Cost: $5

We are so excited to announce our first open gym happening this month!

For many adults, it is a tough pill to swallow when it is time to"hang up your cleats." Or in this case scenario, your knee pads. Over the years, you fall in love with your sport and then one day, it is not very accessable or possible at all. My goal is to make that possible again! Sports/hobbies are such a gift. If you were lucky enough to find one that brings you joy and passion, chase it down! If not, I challenge you to find yours. And perhaps it is with me, in this league we are launching!

So bring your own team or come individually. We will be having a fun night of volleyball and discussing the launch of this program. It is $5/person (CASH ONLY-Donations Welcome) to enter and all proceeds will go to the AHS Volleyball Booster Club. We will have enough space to set up 3 to 5 courts. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If your friends are coming, ask them to join this Facebook Group (Barrow County Adult Volleyball) and RSVP to the event as well. Hope to see you on the court! -Camden

The playing location is Atlanta Extreme Volleyball Club in Suwanee. You need to RSVP here, but you must register and pay on their website : Atlanta Extreme Volleyball Club (Scroll to Adults then open play) then text me a photo of your receipt by Saturday noon. Otherwise you will be removed from the list and a Waitlist person will have a shot. My Cell 4049034150.

We have fun, we play good games and we do it every Monday 8-10pm at Atlanta Performance Volleyball!

Anyone is welcome to join.

We seperate skill level from beginner, intermediate and advanced and we cap each court at 3 teams, though we aim for 2 teams per court to maximize game play. Up to 4 courts per night.

Format: We play co-ed 6’s on a co-ed or men’s net height. We also have a women’s court if attendance permits. At 8:15 we split up attendees into teams of 6 or 7 players. Each team will play 2 games then we’ll circle up and make new teams.

If you want to bring your own team, feel free to give the organizers a heads up.

**SIGN UP REQUIREMENTS ** RSVP on OPENSPORTS by 6:30pm on Monday. Payments can be made through OPENSPORTS to secure your spot.

B – Basic understanding of the game and rules. Some developed volleyball skills, such as passing and serving.
BB – Solid knowledge of the game and rules. ...
A – Excellent knowledge of the game and rules.

"A/BB" PLAYERS ONLY, PLEASE!
IMPORTANT!!!!
I don't like it, but I have needed to ask some folks to step off the courts that are not consistent "BB players or better," so pleeeease be honest with yourself.

Please note your likely earliest arrival time(s), so everyone can plan around when enough players will be here to start.

Read before signing up, please

If you are unsure of your level, please visit www.alpharettabeach.com/skill-levels

The following rules and guidelines have been put in place to help schedule organized events that help match player skill levels and minimize no-shows and late bailers.

Again, this event is for experienced A and BB Players...
If you arrive and realize you are not a good fit, DO NOT PLAY. Strong players know the game well and will move on the court accordingly. Weaker and inexperienced players can make the game dangerous and will lower the fun for other players wanting competitive play. No Bueno!

No attitudes. Play hard, but play nice.

As a courtesy to those signing up -- ONLY those signed up should come.

No-Shows and Late Bailouts hurt the group and can get you banned.

Rules

The Rules that we will be playing by are:

1. No open-handed passing of serves
2. No carries (that includes finger pad dinks or "indoor dinks")
3. No hand setting over the net under any circumstance.
4. No double contacts (a player contacts the ball twice in succession or the ball contacts except in a single attempt on the first ball over).
5. No nets.
6. Sets are called a bit loosely for normal outdoor volleyball, but that being said, no doubles or carries are allowed.
7. Servers adjust so opposing players can see you and the ball clearly.

Feel free to ask those on the court if you can have some extra leniency in order to practice your hand-setting skills.

Sign Up Policy: As a courtesy to those signing up -- ONLY those signing up are guaranteed a spot to play. If you do not sign up or you are on the waiting list, but show up -- you will not play unless there is an open spot, e.g. someone leaves or volunteers / shares their spot. This has become increasingly important. Don't just show up and expect to play. If you are on the waiting list and show up, please understand that the original 9 will always get priority, . AND BB players only please! Numerous comments about recreational players hindering play. Please see below if you are unsure of your level.

No Show policy: A "no-show" is when you RSVP 'YES' for an event but fail to attend it. Volleyball is a team sport. Be a team player. If you are not going to be able to attend please update your RSVP and let someone else have your spot. Think of it as your responsibility to the team. No-shows hurt the group as it takes a spot away from a member who is willing to come, and prevents organizers from getting a fair headcount for their events. Individuals with three (3) no-shows will be removed from the group. No conversation, no warning and no exceptions.

This event is for High Intermediate (BB) level.

Please choose the level that most matches your ability. If you choose a level too high or too low you and other participants will end up disappointed. This event is for BBlevel (you can pass, set, and hit with some consistency) and above.

B+ level (high intermediate) description

You can pass, set, and hit with some consistency. At a minimum, players at this level should have progressed well beyond Recreational (beginner) and are more consistent with their basic skills. Players can direct and control the ball more consistently and are aware and capable of passing, setting and spiking and attempt to play 3 hit volleyball at all times. This event is for players who have previous experience playing and understand rules and all basic skills. Executing basic skills may be at times inconsistent but the effort to improve and play 3 hit volleyball is there. If the effort to play 3 hit volleyball is not there you should play Recreational.

This Meetup IS NOT for Recreation / Beginner level (C level) play. If you are unsure of your level, please ask.

Guests

Past experience shows that guests often do not show up for events. To avoid this, in general to sign up for a volleyball event, you must be a member of the Atlanta Volleyball Meetup group. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis – please contact the event organizer.

Depending on the number of people who come out and play, we will play 2's, 3's or, 4's per side.

Cancellation policy. This event will be canceled if there is a lack of interest OR due to weather conditions no later than three hours before the event, at the discretion of the event organizer.

Rules. The Rules that we will be playing by are:

1. No open handed passing
2. No carries (that includes open handed dinks or "indoor dinks")
3. No hand setting over the net
4. No double contact (a player contacts the ball twice in succession or the ball contacts
   various parts of the player’s body successively)
5. No hitting the net
6. No illegal sets. The ball must be contacted cleanly and not held (including lifted, pushed, caught, carried or thrown). The ball cannot spin when you set it. Anything more than a 3/4 turn of the ball, is counted as an illegal set. Note: there is a common misconception that hand sets can be judged based on the number of rotations by the ball in the air. However, rotation of a set ball may indicate a held ball or multiple contacts during the set but in itself is not a fault.

All games are played by rally scoring. This means every mistake is a point for the other team. If you miss a serve, miss a hit, or miss a block, the other team gets a point.

Location. Don White Memorial Park. 705 B Riverside Road. About a quarter mile east of Highway 9 and Riverside Park. The exact location of the court is few dozen yards south of Riverside Road and further west from the the bridge than is indicated by the push pin on the Google Map.

Feedback. Your feedback on how to improve this meetup is encouraged and appreciated. Remember, this is for fun and no attitudes allowed. :)

See you on the sand!

This event is for Adults... age 18 and up.
