The Lakeland Beach Volleyball Club now has a new and improved place to play and host beach volleyball tournaments.

Until January 2009, the Lakeland Beach Volleyball Club was little more than just a group of guys and a couple girls that got together on the weekends to play sand volleyball. But in January 2009, Off the Wall Adventures finished adding a second sand volleyball court, so our group now has a great place to play on Shepherd Road in Lakeland, FL. The Lakeland Volleyball Club uses the courts to host sand volleyball tournaments.

The project of adding the second court was completed in only 2 days of work. Seven of our regulars showed up and worked for about 10 hours on saturday to spread the 6 inches of sand across the new 72' x 76' lot as the front-end loader brought in each load. But before this could happen, the lot was excavated on the previous wednesday, removing the dirt to make room for the sand.

The new sand that was brought in is white and powdery like Clearwater beach, which is a lot nicer than the larger-grain sand that was on the old court.

Our regulars can't thank Off the Wall Adventures enough for adding the second volleyball court. It's nice to have 2 courts playing at the same time.
