As another spring volleyball season winds down in the Cottonwood Recreation Center, Jack Teel can’t help but notice the smaller numbers.
“We’re actually down a little bit in our B League teams,” said Teel, city recreation coordinator of sports and special events. “Older guys are retiring; we’re not getting an influx of younger kids.”
Just four B League teams and seven A League teams are competing this year for bragging rights atop the coed volleyball spring recreation league, which will conclude Thursday, April 16.
“The A League is going to be your more competitive league, where players go out to win,” Teel explained. “The B League is more recreational, where players go out just to have fun.
“There are usually six or seven recreational teams and nine or 10 competitive teams.”
