Where is Wasatch Beach?

The Sports Mall in Murray has, for many years, maintained one of the best sand volleyball courts around. I started playing there in the early 90’s when, as a member of the club, I discovered a handful of serious players, including other California ex-pats.

The club has always been responsive to requests from the v-ball players to add or churn the sand, or to invest in new lines and net. So it wasn’t out of character for Brent Cook, General Manager of The Sports Mall, to lend a receptive ear when Mike Manczuk approached him about building more courts to support our plans for Wasatch Beach Volleyball. Brent is pictured here playing some obscure sport that involves a racquet, four walls and no sand.

Brent quickly saw the potential and realized that six volleyball courts constituted a far more productive use of the underutilized grassy area inside the running track. Mike worked with Brent and Brian Laird, Head of Maintenance, to develop a plan for the courts – one that would also accommodate active spectators, sponsors, and lots of other fun stuff that we have in mind. You will have to come out and participate in WBV events to see what I mean by that.
