π Smashing Expats Event with the XR1 & XR2 (mixed setting, advanced level)
Details
Hi everyone π
On Tuesday, 22 September 2026, Smashing Expats will organise a regular volleyball session focused on structured mixed-team play at the level of XR1 and XR2.
As usual, Smashing Expats events are also open to people who simply want to play volleyball in Rotterdam. Since the beginning of our group, we have offered a single-entry option for players who are in the Netherlands for different reasons, such as a short visit, work event, half-year internship, one-year Erasmus study, or a longer stay.
This means you do not need to be part of a competition team to join our events. However, for this specific Tuesday session, players are expected to have a suitable volleyball level and understand the 5:1 system.
For the 2026/2027 season, Smashing Expats will compete with:
π XR1 and XR2 in the Poule A Mixed Competition
## β οΈ Important
This is not a beginner session.
Players joining this session are expected to:
- Understand the 5:1 system
- Have experience with organised volleyball games
- Be comfortable playing in a structured mixed-team setting
- Follow team rotation and positional responsibilities
At this stage, we are no longer organising open recruitment for XR1 and XR2. Players who are interested in being considered for future opportunities may contact the organisers, but they will first be placed on the waiting list. Participation in future team activities depends on level, team needs, and organiser confirmation.
