Co-ed Sports

                Hey there Ham Sandwich lovers, sorry for the long layoff. I took last week off to regroup and get a few ideas together. I'm back now and I plan on putting up two posts a week. Marcus Boyd will continue to post on Thursdays and I have another up and coming writer that is thinking about getting in on the action. So stay tuned.

                When I moved down to the DC Metro area I started getting involved in different sports leagues around the city. I was in a kickball league, an indoor volleyball league and now I'm part of a beach volleyball league. All the games are played in similar locations so even though I've only played on 3 teams, I've been able to check out all the other sports this area has to offer. This brought me to the conclusion that beach volleyball is the best co-ed sport. Here's why.

                There are a number of reasons that make beach volleyball better than other sports when it comes to co-ed play. I'm going to talk about the two most important ones. First, the difference between men and women when it comes to skill level is very small. Of course men, in general, can jump higher and hit the ball harder. However, in volleyball that isn't as important as you'd think. Good ball contact and placement are just as crucial. It's not as easy to get by just being an athletic male. That's what makes it such a great co-ed sport. Volleyball isn't like the rest when it comes to co-ed play. If you were playing co-ed basketball for instance, the girls on either team would be more of a liability. Sorry ladies, that's just how it is. In volleyball, you can have a team of 3 guys and 3 girls and everyone can be playing at the same level. In fact, some of the girls are probably better than the guys in terms of fundamentals. So if you're looking for a competitive sport to play with the ladies, volleyball is the way to go. Some people might say softball is in the same boat. I disagree, the size of the field and hitting power will separate the men from the women. That isn't the case in volleyball. The playing field is small enough that sheer athletic ability won't give you that much of an edge. It's what I'm going to talk about next that really catapults volleyball to the top.

                Has anyone ever noticed what girls wear when they play volleyball? Very small spandex shorts. If the game is indoor the shorts will be accompanied by a shirt or maybe a sports bra. In beach volleyball it'll most likely be a sports bra or bikini top. I was playing the other day and one of the girls was playing in just a bikini. What other sport, excluding swimming, can you go and see smoking hot girls wearing as little as possible? The answer none, it's only beach volleyball. It's hard to find something sexier than a hot chick in spandex shorts, a bikini top, covered in sand and sweaty. Every time I go to play in our league I have to have my head on a swivel so I don't miss anything. You don't have that in other sports. You just don't.

                I know I said I would only talk about two reasons. But I just thought of this one and need to get it out there. I like watching Men's Basketball and I hate watching Women's Basketball. The reason you ask? It's boring as shit. It's slow and boring and I can't stand it. Again, sorry ladies. However, I can watch Women's Volleyball anytime. Not just because they are wearing sexy outfits and sweating. But because the games are very competitive and entertaining to watch. If there are two games on, one men's beach volleyball and one women's beach volleyball. I would rather watch the women's game. I would do that because both games will be equally entertaining sports wise. But, the women's game comes with the added bonus of skimpy shorts and nice asses. So next time you're in the mood for a competitive co-ed sporting event. I would strongly suggest volleyball. Beach volleyball more specifically because you can dive in the sand and it won't hurt. The opportunity for "Top Plays" is greater in the sand.

               I play every Wednesday in a league down by the Lincoln Memorial and it's one of the best moves I've made since I moved down here. I get to check out the scenery, play an extremely fun sport and to top it off. DC has some of the best places to exchange Hand-jobs for Ham Sandwiches on the entire East Coast.
