attendant dresses, hats, scarfs, and wore gold and white bikinis. We were full of energy and played a whole heck of a lot of volleyball games in two days with little sleep... yet feuled by an amazing group of energetic, sweet, and wonderful gals! We chanted and cheered before each game and had amazing support from the families of the Manhattan Beach core group of girls. It was just like playing club volleyball back in high school with the parents being the biggest fans and best support!
It was my first year playing with this fabulous group of gals and it was super fun! We ended up tying for 3rd, which isn't too bad for a group that just got together to play the moment the tournament started!
