Parkside Volleyball: Exciting Huntley pastime
By Jill Wenzloff
Editor
For the better part ofthe summer, Parkside Tap has hosted a sand volleyball league of local teams.
Teams play under the lights on Mon., Tues., and Wed. nights, competingagainst teams made up of local businesses and groups of friends.
"It's just something that's really fim for the adults in Huntley to do," said Cindy McDonald, owner (with husband Mark) ofthe Parkside Tap. This season, 11 teams participated in the league, including teams sponsored by Huntley Travel,
H.S. Crocker, Clasens, Parkside, PR. Parrot's, Custom Graphics, Gary Weiss Landscaping, and Woodstock Sanitary. Other independent teams include the "Fruitcakes," "Road Dogs," and "Caped Crasaders."
Spectators watching the games quickly get the feeling that many team members are not playing to win - they're just having a good time. "We really enjoy playing here," said Sharon Andersonof theH. S. Crocker team, who affectionately call themselves "Half-Crocked," due to their infrequent wins.
"We're the better-looking, less competitive team," she said.
Team captain "Wild Wayne" came up with a politically-correct description of his team ~ "We're 'wiimingly-challenged!'" he said.
Anyone can watch the games, which take place behind Parkside Tap, located on Main St. across from the square. Teams begin play around 6:30 and end at 9:30.
For interested volleyball players, Parkside is sponsoring a 4- Man Slam voleyball tournament on Saturday, Aug. 12, for men and women. The team fee is $50, with cash-back prizes and a free pitcher ofbeer. Teams can call 669-84% to pre-register.
