Rant!

You have been warned, this is a rant. So if you don't want to read it, move on! :)

Ok, so I've joined this 4's team on Sundays at Urban Beach. First of all, I thought it was 6's so when I found out it was 4's, I was excited. Then I found out that they're in Pool "A", which is competitive so I was doubly excited. I couldn't wait to play and hopefully improve my skills.

Now, after 3 weeks, I am annoyed because I have yet to play with a full team yet. The last two weeks, the other girl didn't show up!!! Not only does that mean we are short a player, we had to play down 4 points right away.

Let me tell you, playing with only 3 players in a 4's game is difficult! First, there is a lot more open space to cover. Then, because there is more space to cover, it's more difficult to get good passes, good sets, good hits, good rallies, etc, etc. It's a vicious cycle because it's a domino effect. Once we get down on ourselves, it's hell to get it back up.

I was hoping so hard that we will actually get a full team tonight, but alas, it's not meant to be. Not only did the girl not show up, one of the guys didn't either!!!!!! So now we only had TWO players. TWO!!! For a 4's league. WTF??? It is SOOOOO annoying and frustrating and I am bloody pissed off. I did not sign up for this nor did I pay to play on a half-ass team. I want to play and play well, not all this people not showing up crap.

Next week is the long weekend, so no volleyball. Hopefully, in the next two weeks, we can find a full team. Otherwise, you may see another rant. Blah!
