SUMMER 2022 VOLLEYBALL (OUTDOOR) SEASON

Dates/Times: All games will be played on Thursday evenings between 6:00PM - 9:00PM. Games are 45 minutes each.

Facility: Frederick Douglass Park - 1616 E 25th St, Indianapolis, IN 46205

Registration Cost: $40 per player, which includes your registered player T-shirt (see registration information section below). The league is open to all and those in need of an equitable registration option can email us for more information.

Registration Information: Registration for the Summer 2021 league begins on Thursday, June 2, 2022 to Thursday, June 16, 2021; or when the league is full.

• A team is formed when 8 players register and pay within 24 hours. Each team may have up to 10 players.
• Captains: If you plan on being the captain of a team, you will need to register first, create the correct team and team name and then have players register under your team name. An email will be sent once you have signed up with additional team information and responsibilities as a captain; you will select your T-shirt color when you register your team. Captains and Co-Captains are also required to attend a mandatory Captain meeting on a date TBD. If neither the captain nor the co-captain are able to attend, they must provide a representative in their place.
• Players: 
  • With a Team: If your captain has registered your team prior to your registration, you will be able to indicate your team. If your captain has registered your team, the team name can be selected from a dropdown menu. If your team captain has not registered the team, there will be an option for you to type the team name.
  • Free Agents: If you do not have a team, you may register as a free agent. Free agents will be placed on a team at the close of registration based on availability and desired level of play.
• Volleyball Rating System: The goal of this year's volleyball program is to provide an inclusive environment for all skill levels of players. There will be two divisions: Recreational and Competitive. The ratings outlined below will help determine your division. We recognize that this is a subjective rating system, so we encourage captains and players to honestly reflect on their skill level when determining ratings.

Level 1 - A level 1 has never played before or has limited playing experience. They have not yet begun to bump, set, and spike and generally just aim to return a ball.

Level 2 - A level 2 player is a beginner but should know the basics of volleyball and has played some volleyball before. They are just beginning to bump, set, and spike.

Level 3 - A level 3 player is still in the early stages of the game but knows the skills. A level 3 player knows how to bump, set (a little) and spike but still needs practice to do these skills consistently.

Level 4 - A level 4 player has good experience playing and knows where to be on the court at all times when plays are developing. They know where to be when the opponent is hitting. A level 4 player also knows the footwork of and how to approach hitting effectively.

Level 5 - A level 5 player has extensive playing experience. They know all the skills extremely well and can run combination plays in a basic way if passes are good. That includes slides, tandems, crosses and back row hitting.
