What we’re about
Colorado Front Range Volleyball Meetup group's PURPOSE: Play volleyball on sand, grass, and indoor courts throughout Boulder, Broomfield, Longmont, westminster, denver.
Meet other local volleyball players, make new friends and teammates and build the sport of volleyball in Colorado.
We welcome Recreational, Intermediate, and Advanced level volleyball players. All Levels are welcome!
Volleyball is the ultimate in Sports & Recreation – it is a very social sport. Beach volleyball is also a great form of low impact exercise. See you on the court!

Skill Levels:
"Rec" or "D" Level (sometimes called Picnic Players) <br>"Recreational" players are pretty much total beginners. There's nothing the matter with it, as everybody starts here! Recreational players often do not know even the very basics of volleyball, or have only recently been introduced to them. Recreational players will be just learning the fundamentals of the bump, set, and spike. Rec players have a great time meeting folks and making friends, while they enjoy the game under significantly loosened rules. In some sports, Rec is "D" level. Until I can see a discernible difference between Rec "D" Beginners and what may be labeled "C" Level, anything below the "B" Intermediate Level will be considered Rec. <br> <br>"B" Level is Intermediate <br>"B" players are still in the learning stages, but have had much more time in the game and have thus become a bit more familiar with the individual skillsets used in the game. "B" players are beginning to get comfortable with the bump, set, and spike, and are trying to use 3 hits more often, but have a good bit of time and practice yet in order to play the game skillfully. "B" players make a good bit of mistakes, but they can often see where they want their skills to be, and are working towards that place. B players are getting a bit of consistency with their touches, but have not yet gained the ability to make consistent shots or clean contacts like BB players can. B players often welcome advice from more skilled players, so don't be afraid to ask for tips from better players. <br> <br>"BB" Level is High-Intermediate <br>"BB" players know where to be on the court at all times, and are consistent with their contacts most of the time. BB players generally know where to be defensively most of the time, and are can see open spots to allow their hits and shots to be more effective to earn points offensively. While some BB players still can work their way to becoming A or better, many BB players have hit their ceiling for development due to individual abilities. Those BB players that want to grow their skills should always feel comfortable to ask more skilled players. It's amazing how for example you can have 25 folks explain how to set, but the way the 26th person explains it is the magic key that changes your setting skills forever. Keep asking. <br> <br>"A" Level is Competitive <br>"A" players know all the skills extremely well, but still often do not always execute the super-high level plays extremely effectively. "A" players will periodically have nearly fault free games, but generally make a few less than perfect or less than effective plays each game that should have been done better. "A" players are also often limited by their own physical characteristics, that prevent them from ever getting much better. For this reason, "A" level is often the best a player will ever get. While some "A" players will ask for advice, often they don't want to hear or take advice as much. <br> <br>"AA/Open" Level <br>This is about as good as it gets, though there are a couple folks that have greater potential. "Open" Players usually keep to themselves and set up private gatherings to play, so they can best regulate their competition. Totally valid, so don't put a hex on 'em. Instead look for opportunities to watch them play. <br>

See all- Grass VB | Lake Village Park | Sat | 7amLake Village Park, Thornton, CO
We moved to the morning time because it was more convenient for most people's schedules on the weekend and because the mosquitos aren't as "hungry" as they are in the evening ;)
CANCELLED TODAY 8/24
We are just trying to bring the wonderful game of volleyball to as many people as we can! As pick-up groups are popping up everywhere, we thought it would be a good idea to get something going on this side of town - which is at Lake Village Park (128th and York - about 1/2 mile East of I-25 on 128th Street)
Come play and meet new people and just have a good time! We welcome everyone of all skill levels, and we still manage to have to exciting games that are fun and include everyone. As the group gets bigger, we can distinguish courts by skill levels.
The group that has been showing up, doesn't tend to RSVP on the app. Meaning that more people will be there, so just show up - and bring your friends! If you have any questions or suggestions, please text Manny (720.739.0494) and he can help you out!
So, whaddya say... come play! And meet some new friends in the process.
Hope to see you there!!!
