Welcome to Stanton Park Monday Night Volleyball!
This is a fun competitive group. I know there is a lot to read but we want to make sure this is a safe place to play and that everyone has fun and we are all the same level.
We have to turn the lights out and be out of the building by 8pm.
Cost: $10
We are looking for B level at a minimum but prefer higher. If you are B, we hope you are trying to get to BB.
We ask that players are of a competitive nature, as this it not recreational volleyball.
We will ask lower level players to return when they increase their skill level. Please don't be offended by this. This is for safety and to keep the skill level consistent.
We play hard and, most important, we have fun! If you haven't played in awhile, feel free to join us. We will get you back into it.
- Prebooking: Players with a proven B or BB level of play will get first dibs at pre-booking - exception will be repeat offenders for no-shows or cancellations.
- NO-SHOW: Please don't! A no-show is any reservation canceled on Monday that is not filled by someone. So, if you leave us hanging, you are on the hook. If you can't make it, please email me in the Meet-up message center.
- WAIT-LIST: WAIT-LIST WAIT-LIST Once we max out, the reservation limit will be lowered. This is the only way to turn off the auto-waitlist. I wish there was a better way.
The morning of the event, the people on the waitlist will be switched to "not-going". WHY? Here is why: After everyone is switched I increase the maximum back to 24 which then turns on the Auto-waitlist. Everyone can now rejoin the waitlist group. Now, if someone cancels the day off and if you are on the waitlist you know you can play that night -right?! It happens all the time that someone signs up for the waitlist days prior, and then forgets they are on the list on Monday. Then the auto-list moves them up automatically and then we have a no-show : (
New players: If you are a first timer you do need to confirm you can make it. I know some meetups have extras so no shows are ok but we play with exactly 24. If you have your Meet-up privacy settings setup to not be contacted by assistant organizers I might drop you since I can't confirm with you. Please change that or add your email to your RSVP.
