Spring 2011 Week 3 Newsletter

DC Beach Volleyballers,

Will it rain?  Will it shine?  These are the questions that we ponder every second as we stare out the window, study weather forecasts, refresh the Doppler radar, and gaze into tea leaves.  Our resident meteorologists will determine at 4:00PM tomorrow (Wednesday, 5/18) whether games will continue as scheduled and whether field conditions will permit us to play on the sand courts.  DCSSC Weather Policy boils down to this: so long as its not raining and so long as field conditions are playable, then we shall play.


Games Schedule

Assuming that games are still on, then here's the schedule for tomorrow:

6:15 PM Games
Court 4 ... Cognito Ergo Boom (formerly Team S) v. White Men Can't Bump (Ref: Caudle)
Court 5 ... Bumpin' Ain't Easy v. Balls (Ref: Cargo)
Court 6 ... Monstars v. How I Set Your Mother (Ref: Volunteer)

7:15PM Games
Court 4 ... Service My Balls (formerly Team T) v. ACP (Ref: Caudle)
Court 5 ... Practice Safe Sets v. Karch Kariily's Proteges (Ref: Cargo)
Court 6 ... The Love Bumps v. Sets on the Beach (Ref: Elliot)


Call for Volunteer Scorekeepers

Are you interested in helping out as a score keeper?  Are you interested in free beer?  DC Beach Volleyball needs your help.  Help us keep score for one game and we'll give you a $20 gift certificate to our sponsor bar at 19th (1900 Eye St. NW).
