See all- All Levels Beach VolleyballBeach Pavilion #1, Pompano Beach, FL
Just some good ol' fashioned volleyball on the beach. Varied skill levels. Beginners welcome.
We already have an established group that plays at the beach on Saturdays so even if only a few people have signed up here we will still be playing unless I cancel the event.
Feel free to show up anytime during the day. If you have any questions the day of you can message me on here or text me 631-312-0496.
**It's that time of year again and the beach is heating up. I recommend bringing a thick pair of socks or sand socks to protect your feet. Also bring plenty of water. Heat stroke can come for any of us.

Unmarked Lot - https://goo.gl/maps/JkgYRmyywZn2Uza37 - Bicycle in Homestead followed by lunch at "Robert is Here"Starbucks , Florida City , FL
A whole year has passed since our excursion to this abandoned site in Homestead. This is another of our old favorites with lots of history going back to the 1960s. The old facility which housed a rocket has long been abandoned, but there is plenty of graffiti artwork on the building walls and floors to explore. Remaining is some of the many warehouses now marked with graffiti. Bike ride itself is approx 10-12 miles but definitely worth the long drive.
We will meet at the parking behind Starbucks on the corner of E. Palm and Highway One Rd at 9:45. There will be time to run into Starbucks or Walgreens for a snack. At 10:15 we will caravan to our starting point for biking a few miles down the road. This is an old, paved road.
NOTE, there are no restrooms where we will be riding, thus meeting at Starbucks.
Here are some links on the history of the place:

- Beach Volleyball 101 ClassBeach Pavilion #1, Pompano Beach, FL
This event is a tie in to our normal Saturday volleyball group. Since we usually jump straight into games I know it can be difficult to learn the game. This will be an opportunity to learn the rules and get some instruction on the basics. Whether you've never played before, are looking for a refresher or are just looking to work on your skills I should be able to help you out.
Please bring a pair of thick socks or sand socks as the sand can get very hot. Also bring plenty of water.
**These classes have been filling up every week, but attendance has been hit or miss lately. I do this for free so I ask you to please respect my time and update your RSVP if you can't make it. Frequent No Shows will be banned from signing up for future classes.
If you any questions or concerns you can message me on here or text me at 631-312-0496.
