Volleyball-Indoor

Do you know what a fun volleyball drinking game is? Taking a swig every time you hear someone say “is this net the right height?” followed by them reaching an arm up to measure. I guarantee that you’ll be 105% hydrated by the end of the game!

Nets in our leagues should all be set to men’s height, also known as 2.43 meters or 7 feet and 11 5/8 inches. Oftentimes this will be marked on the volleyball poles for ease of reference while setting up. No markings on the pole? Going with the highest setting is often a good bet!

If all else fails… use your arm to measure!

Here at the Sport & Social Club, we like to keep our finger on the pulse when it comes to equipment upgrades and improvements to ensure our players are using the best-of-the-best! The newest addition for 2019 is the integration of the Molten Indoor Volleyball. Here’s a quick description of the three balls now in circulation:

Just went out and bought new knee pads and court shoes? Or maybe you are dusting off the old ones from high school? If you said yes to the second question, I would probably give those a smell test and a good wash first. 

It’s game night, your laces are tied, your jersey is looking fly, and you’re ready to play. Now imagine with me the following scenarios…

Scenario 1: A ball is lobbed over the net. You think to yourself, “Surely someone else has got it.” Meanwhile your teammates are all thinking the exact same thing. Thud. The ball hits the ground.

We’re proud to host 4 different divisions of Volleyball to cater to all levels of players. With those divisions, come different divisional rules, which can get a little confusing to players both new and old.

There are 5 main areas where rules differ between our divisions:

One of the most common misconceptions people have about our ‘Sports League’ is that they are out of luck if they can’t register with a full team - that’s not true at all! Here at the Club we are happy to offer an opportunity to register as an Individual (Indy) and the Club does the heavy lifting of assembling a team for you.

Bump, set, spike ... point? Not always. From the recreational to the competitive divisions, defence can be the difference maker in winning big points to put your team in a position to compete for the league championship! When we talk about defence, it's the blockers who put up the 'wall' to stop a team from returning the ball over the net or force hitters to redirect the ball letting the back row get the 'dig' and keep the ball in play.

Our Event Coordinators are players just like you that volunteer to help facilitate our Indoor Volleyball, Badminton, Flag Football, Ultimate, and Tennis leagues. They play a huge role in ensuring that all players enjoy themselves each and every night. Tasks include bringing equipment to the gym/field, setting up, doing the pre-game announcements, keeping the games on time, reporting the scores to the office, and more!

Hola! Buenos Dais! Ever have trouble drawing the line? Well I’m here to help you cross (or not cross) that barrier with a dose of common net and line violations in our Indoor Volleyball Leagues!

What is a Net Violation?

Touching the net with any part of the body while the ball is in play is a net violation.

Players are allowed to touch the posts, ropes or any other object outside the antennae or court lines as long as it does not interfere with the play. Players are not allowed to touch the part of the antennae that is above the top of the net.

Have you ever been to an Indoor Volleyball game and there was uncertainty when it came to the net rule? Sometimes the reason for this confusion is because different volleyball organizations may play with different rules when it comes to touching the net. Here at the Club, the rules are as follows:
