PIC gears up for spring volleyball
It’s time for teams of beachside bombers and wannabe wailers to don the shorts and hit the sand court behind the Pacific Islands Club to take part in the 7th Annual Miller Lite Coed Four Person Volleyball League.
After three months of rest and relaxation, the top beach combers are on notice that the digs and sideout tattoos are on the way, and in the tradition of league’s past, teams will be formed this Tuesday, Sept. 27 during the pre-season banquet draft at the PIC at 6pm.
Before the first serve crosses the net, all players interested must be present or have signed up and paid prior to opening night.
The four games consisting of three sets up to 11-points apiece will be played each night on Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 5pm and 10pm. Each seven member team will field four players at a time, with one bumper, setter, or spiker being a female.
According to PIC Sports, Entertainment, and Activities director Jon Cramer, the length of the season will depend on the number of teams entered into the league this Thursday, but he said that he expects it will last roughly eight weeks.
The cost to participate in the season is $25 per person, and only $20 for members of the Northern Marianas Islands Volleyball Association. Participants would also receive the added benefits of $10 PIC Waterpark passes throughout the season, a league T-shirt, and a discount on Pacific Trading Co. products at PIC anytime while league is in progress.
Though the details are yet to be released, players can come to the PIC on designated evenings for practice.
