Omaha Sports Club Volleyball News

The OSC volleyball mission statement says that the club strives to create a fun atmosphere where players can make new friends, enjoy old friends, and have a great time playing volleyball year-round. Those words say a great deal and should be remembered every time you prepare to play OSC volleyball. Have fun—it is a game you chose to play. Be friendly and you will make it fun for others. Lastly, take the time to get to know the players on your team and those you are playing against. You never know, you might create a long-lasting friendship. Also, get involved in the operations of our leagues. Help to create and sustain the best leagues around.
At this time, I want to congratulate all of the winning spring session teams; their pictures and the names of their players are on this and the following page. If some pictures are missing, we apologize in advance. At the time this article was written, some leagues still have not finished their seasons. The pictures of those winning teams will be printed in next month’s Sportscaster.

The spring end-of-season party was well attended and enjoyed by all (see the pictures, which follow those of the winners). Thanks to Dana and his fantastic staff at Johnny Sortino’s Pizza Parlor. Thanks too to Judy Anderson who once again reached out to our community for some awesome prizes that some lucky players were fortunate to win. Great job, Judy; thanks so very much.

Lastly, I want to thank Nancy Thurston for volunteering to help Jennifer Lange with referee duties this summer. Our club continues to run because of members like Nancy who lend a hand when needed. Please remember that volunteers run our club, and it may not survive if we continue to rely on same few people to run all of our activities all of the time. If you would like to volunteer to help with either our leagues or the club, call or write me today.

Best wishes to each and every one of you for a happy and safe summer season.
