My Interests - Assignment 5

Volleyball has been part of my life since I can remember. I have played all levels of the game from club & AAU teams, to middle & high school volleyball, to the collegiate level and even now as a coach. I love to both watch and play the game. As an adult I play on an indoor woman’s league and during the summer on a beach league. Beach volleyball is so fun because you get to be outdoors enjoying the Michigan summers while playing.

~AVP Beach Volleyball Site: http://www.avp.com/ This site offers all the current standings on the professional beach volleyball leagues around the country. I am from the westside of Michigan where Grand Haven often will host an AVP tournament during the summer months.

~USA Volleyball Site: http://usavolleyball.org/news This site has all the current standings of indoor volleyball around the world. It details everything from the Olympic teams to youth teams. The site provides photos, videos, news, events, shopping, and even a league of sitting volleyball!

Baseball has recently become a large part of my life due to my husband. When we were married 4 years ago I knew he liked baseball, but I had no idea the amount of passion he has for the game and for the Detroit Tigers. Since he loves it so much I find myself naturally getting involved with the sport. When we travel we like to visit different ballparks around the country.

~MLB Official Site: http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp This is the official MLB website. You have the opportunity to learn just about everything on any team in both the American & National league.

~Detroit Tigers Site: http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=det This site is pretty much bookmarked on our home computer for my husband. He likes the site to keep up-to-date on all the latest news with the Detroit Tigers.

~Best Stadium Foods: http://sports.espn.go.com/travel/news/story?id=2532700 This article published by ESPN features the best stadiums around the country to go to for eating everything from hot dogs, to BBQ sandwiches, French Fries, and even the best ballpark steak!

A third hobby I have is scrapbooking. I got into scrapbooking in high school and used to make lots of albums documenting my life in pictures. I continued this hobby through college, but since then haven’t found the time to continue.
