We are co-ed volleyball
team and we know how to have fun! Sponsored by Zion Lutheran Church, the Blue Smashers play in the Hummelstown Area
Mixed Fellowship Volleyball
League. 2012 marks our 17 th year of participation in the league!
Schedule A
three-game match is played on Thursday evenings May through August at 6:30 PM.
Usually several more unofficial games round out the evening to ensure we have a good
workout and to maximize enjoyment of just playing as much volleyball as possible before sundown. The season culminates in a year-end tournament on
an August Sunday afternoon at St John's Church in Hoernerstown. Check out the schedule for all
dates.

Play Each
match is begun with prayer, so that our play is grounded in fellowship and competition
- inventions of the Lord God Almighty for which we give thanksgiving and
praise. Amen! Games are played to 25 points using the "rally" scoring system. Spiking is permitted
(not that we've so far mastered that skill), while net fouls and carrying are often
enforced.
Rules The rules of the game - guiding play for over 15 years - have been compiled by the league coordinators in conjunction with the captains.

Safety It is the league's firm belief that God intends for us to play a
competitive match while respecting the various skills and physical capabilities of
the players. Fun and safety are both of paramount importance, and yet are not mutually
exclusive!
