This meetup is intended for intermediate to advanced players, with the exception of select experienced beginners (i.e., high beginner).

At minimum, **please know the basic beach volleyball rules, positioning, how to serve, pass, set, hit (e.g., bump, set, spike), communicate to their team members and have roughly 65% ball control.** This criteria is to enable good rallies for all and aid in the safety of others while on court.

Beginners/entry level players will not be accepted.

**If we have less than 4 attendees who RSVP’d or less than 4 attendees show up by 9:30 am, the event will be cancelled. **Looking forward to seeing you!!!

**Only RSVP if you (and your guest) have read, understood, and agreed to the below statements.**

We aim to play 3s; however, we will occasionally play 4s and 2s. Additionally, we may run drills from time to time.

**Our group may have varying levels of play depending upon attendees. We select and mix teams to balance skills and foster good rallies. With this in mind, teams are not always the same and we may change up approaches with games depending on attendees.**

We are a smaller meetup. We strive to maintain a fun, inclusive and positive environment. We are not club volleyball. If you do not like to play with varying levels of team mates, this may not be the group for you.

We play at the scheduled time; however, we may come out earlier to run drills, warm up, etc. Additionally, we may stay over the scheduled time when we have enough abled players who are willing to continue. Announcements will be made for possible early arrivals.

Rally scoring; play until 21; win by 2.

Hand Setting / Finger Action: Open hand setting to your teammate on the second hit is not considered fault. If the play is defensive and reactive in nature, as in the case of a hard-driven ball, momentarily held or double-contacted balls are not considered faults. This may apply if a block contact was slight and the ball is still a hard-driven attack. Otherwise, **no hand setting / fingering over the net even when it’s done right.**

The only exception is when blocking, over hand palm, and closed finger tip (aka cobra, knuckle, etc.)
