Four students and three instructors from the Loveless Academy
participated in the World Organization of Martial Arts Athletes World
Martial Games XII, held Aug. 19 to 21 in Cardiff, Wales. The
championship consisted of close to 700 competitors from 23 countries.

As Department of Defense Dependents Schools high school volleyball
swings into the 2011 season, the call goes out for referees, experienced
or not, to work the matches. The Kaiserslautern Officials Association,
contracted to officiate for the season, welcomes civilians, military and
dependents to support youth sports, to enjoy travel in Germany and the
Benelux, and to make money while keeping active.

There was a lot on the line on Aug. 6. The Kaiserslautern Pikes and
Frankfurt Universe both came into the Saturday tilt undefeated at 9-0,
and were looking to end the day as Regionalliga Mitte Champions. The two
teams were clearly the class of the league and had clinched promotion
into GFL 2 next season, and it was only fitting that the Regionalliga
Mitte Championship would come down to the very last game of the year. 

Members of the 435th Air Ground Operations Wing participated in its annual sports day Aug. 3 on Pulaski Barracks.

of excitement that comes with Germany
