Sand and Indoor Leagues

We run outdoor sand leagues in the Spring and Summer and indoor leagues in the Fall and Winter. Spring season usually starts mid-May and runs through mid-July, and Summer starts in mid-July. Fall Indoor leagues typically start at the end of October, with the first session finishing up in mid-January and the second beginning in January and ending in Mid-March. Depending on facility scheduling, there may be another session from mid-March to mid-May.

Registration and League Capacity

All leagues have a capacity and many sell out. Don't wait to sign up if you want to play. Registration deadline: Generally one week prior to the start date (if not already sold out).

Sand volleyball leagues have been selling out 3-4 weeks before the start date.

Divisions and Skill Level

Teams and free agents self-select their division during registration, subject to MSSC approval. Not all leagues will have three divisions, depending on space available and the mix of teams who sign up. Our indoor leagues tend to be at a higher level of play than our sand leagues, and we are not always able to segement indoor leagues into more than one division when there are space limitations. This is the best way we can define our skill levels:

Lower: Teams and players with well below average skill and little-to-no playing experience. They don't pass well (or even understand what a pass is) and don't utilize the bump, set, spike technique on each play. Many players serve underhand and teams would generally be called for a fair number illegal hits under normal ball contact rules. Most players cannot spike well, if at all
Intermediate: Teams and players who have some volleyball experience, but generally may not always play cohesively and may get called for the occasional illegal contact. They understand the basics of the game and fall somewhere between Lower and Upper. When only Lower and Upper divisions are offered, Intermediate teams and players should register for Upper
Upper: This is MSSC's highest level of play, but is not considered "Power" (for those who understand the term). Teams and players have a fair amount of organized playing experience. They understand the bump, set, spike technique and try to employ it as often as possible.

Overall, our leagues tend to be at a lower level of competition than others out there. Please sign up for a higher division whenever possible, as teams who actually belong in Lower do not enjoy getting destroyed by teams who are much better than them. MSSC reserves the right to move teams if we know how good they are and believe they are in the wrong division. There is no guarantee we will be able to segment any given league into separate divisions. All teams may be placed in one division, or at least fewer than originally offered.

Individual registration details: Individuals may sign up and we will place you if we can. No payment is required at sign up; we will contact you if we have a spot for you and place you when payment is received

Do not register for multiple nights if you are not able to play on multiple nights. We count on all free agents being available for any and all nights for which they register. If you are able to play on multiple nights but only want to play one, register for the night you prefer and check the box for other nights you're available during registration.

Dates and Locations

Spring and Summer sand leagues are held at Olbrich Park on Atwood Ave
2022 Spring indoor leagues will have locations for both east and westsiders. West side leagues will be held at Cherokee Middle School Monday - Wednesday and primarily Midvale Elementary on Thursday. East side leagues are held primarily at East High School

Scheduling

Since it is asked all the time: Schedules are posted a few days after registration closes. If you signed up for Tuesday nights, your team plays on Tuesdays nights, and you should be available for any time slot.

Prizes and Other Benefits

Champions t-shirts will be awarded to the winners of the Upper division (or any league with only one division)
Some leagues may have sponsor bars that provide drink specials to teams each week. These details will be communicated to those leagues
