YMCA adult/youth program coordinator Leanne Witt says the game is popular because while fit- ness and volleyball skills are called for, it’s a fun and relaxing time out for participants. “It’s great fun. People know its recreational so you get all different skill levels," says Witt, 27, who’s a Earlier this week, neighboring Blakelock High School had its co-ed recreation classes give it a whirl for three days. Needless to say the kids (and teachers Ken Ross and Anne Buck) had no trouble getting into the spirit of things. “It’s pretty neat being out there on a sandy court,” said Lindsay Soikie, 16. “We’re just having a ball. This reminds me of playing volley- ball in Florida on our vacation. It brings back some memories.” Ross says beach volleyball is an ideal way to end the school year. “It’s the last week of school and we wanted to end it on a high note for the kids,” Ross said. “The kids are out in the sun and fresh air and the tunes are going...” or a minute there, one might have thought he or she was on Malibu Beach in California. Blazing sun, clear blue skies, a music box pounding out AC/DC’s Highway to Hell, soft sand flying around and teenagers in stylish T- shirts, shorts and caps just having a blast knocking a volleyball back and forth over the net. Hold on, though. Instead of the Pacific Ocean beckoning, it’s Rebecca St. in Oakviile that provides the dose of reality. Still, the three sandy courts at the Oakville YMCA are set in far enough to allow the escape from suburbia for a couple of hours or so. Starting pitcher Blair Stewart lasted just three innings, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits, including two homers and five walks.

Oakville White Sox dug themselves too deep a hole in their senior Central Ontario Baseball Association game against Brampton Twins, Monday. After falling behind 13-3 in the seventh inning, the White Sox rallied but still dropped a 13-11 decision to see their record fall to 5-5.

If you’re hav- ing fun at it it’s that much better. In keeping with the fun aspect, pick-up games are offered on Wednesday nights and the courts are available to both YMCA members and the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for social get-togethers or weekend parties. In addition, there will be a weekend tournament held in August. Witt says" a good core of the sum- mer players come from the YMCA’s eight-team winter adult recreational league that’s held in various local schools. Although the league has already started, new players can join at a pro- rated fee based on initial registration of $80. “We were looking at the summer program in Oakville and we saw this as an opportunity to get more com- munity involvement," Witt explained. Witt adds beach volleyball is,“a form of active living.” ' “We want to get people out and have fun,” Witt said. Beach volleyball is similar to the standard indoor game. The court’s dimensions are the same and the rules are identical. But the number of players per side can vary. Four-on four is popular and the two-on-two variety is booming because of television exposure of tournaments in Florida and California. For more information, call 845- 3417.
