Tournaments
I spent this afternoon updating as best I could the tournament section with grass tourny's
from around the Northwest. I was only going to put in the Portland/Vancouver stuff but that
amount to about 4-5 tourneys. If you prefer grass then I guess you'll making a few trips
north. Although it looks like there' a few in Tumwater, Olympia and Lacey which if you are
from Vancouver that slices some time off the drive.
I've played a few times in the Sand and I can't deny what a great workout it is but it's
tough mentally to 'adjust' to such a tough surface. Not sure I'll play in any sand tourny's
but I won't rule it out either.

Summer is HERE!!!
For those young enough to take advantage of the great weather AND play VB in it .. I envy you.
I stepped into the sand for the first time in years and I'm still feeling it.

Open Gym Update
Got this email from a local VB playa:
Mt. Scott Park was packed on monday. They have 2 courts, but allow 35 people to sign up
(5 teams of 7). The time has changed to 7-9 (you have 7:30-9:30), as has the price,
which is now $3.75.
I cycled up to Hillside yesterday (thursday), which was a good
workout. The gym was completely empty at 6:45. Was this because it was 99 degrees? The
worker there had never worked a thursday before, so she wasn't sure of the regular
turnout
Summer isn't a great time for indoor VB but if you keep looking around I think the courts and
southwest rec both are good places as well as Mt. Scott. Thx for info!!!

in night but I'd like to see something on Sundays or Thursdays. Honestly what could be better on first Thursdays
in the Pearl- Wine, Art and Volleball.

Cleaning out the Cob Webs
Trying to clean up this website and update all information. I've tried my best to clean up the
links and I'll focus on the Leagues and Tournaments in the next few days. It's a little like
walking into an old house you haven't visited in a while, everything is still there just trying
to remember where it's at.

Long time no see.. and no play 2
Oh dear lord, for some reason I came out of retirement a few months ago because I lost a little weight.
I realize now it was my ego, that thing was about 25lbs... who knew?
As I get round to some of the old stomping grounds again I'll try to give you an updated assessment
of the Open gyms. Right now the courts in Beaverton on Friday night are easily the best time
around. I've been to Marshall on a few night and this comes close due to the selective nature of the
staff. At Marshal Center in Vancouver not all players are selected to play on the top court so this does lead to very competitive play. I was also asked to play on a league there and was very impressed with the level of competition.
Don't be a stranger, if you see me out there and dont recognize me because I'm getting roofed or worse yet limping around please say hi.
