Thanks all of you who came to the acvb 2007 tournament
at Cleveland, OH, which was going very well and hope
everyone had a great day of enjoy. We were so glad to
see the older generation of vb fans who are still
active on vb court in their 40's and 50's; we are more
excited to see many young vb players in 20's and lower
teenage playing so good for passing our vb sport
