Gym is open!
Please read : Co-Ed indoor volleyball open to HIGH INTERMEDIATE levels of play. HIGH INTERMEDIATE level means that you play volleyball where you are not only not a liability on the court in your given position, but that you have a sense of what you bring to the table and can work to optimize that and cover for your deficiencies.
- Passing: a fundamental element of volleyball. You must pass at least pretty well (about 7/10 of your passes go to the intended target)
- Serving: almost all of your serves go in OR you have a strong serve that you miss more often but can control the other team’s passing
- Net Play: you must be a safe opponent to play against as a hitter/blocker. Almost never crashing into or under the net. Have an understanding of where to be and how to take an approach. You do not have to be a power hitter (especially women having to hit on a men’s height net), but it should look like you understand how to hit/block, or where to bail. Obviously, if you are a setter or an opposite, these rules are relaxed significantly.
- Positioning: understand how to play a 5-1/6-2 rotation and where to be on the court (or have the other listed abilities and can learn quickly). You must stay out of the setter's way unless they call for help, or if you cannot get out of the way (this can happen occasionally), you early and loudly call the ball.
If you are not sure what level you are, one of our hosts can assist. Reach out to us or if you think you are close, come play and we will provide feedback at the end of the night. If you are a low / middle intermediate player, you may sign up for the event 48 hours before it starts, likely joining the wait list.
We can get into the gym usually starting around at 5:55pm to warm up. We'll start to play around 6:15pm, and we have to be completely out by 8pm.
No-show policy: Please do your best to move yourself from the "going" to the "not going" list as soon as you know you can't make it. Drops after 2pm the day of are discouraged (we need to allow the next person time to get there). If you no-show once and don't remove your name from the "going" list, we'll understand (life happens). The next time you sign up for this event, you may get bumped to the back of the waitlist. If you no-show/don't remove your name a second time, you may not be able to sign up for this event again. If you're on the waitlist but know you won't be able to make it if you get bumped to the "going list", please remove yourself so the next person has a chance to join. Thank you!
Quick reminder: All participants must have a current CRC membership card to gain access to Meetup events inside CRC facilities. You can get a pass at any CRC front desk at any time. $25 for an annual pass.
