This division will feature teams that may have some skilled players, but also many inexperienced players and the team as a whole is just in it for the fun. If several of the players are hard hitting and quite competitive in nature then the team should move up to a higher level. An average game will feature some bumping, passing and hitting, but the focus is often on just getting the ball over the net rather than executing 3 hits. Hard hitting is not allowed. Teams in this division must have a “fun first” approach to every game.

Note: Teams that register for Recreational but have had good success in this level will likely be moved up to a higher division before the season starts.

This division is for teams that are looking for more challenge than the Recreational (starter) level. Most players on the team have some experience playing Volleyball and are solid in the fundamentals, or a few players on the team are above average and can help carry the play. An average game will feature some good blocks and 3 hits on most plays, but the hitting is not usually very hard and the passes are not always crisp and accurate. Harder hitting is allowed, but most teams do not have organized attacks.
Note: Teams that register for Intermediate but have had good past success with the SSC in this level may be moved up to a higher division before the season starts

This division is for teams that have more experience or past success than an average team in Intermediate 6’s. Intermediate Plus teams are looking for a good challenge each night and don’t want to play weaker teams that will result in a blow out. All players on the team have experience playing Volleyball and are solid in the fundamentals, and 1-2 players on the team are quite skilled. An average game will feature some good blocks, fairly crisp passing, some organized attacks and harder hitting. Games in this division look and feel like decent volleyball, but Varsity or College level players would be too good to play full force at this level.

This division is for teams that consistently play at a high level and would like to face strong competition each week. Other leagues in the city will feature more competitive teams, but this is SSC’s highest level. Games in this division will be characterized by the following:
- The majority of players are experienced and play at least one position very effectively

- Harder hitting and solid blocking

- Good digs and crisp passing
- Female players are comfortable in a game with hard hitting

- Organized attacks
