SUMMARY:Drop-In Volleyball
DESCRIPTION:Drop-in is more about having fun and getting exciting rallies going\, rather than what is on the scoreboard. The Drop-in Coordinator explains the basic format at the beginning of the night. If you have any questions\, you’ll also have a Court Leader to explain the basics. If you are new to volleyball or have not played in a long time\, don’t worry\, the atmosphere is casual! Everyone is there for fun\, so enjoy yourself!Play description: Ideal for beginners or for those looking to build on their base skills. Open to all levels. Rotational play (setter position 2 or 3)\, promote 3 touches\, and encourage your peers. Higher level players are expected to play at the corresponding level to promote play and help foster a conducive learning environment.
