Hi, Karl.

For other events, I do have one single "* Volleyball" heading

Unfortunately in the agenda view, both entries are visualized
the same way. This is causing issues in certain cases.
For example, when I see an event on my agenda and I know that I
don't have time for it, I usually cancel the event right away in
my agenda.
However, when this time-stamp occured only in the body of a
heading (method B), cancelling does cancel *all* occurrences.
For example when I cancel "Volleyball" on the agenda of
2014-09-06, I'd cancel also 2014-08-30 (in the past) and
2014-09-13 (in the future).
And much worse: I do not notice my error.
There is a certain issue with this: how to determine whether or
not a time-stamp is the only one or if it is mentioned in the
heading itself.
I use several time stamps as well, but I use
org-agenda-follow-mode by default (see the variable
`org-agenda-start-with-follow-mode') so I can see the entry with
its multiple entries before archiving or killing it.
Is there a clever way to differ the two methods so that we are
able to come up with different visualizations?
In the case of something like Volleyball, perhaps you might want
to look at habits: (info "(org) Tracking your habits")
Another option is to create subheadlines for each activity, and
avoid multiple timestamps.
