All Club Event a Success!

Thanks to all who came out to check out our facility during the All Club Event last weekend!  It was definitely a great time and fun to see you all back as we start to gear up for the upcoming club season!  Here are a few pictures of the courts and weight room.

Check out the Net System!


The lines have dried enough to play on and the grouted sleeves have cured enough to load up.  Last night we were able to set up the net systems for the first time.  What you see in these pictures are the 3 side by side practice courts.  Hope you are all ready for some volleyball!

Lines are painted!

We painted the lines out on the court flooring today.  It really does sharpen up the playing area.  Now we have to stay off the lines for the next 48 hours till they dry.

Sleeves Installed!

Ok.  I'll be honest, it was no picnic installing the sleeves.  It took almost 30 labor hours spent over 3 days for a 2-man crew to install 12 sleeves out at the facility.  Didn't think it would be that difficult, but first we had to core drill through the facility flooring - not too difficult, but then we had to dig out a 2' diameter hole, 14-inches deep underneath the concrete surface through that 6-inch hole we just core-drilled.  After that we had to mix up about 3 bags of non-shrink grout for each of those holes and then have the expertise to set the sleeve plumb and on center with our court flooring.  Really, it was more difficult than it sounds. 

Special thanks to Kim Nakamura for his help and assistance with getting us through this part of the start-up improvements.  Also big thanks to perenial parent volunteer Dan Daley for his volunteering support through this phase.  Twelve sleeves down...only (1) to go!     

Senoh Uprights and Net Equipment arrived last week.

The Senoh brand uprights and net system arrived at the facility lst week.  If you've ever been in the market to buy net systems then you know that the Senoh volleyball system is pretty much top of the line!  We went with a very versatile upright system that is guaranteed to last longer than the facility.  In the end we paid a little more but as the old saying goes.. "you get what you pay for".  Now, on to the hard part..installation of the sleeves!
