CRUCIAL DETAILS

RSVP is mandatory to secure you spot.
No RSVP -> no spot for you. Read below for "No spot".
All skill levels are welcome.
Teams (based on skill level) will be determined during the warm-up exercises in the 1st hour. If you miss out on this, you will be allocated beginner level.
During mixed play (when we have advanced and beginners on the same court) hard serving and spiking is not allowed!
If you meetup name is not in English, this interferes when we print out the list of players for the day. I urge you to either a. write your name in English; b. add an English version to it; or c. when you RSVP, type your name in English. If you don't do this, you will be moved to the "Not Going" list.
There is no permanent net/court set up at the park. We set it up at the start of each event, so don't expect to see the court when you arrive. Just be at the meeting spot ready to help set-up.
If you are not willing to help set up and/or pack up the net, this group is not for you.

Arriving late: Let me know otherwise your spot may be given away.

Volleyball is a team sport and as such, we need a team effort to carry the equipment from the carpark to the "spot" and then set-up. After the game, we need a team effort to pack up the equipment and to carry it back to the car. If you are not prepared to help, please do not join us. We only want team players, not selfish people.

Waitlists: If your name is on the Waitlist, you do NOT have a spot. A spot may become available to you up until midday (even later) on the day of the event. Waitlists/allocated spots are now discretionary and not in order of response. This is to assist running the event as smoothly as possible for the organiser and the players & also to reward loyalty (members and regular players and those who turn up on time).

No-shows: No shows are disrespectful towards the organiser and the other players (especially those on the waitlist) and will now be given 2 chances/warnings and banned on their 3rd "no-show". This includes yourself and any +1 guests you have reserved a spot for.

To avoid a no-show, make sure you update your RSVP before 9am of the morning of the meetup (i.e. Sunday morning 9am).

This also applies to those on the Waitlist. If you are on the waitlist, there is a chance you will be moved to the "Going" list, so if you will no longer attend, ensure you change your RSVP to "Not going" by 9am (day of event).

Questions: If you have any questions, please ask.
Note that the organiser(s) may be busy in the hours leading up to the event, so if you have any questions, please ask them early enough.
Note that if your question has been addressed in this description and you simply have not bothered to read it, you may not get a response. And of course you won't know that if you haven't read this, but then who's fault is that?

If this all makes sense and you agree, come join us for some good wholesome fun. See you at the park!

Location:
We play in the large flat open area opposite the Kiosk/Cafe (with toilets) and children's playground. These maps should help:
