I have been to this facility on a regular basis in 2017, 2018, and 2019. I've seen the gymnastics location where the various apparatus of the popular Olympic sport are. It will mesmerize both aspiring gymnasts and avid gymnastic fans to view. Also mesmerizing are the indoor volleyball courts.
I have been going to this place for the private sand volleyball lessons. I have the lessons on one of the outdoor beach courts, which are always kept in top notch condition. I have been doing the activities on the court regardless of the weather. Whenever it's sunny and humid, it's exciting to be out on the court although the sun has intimidated my view (despite having sunglasses on) whenever I had to do service drills facing the South. Also, when it's sunny, I get a gorgeous sight of the blue sky whenever I dive on the sand, roll around, and look up. Even when its cloudy and a little cool, I still enjoy the lesson.
My instructor is Sandra. She's affable and very knowledgeable about volleyball. Sandra provides tremendous credibility to the sport because she played it up to the college level and is currently involved with it in different capacities. She's taught me a little bit of everything regarding volleyball. I feel I've learned a lot from her. I hope to incorporate things that I learned the next time I play in sand volleyball matches. Even though I meet with Sandra to improve my volleyball skill set, I always get elated whenever she complements me on doing something decent. Also, she always says I did good at the conclusion of a lesson. I feel anybody who wants a lesson would like to work with Sandra because she teaches valuable things regarding volleyball and gives praise where it's due.
One time, Sandra brought in a young girl, who plays volleyball and is pretty talented, to work with me during a lesson. I am one who gets intimidated whenever I'm around others who seem superior in terms of talent. But that wasn't the case at all that day. I felt it was fun doing the activities with that girl. Being with her taught me to appreciate others and teamwork in volleyball. After almost every play, she and I slapped high fives, which was neat. That girl made me feel like I was her friend. I hope I can have that identical feeling with other teammates the next time I play in matches.
At the lessons, I've worn an Ohio State T-shirt, very short shorts, and an Ohio State visor. I feel this attire is perfect for sand volleyball. In 2017, I lost my visor once during a lesson. I was flabbergasted when this occurred. In 2018, I lost my visor a myriad of times. All of them resulted as I was rolling on the sand. It became comical, yet I was used to losing my visor. Sandra once said "Keep on losing your visor, huh?" It was the first time somebody said that I lost my visor. In my first lesson of 2019, Sandra tossed a ball to me during a drill and the ball knocked off my visor. In my final lesson at this facility, I did lose my visor as I dived for a ball and rolled on the sand. Despite having lost my visor a lot during the lessons here, I still enjoyed my time with Sandra.
Randy, the owner, is humble. He seems like a man's man. Because of this, I've had nice conversations with him. Since he was an AVP beach volleyball player and a minor league baseball player, I've been elated to have had chances of talking to Randy.
