Indoor Open League Format:

• We start at 13:00 sharp. Everyone needs to arrive on time; if you are more than 5 minutes late, you won't be able to take part. On arrival, you will be put into 5 mixed teams of 6 players (3 men, 3 women where possible); some teams may have a substitute if numbers don't add up (substitutes will be roll on, roll off).

• Each week you will play in a different team with different players.

• Matches will be two sets to 15 points and then one to 10 points if needed.

• Match rules will be regular indoor volleyball rules.

• Each week teams will play 4 matches.

• In each match played, one point will be given to each player for each set won.

• The points you earn each week in your different teams will be recorded against your name on a league table of all the players in the league (three league tables: Beginner, Local League, National League).

• At the end of the 2021 season (end of December) awards will be presented to the players with the most points in each league.

If the open league is successful/popular, we will run a 2022 season January - April, with awards presented at an end of season awards night of some kind.
