The City of Northglenn was visited by 134 first and second graders as they toured City facilities including City Hall, the Northglenn Recreation Center, Police Department, and the Municipal Court. The children had a hands on tour of the North Metro Fire trucks, Northglenn ambulances, sanitation equipment, street sweeper, park maintenance equipment, water trucks, and a lift truck.
At the end of the tour the kids participated in a community service project by cleaning up the E. B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park. It was a day full of learning and fun!

In 2008 we are estimating 36 teams of 8-12 players (on 8 courts) playing in a "Round Robin" tournament, recreational format, with single elimination play-offs. Seven teams play each other on one net for a total of 6 matches. Round robin and play-off matches consist of one game to 15 points or 20 minutes, whichever comes first.
