+ Summer volleyball program underway

The 2013 summer volleyball program started this week at the Nova Community Center and is held Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The program was originally scheduled to take place 6:15-8 p.m., but due to the overwhelming number of participants, players were split into a 5:30 p.m. group and a 7 p.m. group.

Normally, the summer program consists of approximately 20-25 players. Currently, there are about 60 players, ranging in age from 7-19.
