A volleyball team of their own

The face of volleyball in the U.S. might be Misty May Treanor and Kerri Walsh, the gold medal winning beach volleyball team, but yes, guys play volleyball, too.

Perhaps lost in the recent fiscal year 2010 budget presentation made by Wellesley school superintendent Bella Wong before the school committee was a proposal to add a Wellesley High boys volleyball team (her plan also included a proposed increase in athletic user fees).

Of course, the volleyball team plan could still get spiked. After all, Wong is hoping for a 4.72% budget increase (growing enrollment and other factors are behind that) even though Wellesley’s finance director recently warned that the town’s overall finances are “$3 million out of balance…” in light of the tough economy, projected lower state aid, etc.
