About us

We are a group of advanced and intermediate volleyball players who meet every Monday at the British International School (BISW) in Georgetown. We generally have a 'top court' on which 5-1 volleyball is played, and a second court on which advanced players who are waiting for the top court plus any intermediate players play less systematic volleyball (although 5-1 can also be played there if a team decides to do so). The people of at least one team on the top court are switched after every set played, and those going on to the top court are based on numbered cards taken / issued to advanced players.

One either court, the vibe is fun and laid-back. No one should take pick-up volleyball too seriously, regardless of personal abilities. No unrequested coaching during playing is allowed.

The venue is the gym at the BISW, at 2001 Wisconsin Avenue. The gym is in the building opposite the main School entrance, and entry is by means of entering a code that will be emailed before each event to people who have RSVP'd.
Limited on-site parking is available, as well as local street parking. The school also has an underground parking lot (but costs $5 an hour).

The cost to play is $10 for each attendee, which can be paid in cash at the event or ahead of the event start time via Zelle or Venmo to the event organizer. Any withdrawals before the no-show threshold (4pm on the day of the event) after payment has been made will be refunded.

We only have two courts, so attendance will be capped at 28 (or so).
Attendance Rules:
1. All attendees should RSVP on Meetup. People who RSVP after the limit is reached will be placed on a waitlist. (They will automatically be registered to attend if they are first in the waitlist and someone drops out).
2. Anyone who finds they cannot attend after RSVPing MUST alter their attendance status to 'No' - unless circumstances somehow prevent it - to allow others on the waitlist to take their spot.
3. Cancelling within three hours of an event registered for will be considered a no-show.
4. Two no-shows will result in removal from the group. Unless the first event not shown up for is also the first registered for, which will result in instant removal.

DISCLAIMER: As always, participation in the volleyball is undertaken at the participant's own risk. The British International School, the sponsoring organization Virtuous Volleyball Inc., as well as the event organizer, are not liable for any injuries sustained in the course of participating, nor for any theft or damage to personal belongings.
