Sportsmanship

Our main focus is to provide a fun and relaxed environment for all players. Any behavior deemed unacceptable by our staff may result in forfeiture, player ejection from a game, league or facility.

League Registration Basics

Leagues are 8-9 matches and include a 2 week double elimination tournament with full league. Time Blocks: 5:30, 6:30, 7:30, 8:30 & 9:30.  All captains are responsible for knowing the rules and making sure the team understands the rules. To guarantee league placement, payment and registration forms are due by the deadlines for each session. All players are required to fill out the roster waiver form which will be provided first night of play. 2nd night choice on registration will be used if 1st option is full. Leagues are formed based on registration. To make sure everyone gets to play, we may combine leagues across skill levels in a coed format. Refunds are not available if skill levels are combined. Prizes vary for winning league championship. Rosters with players playing in the wrong skill level will be excluded from winning league prizes. 

How much does it cost to play?

League fees vary, see league signup page.

Annual Membership - $25 for all new players. Returning players $25 if enrolled in auto pay or pay online each January. Annual Membership is a seasonal sports membership and expires December 31st each year. Membership renewal for recurring billing occurs in January each year. Fees increase to $50 after January. We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently evict you if you're taking away from our fun and positive environment.

What do I get with my membership? Access to the club, free open play for league players on available courts during regular business hours. League players get discounts on court rentals or specials from our sponsors offered periodically. 

Free Agents - A free agent is a player without a team and is allowed to play on different teams until he or she finds the right team. Fee is $75 plus membership and $75 each session thereafter. Playing on multiple teams or nights is allowed in the first session to meet other players. After the first session free agent fee required for all teams unless you join a team and then you pay your share of the team fee to the captain.

(no jewelry, shoes, boots, jeans, casts, hard metal objects, etc).  Players may wear hats, visors and sunglasses at their own risk and other beach volleyball gear.  Volleyballs are provided to captains at check-in each week.

How old do I have to be to play?

League players and free agents must be 18+ years old to play and be on the courts, including court rentals. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by management in its sole discretion. Must have a valid drivers license to verify age. If under the age of 18 a parent/guardian will have to sign a waiver form in order to play and become a club player.

How critical are skills?

Skill levels are very critical. Please use correct skill level for best experience. If you choose the  wrong skill level we have the right to move you to the correct league. Refunds are not available if skill levels are combined. 

Do you accept checks or cash?

We accept cash, checks or credit cards. Processing fees apply. 

What is the process to join a league?

Captains book a spot in league with our online registration form and pay the league fee. Captains receive free t-shirt if team is registered and paid in full by the deadline. Shirts are available first two weeks of the league. Each player on the newly formed team must pay the membership fe. All players must sign the roster waiver form provided on first night of play. It's the duty of the captain to fill a team each week. If you don't see a league that meets your needs contact us at and we'll try to find a spot for you.
