While we don't have any beaches, the city did ship in some sand and created a beach volleyball park.
We have an event every June called the State Games of Mississippi, where hundreds of amateur athletes come here to compete in different events (Olympic type competition )
I decided it would be fun to go out in the 100 degree weather and try and capture the volleyball action. Here are a few of my favorites.
Look close at the 3rd how much the ball compressed when he hit it!
some nice photos,, I shoot all the grandkids games and rather than shooting from the end of the court I find mid way on the side offers some good face and body shots,, the net really does not detract and can add,, also can show a lot of action when both sides are up in the air for the slam and block,,
pawlowski6132 - I was hoping there would be more chicks, but mostly old rosters.
derry1 - Thanks for the comment
ericgu - I did shoot some from a kneeling position, but you are right these were from a standing or squating position. I was so close to the net that I was not sure I could get out of the way fast enough if I was sitting. Thanks for the comment!
