With fall just kicking off, now's the time to cash in on that sunny -- and quickly cooling -- weather and play some indoor and outdoor volleyball.There are a bunch of courts locally - whether you're in Greenville or Spartanburg - where you and some friends could easily get some tunes blasting and play a few rounds under the sun. Who said you have to go to the beach to play in the sand?
You need a volleyball and a court - all of which are free - so your investment is pretty minimal.
If you ever want to take your game to the next level and join a league, www.upsouthvolleyball.com is a pretty good resource where volleyball players go to connect. It sponsors an adult league with the city of Greenville, too.
