YMCA
    I heard from a volleyball ref that the Y has vball in the fall.
    http://www.ymcade.org/programs.cfm

hey everybody! I work at Coco Mango restaurant in Lewes, DE and ive just now
joined this group because we finished putting in an olympic-size, sand
Volleyball court at our restaurant which is located accross the street from
dairy queen at lewes beach. I dont have all the details yet but we are planning
to start a league with the teams composed of the other local restaurants. I hope
we will attract other leagues and teams host their games and events. its open
for public use as well during our business hours which are 10:30-10. Coco Mango
is a tiki-style island place with an outdoor patio where dogs are welcome and we
have live music on the weekends which includes Supa on steel drums to a couple
of great local guitar solo-ists(how is that word spelled?) We also serve alcohol
and a simple and delicious caribbeanesce menu with great prices even for the
beach. well anyway im just hoping i can attract some you to come join us on the
sand to have a helluva good time! please feel free to email me
johnh001@... if you have any questions or would like to set up a match
with my fellow co-workers, or whomever for that matter. Hopefully you come by
when im working so i can actually meet all of you who read this, and if i am
working, i would love to buy u a drink and talk about setting up matches! Take
care yall! - John

Hello,

I have been organizing free pickup games of volleyball on a sand court by
Delaware Ave and South Chapel Street in Newark on Saturdays around 12pm. We are
looking for a few more players so we can play on both courts and have some teams
rotating. Age Range is 20-40 so far, but I welcome all ages.

Also, I am interested in learning if anyone plays pickup games that are open to
players during the week in new castle county?

Thanks,
Dan

LOOKING FOR A GREAT PRE-HOLIDAY GIFT?  HOW ABOUT A VOLLEYBALL CLINIC......

Here is a quick reminder that Olympic Gold Medalist Pat Powers will be
doing on December 20-21 @ The International Sports Center in Cherry
Hill, NJ.  Please forward this e-mail to your volley-friends.  Have a
great Holiday Season!

Where: 		 International Sports Center (Cherry Hill, NJ)
When:   		 Saturday & Sunday.  December 20-21 Saturday 9AM-4PM &
Sunday 9AM-2PM
Ages:      		 Girls & Boys ages 12-18 & Adults
Registration fee:         $145
Experience: 	        Novice through advanced.  Players are divided up
on three courts one hour into the event. Generally speaking, we have
one court of 12-14 year olds, one court of 15-16 year olds and one court
                                      of advanced girls, boys and adults.

Why is this clinic the best?  The "over-correction" teaching method
combined with "Survivor" has the advantage of skill development while
you are playing.  These advanced skills are downloaded into the motor
memory through massive repetition while the player is competing in a
non-intimidating environment.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CLINIC

* Learn how to control the ball and power with one simple move when
passing.
* Learn how to use your peripheral vision to set the hitter and not
the ball.
* Learn a proper arm swing and how not to hit where your shoulders are
facing.
* Learn the three critical things we watch when blocking or playing
defense.

******We have about 26 spots left for this event*****************

Attention Coaches, Parents and Athletes,

Tracy Peal, Elite Conditioning Coach, is offering Winter and Spring
Pose Method Jumping clinics for teams, small groups or one-on-one.
The vertical jump is a major component for success in volleyball, as
well as, a determining factor in college recruiting. The Pose Method
will teach athletes how to jump higher while reducing the impact forces
associated with injury. In addition, athletes will learn how to
incorporate blocking and spiking skills, increase reaction speed and
better understand the mechanics necessary to improve quickness and
agility.

Hi , this is Chewey. I have not posted in a long time and hope that this email finds everyone well. Below is some info that maybe of interest to you. Happy Spiking, C.
