I've been living in a beach town for the past year. I used to play volleyball competitively and have always enjoyed the freedom of being outdoors. Sometimes I feel trapped by my job and other obligations so I try to find ways to enjoy life as much as possible.

Recently, I had an experience that made me realize how important it is to follow your passions. A group of us decided to start a weekly volleyball league just for fun. It's been amazing because we get to play together every week, relax on the beach afterwards and have a great time.

One of my favorite things about playing volleyball is the sense of community that comes with it. Everyone looks out for each other and supports each other both on and off the court. I've met some incredible people through this league and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

I love how carefree life can be when you're doing something you love. It's easy to get caught up in worries about money, relationships, or work but volleyball reminds me that there's more to life than just those things. Sometimes we need to step back and enjoy the simple things.

Volleyball is a great way to stay active, improve your coordination and teamwork skills, and have fun while doing it. Plus, the beach setting makes it even more enjoyable because you get to play in the sun and ocean breeze.

The guys who started this league with me are all pretty laid-back and we always make sure everyone has a good time both on and off
