THURS Night MINI-SESSION - Fall 2024

THURSDAY RECREATIONAL Co-ed 4 vs 4 MINI-Session

This league is for those looking forward to the weekend and don't take beach volleyball too seriously. Teams are here to have some fun, while trying to improve their game. Most in this league will not have great success at passing or setting the ball, which means there will be a lot of one overs and very few spikes. You don't have to worry about big hitters in this league! Rules in this division will be politely enforced. Extra obvious throws & lifts should be called as well as ANY CONTACT of the NET. This is so people can play and not worry about nit-picky calls that are intended for a higher level of play. (1) ADV player per team maximum. ADV males are restricted, no spikes, jump serves, girl-blocking etc. while females are unrestricted.

Mini-Sessions are proposed in order to continue play as long as reasonably possible while avoiding the November weather. Games are "at risk", read below.
