One of the guys in my group at work plays in league volleyball weekly, and asked me down to join the team for the rest of the summer, filling in for someone who had to leave. My skill level seems well-matched to everyone else there so it should be most enjoyable for the next month or so.

He also invited me to play on his league team in Cortland on Mondays during winter season, which I may do. That depends, however, on whether the Sunday evening group resumes playing in Ithaca, which in turn depends on whether they can obtain insurance. I don't want to play two nights in a row far enough away from home that I'll miss out on kids time.

The Wednesday night games down by the lake mean playing sets of three matches against at least two teams (depending on how long daylight lasts). They take place in Stewart Park, right down on the lake shore: a nice area and setting for playing.

Some 24 teams or so had nets up so there should be plenty of variety in terms of opponents. Apparently at the end of the season they tally the wins/losses to see where each team placed. I have no idea where this team ranks, but we didn't do that well this time around (one of the teams we played apparently is one of the best there).
