Can you believe it? It's July already! It's been several weeks into our CCU sports ministries and we're just getting started. I wanted to give an update on how our Cumberland Volleyball teams are doing.

Some people wonder why people in Cumberland, especially the leaders, are so strict. Why can’t we cuss on the court or why do the leaders want us to come to church? We as leaders don’t want to yell or bench players. We don’t take joy in taking your joy away. We do it because

Standings so far for our Cumberland teams:

Cumberland Basketball Silver Division Challengers: 2-0
Cumberland Basketball Bronze Division Seekers: 2-0
Cumberland Basketball Bronze Division Kenosis: 0-2

Cumberland Volleyball DC1: 4-0
Cumberland Volleyball DC2: 2-2
Cumberland Volleyball DC3: 4-4
Cumberland Volleyball C4: 4-0

Cumberland Softball B Division: 1-0
Cumberland Softball C Divison: 1-1

Off to another stellar start! Continue to support our players and pray for God's blessing in this ministry.

Monday 6/15 will be etched into 21st century Cumberland history as milestone marker to commemorate the first day of competition for the Chinatown CCU Volleyball team. We found enough "old-timers" (but you can hardly call them that anyway) to dust off those gym shoes and knee pads to come out for a summer season of CCU Volleyball. I had some Ben-Gay handy, just in case. You never know. But it was a great night and from what I saw, everyone had a lot of fun and played well together for their first matches of the season. Chinatown's team (designated as C4) is undefeated after one night of exciting volleyball matches. I want to thank the many fans who also came out to support the team. Volleyball doesn't receive as much hype as basketball so any fans who do come out are greatly appreciated. Way to support Cumberland!

However, we can't overlook our Daly City's three teams this year. Looking energetic and organized as ever, they have also improved greatly in the off-season and have added several members to each team from past years. Daly City Campus' DC1, DC2, DC3 will play in the same division as C4, so check the schedule to see these inter-church match ups. Both the DC1 and DC3 teams played exceptionally well and prove to be a force to be reckoned with in CCU Volleyball this year. DC2 will play their first match tomorrow, Wednesday.

All matches are played at Herbert Hoover Middle School in the Sunset district. Cross streets is 14th Ave and Santiago. Matches begin at 6:30pm and I hope to see everyone there! It's gonna be a great summer and I anticipate more exciting news through the season.

I got to say Cumberland vs. Cumberland that is a classic game. Didn’t know that we play each other but to see the DC players and the Chinatown players come together to play is great!!! Hong your two friend… sux. I think I am getting old because I forgot their names but man were they good. This team is good.. I was rallying with you guys this Sunday and make I was kinda worried. Boy was I wrong though.. You all worked together sooo well. I love your team work and man I didn’t know that one of the player close to the net has to look at their team.. Volleyball is sooo Foreign to me hahaha but yup yup. GOOD JOB and keep it up. >__________<
