I feel that volleyball is one of the best team sports played. This is because it requires more people to have higher skill levels to score than any other game. It also can not be dominated by just one great player. I am not here to argue the merits of one sport over another but rather let you understand my interest and why would anybody put in and maintain over an acre of Bermuda sod. It is also fun to be a part of an exploding interest in a sport.

My real goal is to create an area that teens can come a play out doors a sport that is fun and develop skills that will apply to life. We are working with Southern Fried Volleyball, www.sfvc.org to help promote awareness of the sport and mutually benefit the adult and youth development of the game. If you want to register for a tournament or check the schedule please kink to them.

We held our first tournament in 2002 with less than an acre of sod. We have expanded our irrigated sod to over an acre, cleaned up the wooded area for shade, and use the other farm resources to assure clean tile restrooms, water, and an atmosphere that is fun for all.

Our first teen only tournament was held in 2004 with 75 girls playing from as far west as Rome, south as Peachtree City and east as Lawrenceville.  While we encourage teens to play with and against adults in all our tournaments this will become a regular part of our offering.

In the summer of 2005 we will have a camp for beginners to intermediate players ages 10- 14. It will be conducted in the evenings 6:30- 8:30 pm for a week in early June. It will be coached by high school players that have been hand picked from the best that the metro area has to offer. Their love of the game, ability to teach skills, helps to assure success and enjoyment for your child. If you are interested please email us and we will add you to our mailing list for camp.

Contact Bill at the farm if there are any questions about volleyball in general in the metro area. He has coached club teams, refereed high school, attended national and regional coaching clinics, supported his daughter in high school and club ball, watched a couple hundred hours of lessons, and has been part of the college recruiting process. What all that really means is that he has a lot of experience that he is willing to share with others. Remember he cuts an acre of sod weekly so a handful of people can slap a white ball over a net. It’s fun to be able to talk to some one that cares. An excellent source of volleyball info. is www.georgiavolleyball.com .
