And I guess that miniature golf is only popular with people who can't play real golf. And table tennis is popular only with those who can't play real tennis...
But I get that you're joking. Any game can get weird when people become over-competitive and suck the fun from everybody else. We've probably all met people like this. When that happens, I just quit playing with those people.

Did you mean Real Tennis or Lawn Tennis?
To the best of my knowledge there are only about half a dozen Real Tennis courts in the UK and I have never heard of any in the USA.
In my 4 meter x 16meter pool, we mostly play with a beach ball. Great for older, less fit nudists and can be just as much aerobic exercise. We mainly use a big 400- 500mm beach ball. Less hard on the hands etc and very much less predictable! Great fun!

That reminds me. What do profesional sports and pornogrphy have in common? Those who can do it, those who can't watch ;-)
I agree. The nudist resort I frequent has a daily friendly water volleyball game. Anyone is welcome to join. Batting around a smaller beach volleyball is still exercise and is a lot easier on arthritic hands. I applaud any senior who is up and moving.
I have not been to a resort or club that has a net in the pool however there is a hot springs pool with a net.There has never been a real game, just a few people hitting the ball.
I assume your talking about Dakota (Formally The Well). There used to be regular volleyball games (mostly on Saturdays). I can't remember the guys name, but he would prod just about everyone there to get involved.

the only problem i have with volleyball is that they take over the entire pool !!many of us enjoy just floating around the pool on an air mattress and as soon as someone hollers " volleyball " everyone else is forced outa the pool ,i recall once a lady was sitting about 10 feet from the edge reading a book, minding her own business when a ball landed in the water near the edge sending a ton of water all over her and ruining her book , i think they should set limits on when and how long volley ball can be played
I think that is precisely the reason our club built a separate outdoor water volleyball pool. Our club is a Co-Op and much of the profits are put back into the club's amenities. More concrete tennis courts, more pickle ball courts and a huge hot tub next to the new water volleyball pool. This now frees up the indoor pool. The main outdoor pool was never used for volleyball.

I love water volleyball but the beach ball is a ton of fun for people of all ages. We play it that there is no limit to the hits per side as long as it does not hit the water and eventually goes over the net.

You are correct. I have not been there during the day on a Saturday. We usually go on Wednesdays in the evening. Less people and more chill.
