Nancy Tremblay: Lunchtime Volleyball
Posted on Thursday, April 18th, 2013
We started playing in the fall of 2003 or 2004??? I can’t remember for sure — too many balls to the head I guess…. Following the 2003 (or 2004) United Way Volleyball tournament, we had so much fun that we agreed someone should set up a lunch time game — and that person ended up being me.
We wanted this to be a ‘drop in’ game so, by word of mouth and by posting it on MyAlgonquin, we were able to recruit players. Some of them have been there from the beginning. Some can’t make it this term because of class schedules. Others come and go.
The lunchtime volleyball game is a great way to get in shape, meet new people from other areas of the College that you may have otherwise not met, or simply to renew acquaintances. Because players come from all sorts of backgrounds and skill levels, it’s always great fun.
Staff have been meeting on Fridays at lunch for years to play Badminton. I’ve been told that this is ‘drop in’ as well. Cheryl Mac Ewen in the Gymnasium can give you more information about the badminton games.
