Team Spike DMC Takes to the Beach

With the weather in Chicago finally breaking and summer now in full swing, several DMC engineers have recently joined forces to form a beach volleyball team, Spike DMC.  While DMC has had several company teams in soccer and other sports leagues in the past, and participated in an indoor sand volleyball league last fall, this is the first time DMC has made an appearance on a beach volleyball court.

Spike DMC is participating in the coed intermediate 6's volleyball league on Tuesday evenings at the South group of courts on North Avenue Beach.  The games take place on Tuesday evenings starting at either 6:30pm or 7:30pm - so if you're on a bike ride or run along the lakeshore path, or just happen to be in the Lincoln Park area, stop by to see how DMC is faring against the competition!

The "B" marker in the map below identifies where Spike DMC will be bumping, setting, and spiking their way to victory every Tuesday:

The DMC engineers who are hitting the sand as part of Spike DMC are:

• Kristie Simon Shea
• Nick Shea
• Dan Freve
• Jason Mayes
• John Sullivan
• Jesse Batsche

Spike DMC's first game of the season took place last Tuesday, and the team emerged victorioius, winning 2 of the 3 games in the match.
