General Description
Looking for the ideal social sport? Then play Beach Volleyball in the Marda Loop, five minutes from downtown Calgary. The CSSC offers leagues that consist of teams of 4 and teams of 6. Divisions include Recreational, Intermediate, Intermediate Plus and Competitive. The South Calgary Community Association has 8 beach courts, lights in the evening, a large patio and music playing during your games. There are 24 different teams playing each night, Sunday through Thursday. There is a Beach Volleyball Coordinator on-site facilitating the games and maintaining the courts. All players are responsible for calling their own fouls and managing the game. There is plenty of opportunity to meet other players on and off the court. Many players bring cold beverages to enjoy before and after the games or stop by one of our many Sponsor Bars for great CSSC specials (The Tropicana is only two blocks away). Friday nights are for Drop-in - $10 per person, everyone is welcome.
Who Can Play?
Adults aged 18 and older can join the Beach Volleyball leagues. All Volleyball divisions in the CSSC are co-ed and self-officiated. The levels offered for the 6's division includes Recreational which is for newer players and the goal is to simply get the ball over the net, and the Intermediate level, which is for a range of skill levels, and the goal is to get the ball over in three hits. The 4's division is meant for players with a higher level of experience. Please see below for a breakdown of all the levels offered. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small group, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the season. Click here for more info.
