In July, Piedmont hosted the third installment of the Chair Volleyball Tournament with Burbank Senior Artists Colony, organized by EngAGE Program Director Arnold and long time Team Coach Jack.

The afternoon began with some mixed team warm-ups with players from both the Burbank team (green shirts) and Piedmont team (purple shirts).

At 2 p.m. sharp, Piedmont Program Director Arnold opened the games and welcomed all participants and guests. Visiting Burbank team coach Dawn said a few words, and coach Jack explained the rules. A coin toss determined which team started on which side, and the games began!

After four very exciting rounds, the Burbank team won this third tournament 3 to 1. Congratulations to team BSAC!

At the conclusion of the official games, a few audience members then joined some players to play a few more friendly mixed team games while Piedmont volunteers prepared delicious food provided by EngAGE.

Thanks to Piedmont residents Helena and Nicholas for providing a garden tour for the BSAC visitors.

And thanks to all the Piedmont volunteers who helped with serving the food and the cleanup afterwards. You are a huge reason why these events run so smoothly.

Thank you also to coach Jack for keeping the games organized and fair.

And, of course, a big thank you to all the Piedmont and Burbank players and their cheerleading teams for being such good sports and an enthusiastic audience. These kinds of friendly competitions foster friendships that go beyond competitiveness. Everyone had a great time!
