WHAT TO EXPECT

and get everyone moving. Then we’ll split into two groups:A. Rally Group(you are able to reliably receive/set. Have good ball control and a consistent serve.
B. Fundamentals Group(can set and receive sometimes, but could benefit from drills to improve ball contro
We’ll end with a some final mixed games so we all get to play together again. The goal is to keep things fun, supportive, and give everyone a chance to play, improve, and enjoy themselves.

The purpose of this meetup is to create a fun and supportive environment where we can improve our skills, enjoy competitive games, and connect socially. While we do aim to play seriously and challenge ourselves, the focus is more on growth and enjoyment than simply winning at all costs. That’s why the title doesn’t include “competitive” or “social”—we want a healthy mix of both. This is a space where you won’t be judged for making mistakes, but we do expect a mindset geared toward learning and getting better over time. That said, this group isn’t intended for total beginners; a basic understanding of the game is expected so that everyone can contribute to meaningful and engaging matches. The host holds the right to remove you from the game if he believes that you are at a C level.
