Outdoor Volleyball Court:

The beach sand volleyball court located in the "backyard" is available for use by students and college personnel. The net is up from May through early November (weather permitting). Volleyballs are located in pails (which can also be used to store those pesky rocks that appear on the court from time to time) at the court site. Please feel free to make use of this "fun facility." A more formal coed volleyball league is in place during the fall semester for those students, faculty, administrators, and staff who have an interest in putting teams together for some friendly competition.
