Volleyball: A growing sport

By DAVE STRAUB Staff Writer Developing an 18-team volleyball league in two years is no ordinary feat. However, extraordinary things happen when there is a need. As for New Paris, there was a need for a volleyball league That’s when Jean Zollinger volunteered to start one. Last year, she coordinated an eightteam field, “playing it by year.’’ However, the results were good enough for the league to continue. ’Now, the field is growing competitively. And Zollinger would

like the league to expand. “We can handle as many as 24 teams now,” she said. “I’m really glad to see that it’s growing.” Reasons for growth are no mystery. Volleyball is a common coed sport where men and women mix and enjoy friendly competition. “It’s a popular sport,” Zollinger said. “It’s the type of sport that everyone can do, have a good time and keep in shape. Now, many people are taking it seriously.” Therefore, organization is necessary to stagger team schedules. For instance, 10 teams play on Monday nights while eight teams compete on Wednes-

day nights. The first series of games start at 6 p.m. In addition, there are three grass courts, which are located next to the InBetween and the Parmore golf course. Zollinger recognizes Bill Tarman’s contributions to the league since he owns the land which facilitates the courts as well as the nets. He also paints the court lines for each night. “At the beginning, it took a lot of time getting things together for the league,” Zolinger said. “I made a lot of phone calls to get teams interested as well as scheduling games. Once that part was done, my work has been tut in half.’* Presently, Zollinger focuses on ironing out schedule conflicts since the groundwork for the league has been done. “Starting this league is the kind of thing where if I wouldn’t have done it,

it would have never got done since no one else was really willing to organize it,” she said. “But, there was a need.” Teams from surrounding towns saw the need. “We have teams coming from Milford, Nappanee, Millersburg, Goshen, Elkhart and New Paris,” Zollinger added. “And I’m looking for new teams for next year.” Yet, this year is the main concern since a post season tourney is on the agenda. The season lasts 12 weeks and team trophies are awarded to ones with the best league record and the tournament winner. In addition, the league consists of persons 18 and over. “Not only is this away for people to keep in shape, the social benefits are also good since the league brings a lot of young people together,” Zollinger said.

Novice events are open to any skiers and advanced skiers may enter the Fun Tournament for a local ski club. Team scoring will be for Dewart, Tippecanoe, Webster Ski Bees and Wawasee skiers. All entries must be sent to Peggy Bucher at r 5, box 310, Syracuse, Ind., 46567. Phone: 658-9305 for further information.

Spencer used a 9 iron for his ace shot which was witnessed by Lloyd Wood. The ace stroke was the fourth hole-in-one since new owners, John and Elaine Wise, purchased the course in July. Spencer toured the Big Boulder layout in 43 strokes. Sunday Mixed League to meet The Sunday Night Mixed League at Syracuse will have its organizational meeting Sunday, Aug. 18,6 p.m. at Wawasee Bowl.

Any one having pictures is asked to loan them for use in these publications and to take them to the library.
