Division
|
Description |
Recreational 6's |
This
division will feature teams that may have some
skilled players, but also many inexperienced players
and the team as a whole is just in it for the
fun. If several of the players are hard hitting
and quite competitive in nature then the team
should move up to a higher level. An average game
will feature some bumping, passing and hitting,
but the focus is often on just getting the ball
over the net rather than executing 3 hits. Hard
hitting is not allowed. Teams in this division
must have a “fun first” approach to
every game. Note: Teams that register for Recreational
but have had good success in this level will likely
be moved up to a higher division before the season
starts.
|
Intermediate 6's |
This
division is for teams that are looking for more
challenge than the Recreational (starter) level.
Most players on the team have some experience
playing Volleyball and are solid in the fundamentals,
or a few players on the team are above average
and can help carry the play. An average game will
feature some good blocks and 3 hits on most plays,
but the hitting is not usually very hard and the
passes are not always crisp and accurate. Harder
hitting is allowed, but most teams do not have
organized attacks.
|
Intermediate 4's |
This
division is for teams that have more experience
or past success than an average team in Intermediate
6’s. 3-4 players on the team are solid in
the fundamentals, while 1-2 players are above
average and can help carry the play. An average
game will feature good blocking and passing, some
organized plays and harder hitting. Games in this
division look and feel like decent volleyball,
but Varsity or College level players would be
too good to play full force at this level.
Note: Teams that register for Intermediate 4’s
but have had good past success with the SSC in
this level may be moved up to a higher division
before the season starts.

Intermediate
Plus 4's |
This
division is for teams that have more experience
or past success than an average team in Intermediate
Beach 4’s. Players are looking for a good
challenge each night and don’t want to play
weaker teams that will result in a blow out. All
players can pass with accuracy and each team will
have 1-2 heavier hitters. An average game will
feature crisp blocking and passing, some organized
plays and harder hitting.
|
Competitive
4's |
This
division is for teams that consistently play at
a high level and would like to face strong competition
each week. Other leagues in the city will feature
more competitive teams, but this is the SSC’s
highest level. Games in this division will be
characterized by the following:
- The majority of players are experienced and
play at least one position very effectively
- Harder hitting and solid blocking
- Good digs and crisp passing
- Female players are comfortable in a game with
hard hitting
- Organized attacks |
