News from Volleyball World

I have a HS classmate that runs a web site ( www.VolleyballWorld.org ), has several good sand volleyball courts in his back yard (Spakers, NY) and runs several tournaments through out the summer. If you are looking for summer volleyball alternatives check out the web site and/or get on one of the mailing lists for volleyball in the Albany/Capital District area. Below is a recent announcement I received from him.

Dear Friends of Volleyball World,

Please mark your calendars for August 11th for this year's King and Queen tournament at Volleyball World. Keep in mind that we always try to schedule our tournament the 2nd Saturday of August.

We will be raising funds for Juvenile Diabetes again this year and our Duanesburg Central School Volleyball program. Our fundraising efforts this year will also include a bottle/can drive for our Duanesburg Girl's Volleyball Team. We are trying to update our net systems and purchase new standards which will help us have more efficient and safer practices during our season now that we have 3 squads in our volleyball program, plus elementary level instruction. So if you have any bottles/cans that you would like to donate to our cause, we would appreciate it. Contact us or one of our players if you have any cans to donate or need us to pick up. You can also bring them to our tournament. We are running a contest for our players also. The girl that donates the most, will be awarded a prize so if you know a player on our team, you might want to donate the cans to her.

We have hopes to have two more sand courts for this year's tournament, depending upon how the weather cooperates for our landscaping efforts.

A registration form is attached with more information or you can get more information from our website at www.volleyballworld.org. Checkout photos and results from past tournaments or look for other upcoming volleyball events in the area.
