League’s numbers not spiking at rec

The Cottonwood Recreation Center is running a co-ed volleyball league. Jose Gonzalez of team AGM swats the ball back over the net.

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.”
