# Volleyball > A lunch-break invitation at Decathlon became a sport I kept playing in Lille and Montpellier. Volleyball · From lunch breaks to a team Category: Beyond work [Open in the interactive portfolio]() [Français]() ## It started at lunchtime At Decathlon, the lunch break often left room for an hour of sport before eating. A couple of months after I joined, a friend on the same floor invited me to play volleyball with his colleagues. It was my first time, and I really liked it. For the rest of my time there, I played once or twice a week. That same friend recommended Haikyu!!, which made me even more excited to play. We bought a net setup and started meeting friends to play on the grass over the summer. ## Taking it to Montpellier When I moved to Montpellier for Enka, I kept playing. There were club sessions, and we also put together our own team: Les Bouftous, named after the Bouftou from Dofus. Between the two, I was playing about twice a week. The team brought a more competitive side to it. We had a good run until an ankle injury and another teammate moving to Paris made it difficult to carry on. ## Receiving, and finding another way to attack In matches, I mainly focused on receiving. I’m not the tallest player or the biggest jumper, so when I attack, I try to place the ball somewhere people aren’t expecting rather than hit it as hard as possible. ## Finding my way back to it I’m not playing at the moment. Work and other things have taken priority, but I want to find somewhere to play again. It’s a sport I really enjoy, and I’d like to make room for it.
