They dominated during league
play, and it came as no surprise
when the CFK/IDF women’s
volleyball team dominated the
Hospital squad in the final match
of the Women’s Volleyball Base
Championship Tournament.
Up two games to nothing in the
best of five match, CFK/IDF
looked confident coming into the
third and final game. On the
other hand, the Hospital women,
having lost 15-1 and 15-0 in then-
first two games, seemed content
just to score two points in then-
third game. Two points stretched
to a 12-3 lead and it looked as
though the Hospital women might
stage a comeback. However, after
a time out and some quick strat-
egy, CFK/IDF w as able to squelch
the uprising and coast to a 15-12
victory.
“They have a very strong
team,” said Hospital’s coach,
Loretta Castro. “You have to
give the credit to all their hitters.”
Four teams participated in the
four-day, double-elimination
tournament held last week. The
High School team lost two
straight matches and was the first
to bow out of the tournament.
The NAVFAC women played
three matches before getting
knocked out.
The women’s volleyball league
was the first of three volleyball
leagues at Naval Air Station,
Keflavfk, to wrap up its season.
The men’s and co-ed leagues hold
their championship tournaments
this weekend at the base gym.
Get ready...get set... go Navy sports programs
How does a sailor get Navy sponsorship
for competition in sports on a national and
sometimes international level? The Bureau
of Personnel (BuPers) Navy Sports and Fit-
ness Office (Pers-651E) manages the All-
Navy sports program. The All-Navy teams
compete against some of the most tal-
ented amateurs in the United States.
The first requirement for
competition at the national
level is extraordinary talent and
skill in a sport. From thou-
sands of applications received
by BuPers, only about 600
athletes qualify enough for this
level of competition. Of these
600 athletes, only a handful
will go on to compete against
other world-class athletes in
international events.
The second and third requirements for an
athlete to be on an All-Navy team are con-
tinuous active-duty service for at least 90
days prior to application,
and a letter of endorse-
7t\ mentfromthesailor’s
commanding
officer. Applications must be received by
Pers-651E no later than 30 calendar days
before the start of the training camp of the
sport applied for.
BuPers publishes the training camp and
sports schedule each year; and information
about the All-Navy program is available from
BuPers. Call DSN 286-6492 or (703) 746-
6492, or contact the Morale, Welfare and
Recreation Athletic Director at ext. 4588.
Future 1993 training camps and subse-
quent competitions include both men’s and
women’s softball, golf and soccer.
Remember, even if you’re not a superstar,
there are hundreds of programs at the com-,
mand or base level that are lots of fun, help
keep you physically fit and provide an outlet
for stress and tension.
