Five Things Happening This Week

Here's a look at what's on the calendar for this week in Barnegat:

• The Stafford Township Youth Volleyball league is offering registrations for girls in grades 5 through 12. Once-a-week practices start around the first week of March and games, played Friday nights and/or Saturday mornings, will start in mid-March and end the last week of May.
