The teams in the volleyballcourt are waiting nervously until Wednesday, when they find out who got the plum championship assignments on Saturday and Sunday.
The grounds include a formal sunken garden that the family used as a volleyballcourt when their children were young, a carriage house that doubles as a game room and a gazebo.
