You know your addicted when you train 10 times a week, 5 in the gym, 5 with the ball and then have a match on Saturday and Sunday. You have your own Vball website and your favourite list is full of Vball links. You use ALL your holidays on training camps and tours and dont have anytime for friends outside vball or for any family. You move to a foreign country on your own where no-one speaks english just so you can wake up to play Vball and not waste your life sitting behind a desk.

  • When you carry an ICE and Heat pack in your bag.
  • When you have a medicine chest in your Volleyball back pack.
  • When you boast you play 4 times a week and your tired.

Your boss is impressed because you stay late all the time. What he doesn't realize is that the volleyball courts are closer to work than home.

You never miss a college or professional football, basketball, baseball or hockey post-season game, unless it falls on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday night.

You invite a girl on a date and she's free this week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, so you put the date off until next week.

You take frequent business trips and you know how long it takes, to the minute, to get from JFK or LaGuardia to every facility that you play, and schedule your flights accordingly.

MiddleMan: I LOVE IT!

I'm 45 minutes from my gym to LGA and 52 minutes from JFK. I figured the other local airports such as Newark and MCArther are just to far.

Where to you play?
