Thursday: A bonus week has been added for 6:30 and 7:30. 8:30 is playing week #8. "Thirty eight years of fun" shirts are in. Thanks, Mike
A volleyball/four square or crossnet has been added for your enjoyment. There are several videos out there on how to play. Have fun!
Corn hole is now available. The lights are in. Have some fun!
Last call for alcohol is 11:30. We want to be out of here by midnight as the staff have real jobs they need to attend to. As for me, I need to get home and throw a Frisbee for Leo before I sleep. Thanks, Mike and staff
If the sand is hot or cold you will be glad you ordered some sand socks. I suggest trying Ted at VBGear.com (link to footwear, sand socks are at bottom of his page) in Marion, Iowa.
Again this year we are relaxing the Co-Ed rule. You can now play with 3 guys and 2 girls.
If you cannot make your match please call 255-9004 after noon. Thanks
The Sands is a laid back, fun place to play. As one of the nation's largest volleyball complexes with twenty-two courts we are able to offer all levels of play at fixed times that you choose. The clubhouse has a full service bar complete with cocktail freezers (only ones in town?). There are sunny patios with palm trees and covered patios with fans and heaters. The atmosphere is casual and friendly. Registration deadline for 1st session was Wednesday, April 24th. Follow the information link for league descriptions and volleyball forms There is a second session that starts mid-July. Get out and have some fun this summer!
First Session Availability. All courts are being used all days and all times. Thanks for playing!
Second Session We are using all courts at all times. Thanks for a great second half!

Ragin' Bajan (Barbados): mango, passion fruit, sweet & sour, dark rum, blue Curacao and dash of bitters. Pain Killer (Virgin Islands): orange, pineapple, coconut rum, dark rum and dash of nutmeg. Melty Cure: 16 oz cup with ice, Pain Killer and 7up.
Heat Advisory: Drink plenty of water throughout the day then come play. Wear something that can get wet; the stand-up showers are great if you are hot and sandy. It's going to be a good night for sand socks.
