Session 1 at Huntsman World Games

After four days of playing volleyball in the 60+ division at St. George, Utah, my team, FloorPlay 60's, finished with the Gold in the Silver Division.  The picture here shows our team in Black with our libero in powder blue (#3) and the Silver place finishers, Mix & Match wearing blue with their libero in pink (#2).

The weather here this time of year is to die for; 80's in the day and 60 at night.  We eat out most meals and lie around the pool or hike in the famous Zion Park mountains in our spare time.  But mostly we sit in the gym with whistles and sweaty aging athletes.  Fun eh?

The picture shows from left to right, our coach Don Hackett, me, Jeanne Kestly, Loretta Monaco, Patty Payne, Lee Farnsworth, Carol Hackett and Grace Smith.  Missing is Scherry Donato who left before playing due to the death of her Mother.

The Global Cup is going on simultaneously with 50+ men's teams representing Russia, Canada, USA, Latvia, Brazil, and several others which I can't remember right now.  There are teams from Bolivia , Mexico, Canada and Brazil competing in the womens' divisions.  There were 20 teams in our 60+ womens division.

I had a massage today before the final.  I don't know that it helped a great deal, but I sure enjoyed it.  The body gets stiff after the first few days but then I settle in and tomorrow we begin the 2nd session of 65+ women.  Our Legacy 65 team has four of the same players (Mary, Jeanne, Carol and Grace) and we bring in 3 more strong fresh players.
