Whereas beach volleyball is a sport increasing in popularity and was named an Olympic sport in 1996; and
Whereas girls beach volleyball became an officially-sanctioned varsity sport in the state of Florida in 2022 and Ponte Vedra High School fielded a varsity team that won a district championship despite not having a practice court on campus; and
Whereas there are no public beach volleyball courts in northern St. John's County;
We the undersigned are requesting the installation of 6 permanent beach volleyball courts in or near the Davis Park area.
Although I may not use it being a senior citizen I believe that it would be a great tool for our community to develop athletes to compete in the sport and encourage camaraderie in the community.
