Water Volleyball
The Water Volleyball club invites all residents to join us in the pool
(when it opens in April)! We play Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:30am
for about an hour, in the 'west end' of the pool. Once players arrive, we
set up the net and select two teams designed to be balanced (if the first
few games are lopsided, we often move players around). We also rotate
players during the games to allow everyone to serve.
This is a 'drop in' club, so there’s no need to RSVP or worry if you can’t
make a day. We recommend water shoes to protect your feet and help
with your footing (Amazon, Dick’s, Bass Pro, etc.), a hat, sunscreen, etc.
If you’ve never played water volleyball, feel free to come out to try, or
just watch. No special skill is needed. If you’d like more information or
would like to be added to our email list, contact Dan Ketchum
(djketchum@gmail.com).

month from 6pm – 9pm. We have a lively, fun competition to see which
randomly chosen team can score the highest average after playing a set

welcoming new members into our group and hope they will enjoy
