Details

We have made the booking. This is certain.
Everything else is yet to be finalised.
Please read & understand everything and ask if you have any questions.

Depending on the number of people who RSVP, and their playing level, will determine how this event is organised.

We may use the entire session for an intermediate/advanced game (e.g. 2.5 hours @ $20 each) or split the session into an intermediate session (e.g. 1.25 hours @ $10 each) and an advanced session (e.g. 1.25 hours @ $10 each).

When you RSVP, you will be placed into the Waitlist.
You will also be asked about your playing level and preferred playing session. Based on these responses, we will organise how the event will eventuate.

Preference will be given to regular/familiar players who are able to pay cash on the day. If you are new/not familiar to me, I need 100% commitment that you will turn up (the last think I want is to reserve spots for people who don't turn up as this will impact the organisation and flow of this event).

This event is open to intermediate and advanced players.
If you are a beginner, you will not be allowed to play even if you pay and you will forfeit your money. The reason for this is because we have a limited booking and we want all other paying players to have a game that flows well enough to be fun. If you are unsure about your level, read below or ask the organiser.

Classification of experience level:

1. Beginner (Level 10, 15): You are neither Intermediate or Advanced according to the following definitions:

2. Intermediate (Level 20, 25): You know the basic rules of the game and are reasonably consistent with all of the following: serving, receiving, passing, setting and attacking.

By "consistent" we mean that you are >60% successful with all your ball touches (e.g. 3 out of every 5 serves/receives/passes/sets/attacks either win a point or allow the game to continue and that maximum 2 out of 5 of your ball touches result in in you/your team losing the point).

3. Advanced (Level 30, 35): You know the rules of the game with regards to playing positions, setting, net fouls, foot fouls, etc., and you can serve, receive, set and attack at 80% success rate (e.g. 4 out of every 5 serves/receives/passes/sets/attacks either win a point or allow the game to continue and that maximum 1 out of 5 of your ball touches result in in you/your team losing the point.

Warm-up > Practice > Play
We will start with some warm up exercises and practice some game skills before getting into the games. We will probably spend the first 10-30min on warm-up & practice before getting into the games.

Cost: will depend on number of players
Since we just made the booking, certain electronic payments might not come through in time, so for this event we prefer and will prioritise cash at the door(court), payments.

The Process
1. If you're interested & commit 100% to coming, paying & playing, RSVP to join the Waitlist.
2. When you RSVP, you will be asked (and must respond) to ALL questions/prompts.
3. We will move people from the Waitlist to the Going list.
This may not just be based on RSVP time but also other factors such as being a regular, reliable attendee, skill level etc.
4. If you are on the Going list and you can no longer make it, you have until Sunday morning 9am to cancel your RSVP (change it to Not Going). This will allow us to reach out to another player so they can have your spot. If you cancel your RSVP after 9am, and we fail to replace you, you will still be required to pay the fee.
5. On the day, turn up to the sports centre early (10min before your session) so that we can carry out necessary admin and start promptly.

SHOWING UP ON TIME:
If you arrive late, you may have to wait until the next break so that we can carry out the admin & payment before you can play, so it is recommended you arrive at least 10min before your session starts. We don't want to waste any of the valuable and limited playing time on admin.

GETTING THERE:

  • Green Square train station is ~900m away.
  • Maddox Street bus stop is ~100m away.
  • Street parking out the front usually available (some park in the carpark across the road).

SAFETY:
You are responsible for your own safety.
Neither this meetup group or the venue will be held responsible for any injury or loss of property you may experience.
