July 6, 2006 - The 2006
Ontario Summer Games will be held in Ottawa from Wednesday, August
9 to Saturday, August 12. The volleyball competition in the
Games will consist of both beach and indoor volleyball. The
female and male beach volleyball competitions will be for the 18U age
category (athletes born in 1988 or later) and be staged at Mooney's
Bay Beach in Mooney's Bay Park. The female and male indoor
volleyball competitions will be staged as part of the 16U Athlete
Development Program (athletes born in 1990 or later) and be staged
at Montpetit Hall at the University of Ottawa.
Region 6 will be represented by two female and three male teams (2
player teams) in the beach volleyball competition. As well,
Region 6 will also have one female and one male team (10 player teams)
in the indoor volleyball competition.
Although the athletes for the Region 6
teams have already been selected, there are lots of other
opportunities for the Region 6 volleyball community to get involved.
In this regard, I am asking all Region 6 clubs to circulate this call
for volunteers to support the staging of the above-noted volleyball
competitions.
If anyone is interested in volunteering, please go to the Games
website at
www.2006ontariosummergames.ca and
follow the online Volunteer Application process. When you fill
out your application, clearly indicate the days/times that you are
available to volunteer and whether or not you would prefer to
volunteer at the beach volleyball or indoor volleyball venues or
both. Also, please indicate if you are part of a bigger group
that is volunteering (e.g. your club).
We would like to have each Region 6 club contribute to the volunteer
requirements for the volleyball competitions in some manner, so that
we can put on a first-class event for all the volleyball participants
coming to Ottawa in August.
Thank you for your support!
Bob O'Doherty
President
Region 6 Volleyball
