Notes:
My wife, Belinda, can't stand ANY of the above versions. She uses a version
that changes from loose "S" hands into "3" hands.
(Note:
Despite her many amazing qualities, my wife is only so-so at playing
volleyball.)
Connie Rubery, an old friend of mine, (who can cream most people in volleyball) used to
sign (and I believe still does) "volleyball" with the "8-handshape" into "5-handshape" version. (The version that I
recommend.) Hmmmm.
