Summer
2008 Registration Opens Wednesday, May 21st at 1am
ABOUT THE
SPORT
Looking for the ideal social sport? Then play Beach Volleyball! The
ESSC offers leagues that consist of teams of 4 and teams of 6. Divisions
include Recreational, Intermediate, Intermediate Plus and Competitive.
We run our games out of Central courts and are looking to pick up new
courts for the Summer 2008 season! There are approximately 20 teams
playing each night, Sunday through Tuesday - we are looking to expand
the number of nights per week we offer Beach Volleyball. For all games,
there is an Event Co-ordinate who facilitate the games but also plays
in the league. All players are responsible for calling their own fouls
and managing the game. There is plenty of opportunity to meet other players
on and off the court; try hitting one of our many Sponsor Bars for
great ESSC specials after your games! |

WHO
CAN PLAY?
Adults aged 18 and older can join the Beach Volleyball leagues. All
Volleyball divisions in the ESSC are co-ed and self-officiated. The levels
offered for the 6's division includes Recreational which is for newer players
and the goal is to simply get the ball over the net, and the Intermediate
level, which is for a range of skill levels, the goal here is to get the
ball over in three hits. The 4's division is meant for players with a higher
level of experience. Please see below for a breakdown of all the levels
offered. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not
a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small
group, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similiar
registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the
season. Click here
