The environment is fun, exciting, happy and a great way to escape to a warmer tropical climate without needing a flight or passports!  We are busy, so remember there is complimentary valet parking many of the nights and there is an overflow lot only a 60 second walk away as well, this is located in the lot on the South side of the lake (behind and south of the Family Fare store). It is lit up and has been cleared out for another parking alternative.

Hi All Beach Volleyball enthusiasts!Wow, it is hard to believe the kids are back to school and fall is right around the corner.  That means its time to wrap up beach volleyball season :(
2014 was a great year, our biggest yet and we really had great weather all year long.  Only a couple of nights of rain and some cold weather back in Spring, but that was it.

Leagues
Monday – Thursday leagues for our 2nd session of leagues are wrapping up with their playoff tournament this week or next with the Friday & Sunday leagues wrapping up in 2 weeks.  Good luck in the playoffs for final bragging rights of your league and to win that championship tshirt and get your team picture on the website!

So what’s left?

• We close the Saturday event schedule this Saturday (9/6) with a competitive 2’s tournament for our top players all around Michigan (or wherever!).  We will have local beach pros and other top talent come close the summer down with a final event to win some prize $$ and put on a show.  We will have 2 divisions, one for Men and one for Women.  This is for A & AA players only and will be combined, so young up and coming players can get some great experience playing against high quality teams.  I encourage you to come by and watch some high level beach volleyball being played Saturday at The Score.  Email here to register.
