Senior Volleyball is Alive and Well in Austin Texas!

Senior Volleyball is Alive and Well in Austin Texas!  Vollyeball girl

Today is the day that I play 2 hours of Senior Volleyball with a mixed group of men and women.  We aren't talking sponge ball but hard hitting in your face (if you can still jump) volleyball.  These Seniors mean business. 

I'm proud to say that I can hold my own with a group that runs from age 49 to 78!  You heard right - those over 70 still kicking butt...throwing themselves to the floor to keep a ball alive, running into a teammate so as to make a save or just simply playing a ball perfectly for a point.

You're never too old to begin an exercise program.  You might not wish to begin playing with the hardcore volleyball group but you can get out and walk yourself into shape.

Check us out at the South Austin Rec Center on Cumberland St. every Monday and Wednesday from 1-3 pm.  And don't forget your water bottle!  You got to stay hydrated to stay strong.

Good morning Gwynn,

Why am I not surprised you are active in Senior Volleyball! Good for you! Our oldest Granddaughter had a great season on the Westwood Varsity team..now she is playing on her league team..Volleyball is a big part of her life and her younger sister seems to be following in her foot steps! Great sport!!

I know they have Senior Exercise classes here at Canyon Lake; maybe Senior Volleyball is something we should consider.

Gwynn...sounds like fun. I love volleyball but haven't played it in years.  I've just started a new wellness program and have added Zumba to my workout schedule.  That kicks my butt!

Barbara:  There just might be Senior Raquetball....I know they have Senior Track with shot putting, etc.  If I find out I'll let you know.

Dorie:  You caught me...Volleyball is still a game I can play, Basketball would probably whip my butt and I just gave up Softballl two years ago.  Definitely like to play an indoor sport now...  Love that your g.daughter's play VB for Westwood.

Carl and Ceil...we play in San Antonio frequently.  They have a great Senior program and it's not too far from you.  Try it sometimes.

Kim:  Glad to see you back at AR...you've been missed.  Tell me how Zumba is working for you...it's all the rage around here.

Gwynn, if you are old enough for a senior volleyball team, I need to know what kind of wrinkle cream you use!  Happy Thanksgiving!
