General public invited to nude volleyball tournament

    EAST GWILLIMBURY, ON, June 23 /CNW/ - Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is
inviting the general public to participate in the 3rd annual Greater Toronto
Naturist Volleyball Tournament. (July 1st to 5th) While participants do not
have to be naturists/nudists to play, they must play nude. Whether that will
put them at a disadvantage is yet to be determined.
    Nudity in sports is a tradition that goes back thousands of years to the
first Olympics. The Greek root of "gymnasium" is gymnos which means "nude".
When liberated of clothing, the body is free to perform to its natural
maximum.
    Volleyball and naturism/nudism is almost a cliché. But it is true that
the sport has been incredibly popular within the naturist/nudist community and
its roots can be traced back to 1927 in France.
    Volleyball is just one of the many draws. In addition to Bare Oaks' many
amenities, there will be a live band, campfires, and the restaurant will be
open with a special event liquor license for the entire event. For families,
there will be organized children's activities during the day.
