"* news three sports director ?

"* kaleb gillock ?

"* is learning that athletes in osage are taking to the sand./// katie and george ?

"* this was n the works before the pandemic started... but former osage high school volleyball coach ?*- andie olson ?

"* says the timing couldn't have been any more perfect.xxx coaching a few years ago we had a vision that we wanted to start some sand leagues and tournaments.

Our kids were playing a lot of sand but driving to cedar falls and so we were like we want our kids to stay multi?

"* sport kids so how can we help that?

With a land donation from parks and rec.... writing nearly 10?

"*thousand dollars worth of grants.... and a lot of waiting... dreams became a reality for olson.

The original plan was for leagues to benefit both kids and adults... but the coronavirus stepped in the way.

Now ?

"* ara athletes are taking advantage of the new amenity since they can't practice in gyms just yet.

Kids started contacting me can we do some lessons?

Can we start doing some things?

So we talked to the department of health and what can we do?

So six is our highest number we do and then we just started doing lessons.

In a sport that utilizes one ball during game play... how are the players staying safe?

We have three bags of balls typically and when we're one with one set, we wipe it down.

The kids know to grab a bag that's bagged ?

*- that means they're clean.

And yeah we hand sanitize before and after we start so that way we are at least starting fresh and ending fresh.

Olson says kids are coming from several surrounding communities to play... gaining valuable expereince on the sand that will benefit them this fall.

There's only two of you so strategy is so huge and how that translates into your indoor game because it forces you to communicate differently, forces you to think differently look through the net and kind of see where do you want ?

"* who do andie says for those still interested in signing up for summer tournaments... there is still plenty of time to sign up.
