(click on the image to enlarge) Our 3rd annual volleyball tournament was a great success! We more than doubled the number of teams and players over last year. Game play went from 11am to 4pm each weekday and from 10 am – 3pm on the weekend. The sand court and 3 grass courts were very busy all the time. We have determined that next year’s tournament will require at least one more court to keep up. The final count was: Wednesday’s King and Queen tournament: 38 players Thursday’s 4X4 tournament: 5 teams Friday’s Woman’s Breast Cancer tournament: 2 teams of 6 Friday’s Men’s Prostate CancerRead More →
