A fitting finish to our second season

A fitting finish to our second season

Just completed our second season of the youth club and really enjoyed working with the new group of players. We saw some fantastic improvement, and had a great time doing it. Had a few more players this season so I wasn’t able to take many photos of the kids in...
2011 Labor Day Tournament

2011 Labor Day Tournament

Despite some imposing clouds and cool air in the morning, we capped off the summer with a successful “week after labor day” tournament. As the skies slowly cleared, the players straggled in – it’s as if those two events were somehow connected. So even with the late start, the general...

Teach the children, well…

At a recent USA Volleyball Beach Tournament I saw some great young players competing at a very high level, but that’s not what stuck with me. What stood out was the complete lack of ball handling skill permitted throughout the day. From taking a free ball with the hands, to...

2012 Club Season Info

After much consideration, it appears the youth club will not be in operation this summer. With a couple players injured, and a few more moving on, we weren’t able to pull together enough players to fill our rosters. We really appreciate everyone who expressed interest and hope to start up again soon. If you have...
Turkey Bowl 2011

Turkey Bowl 2011

Once again we held our annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Bowl at Torrey Pines High School. Several of the crew were out with injuries, sick kids, or a lack of guts (you know who you are), fortunately we still have just enough new guys to keep the game from being a complete embarrassment. And from the...

Even the best get frustrated

Even the best get frustrated

So I was talking about sportsmanship with my daughter and I recalled an AVP match I’d seen WAY back in the 80′s. After a questionable call late in the match leads to a loss, Karch Kiraly pulls down the net in frustration. I’m all for hating to lose…well, maybe he just hates it more than...

Plastique Chihuly

Came across this really cool art project outside the Del Mar Post Office. Del Mar Hills Academy students created these sculptures (inspired by blown glass artist Dale Chihuly) using recycled plastic bottles. Check it out.

Opening Day Tournament 2011

After a rain-out for Memorial Day, we had some serious pent-up demand and mother nature came through for us in spades. For the first time in a while we had ideal conditions – light winds, clear skies and Kwasny broke his hand so he wasn’t in the finals. Thanks again to Brucer for the beer...

CBVA Father’s Day Tournament 2011

Had a great day down at the Catamaran playing in the First Annual Fathers Day Tournament. Thanks to Jim Tuyay for hosting and bringing the jungle juice – I needed it with my back being still completely outta whack. Mia and I did well, lost in the finals to a really good player and son....

Misty May-Treanor Clinic at South Mission

Good times out at South Mission this morning as the girls attended the Misty May-Treanor Beach Volleyball Clinic. It was great to see so many kids (100+) and adults out there learning the game and having fun. Thanks to Misty for hosting the clinic and helping to generate interest in the beach game.
First practice at Dog Beach

First practice at Dog Beach

Great first practice despite the wind and rain, but that’s what beach volleyball is all about – learning how to play in the elements.

From rain to sun and back to rain again

Great first beach volleyball clinic this weekend. Had a beautiful day out at Dog Beach in Del Mar, and plenty of fun. Several competitive beach volleyball games we’re run on the 14′s court, and the young ones got in a few swings as well. Thanks to everyone who came out for clinic No. 3. After...
