What we’re about
Sun, sand, fresh air and exercise all in one! Come out and play beach volleyball at two of Vancouver's best beaches! This fun group is for anyone wanting to play volleyball at Kitsilano or Spanish Banks Beaches. We are in our 7th season now! All skill levels welcome, and we usually organize the courts by skill levels. Due to lack of courts and the popularity at Kits, we will meet at Kits pretty much during March, April, September and October. And at Spanish Banks during June to August. Bring water, a hat, sunglasses, sun screen, a towel, and chair as needed. Nets and balls will be provided. Expect to meet most Sunday mornings and Wednesday Evenings for 3 hours! (weather permitting) Looking forward to playing with current and new players!

Ideas of things to bring💡:
• A hat, sunglasses, lots of water and light snacks like juicy fruit or bars
• Sand socks or an old pair of socks are helpful to protect your feet when the sand is very hot or cold
•Multiple layers of clothes to accommodate the weather changing
•A bag/backpack to keep everything from getting sandy
•Be careful wearing jewelry as it easily gets lost in the sandQuick extras to notes👍🏼:
