Playing Volleyball for a good cause

The WILLOWDALE STEEPLECHASE GROUNDS were the site this past weekend where this author dusted of his grass volleyball skills for a full day playing 4's. The best result was there was no trip to the emergency room. That is victory in itself. It was nice to see a tournament for a good cause - this was he 17th Annual Ball Hog Volleyball Tournament & Family Picnic - this benefit event continues to support the Child Abuse Prevention and Youth Programs of the Turks Head Exchange Club of West Chester. The combination of competitive play, picnic atmosphere and beautiful scenery makes this tournament one of the most unique in
the country. We had a lot of fun, good competition, and a beautiful day. One side note you as a player did not go hungry because the tournament provided the "picnic" - all the pulled pork, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob and watermelon we could eat. The site was the steeplechase grounds near Landalf Pa. There turned out to be more than 30 nets. With 4 or 5 teams on each net. That is a lot of volleyball for one day. Skill levels ranged from recreational 6 people per side, to just below professional (AA) using 4 people per side (same size court). . Form is good here. There were folks from a wide range of backgrounds all brought together in the name of fun and sport.
