RBVL Playoff Extravaganza at Riis Park
By Joe McGivney
8/18/17
On
Saturday, volleyballs flew all day on the
sands of Riis Park as contestant’s fought
for the fabled winner’s sweatshirts in the
Rockaway Beach Volleyball League playoffs.
Rain fell through the night, stopping
around 9 AM and the skies were gray and
cloudy with no hint of a breeze anywhere.
Beachgoers groaned; volleyball
players cheered.
The conditions were perfect and
produced the highest levels of play
throughout all ten divisions.
And
no one was sent home with 3rd
degree foot burns like in 2016.
Ten different division champions were
crowned by day’s end and the mood was both
festive and bittersweet as the 2017 season
ended and the joy of another terrific year
was offset by the sadness that many friends
would go their separate ways over the next
10 months, not seeing each other quite as
regularly anymore.
More than a few people were weepy!
