Volunteer proposes fall travel volleyball league for grades 5–8; gym space a constraint
Summary
Glenn Mezzatesta proposed a fall girls recreational travel volleyball league for grades 5–8 with estimated team costs of $500–$800; the plan hinges on limited gym availability, per Dr. Vespignani, and Matt Florio offered to check Monday night availability.
Glenn Mezzatesta proposed a fall recreational travel volleyball league for girls in grades 5–8 that would run from mid-September through mid-November with two divisions (grades 5/6 and 7/8) and approximately 8–10 matches per team.
Mezzatesta estimated team costs of $500–$800 and said he would handle scheduling and provide certified referees. The principal constraint noted in the minutes is gym availability; Dr. Vespignani advised gym time is extremely limited at that time of year, and Mezzatesta asked the board to help identify suitable gym space. Commissioner Matt Florio said he could likely work Monday nights during travel team practice and would assess whether the travel team schedules would allow a volleyball program.
The board did not vote on sponsorship or scheduling; next steps include confirming gym availability and coordinating with travel-team needs before committing to a fall season.
