2011-2012 season is now open!

General Information

CBVA is a pick-up, or "open gym" league. So, the teams change every Sunday based on who attends - though we do allow teams to submit rosters and play as a group in the Advanced Division. The indoor season runs from September through the end of May. All games are played at the regular height for men, co-ed mixed, and outdoor: 7 feet, 11-5/8 inches.

Divisions

There are three sessions to meet different levels of skill. The divisions are Advanced, Intermediate and Recreational:

Advanced

The advanced session is highly competitive and focuses on running varied offenses, such as 1s and shoots. In order to play at this level, players must be able to play in a 5-1 formation, consistently pass hard-driven balls, as well as effectively block and hit. All USAV rules are strictly observed.

1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
cut-off: 12:45 pm or 54 players

Intermediate

The intermediate session is also competitive, although not as much as the advanced session. Players at this level, generally hit well, but may have some difficulty with passing. In order to play at this level, players need to have a basic knowledge of 6-2, and moderate passing and hitting ability. Carriers, lifts, and doubles are observed in accordance with USAV rules. All other USAV rules are observed with some flexibility.

3:45 pm - 6:15 pm
cut-off: 3:30 pm

Recreational

The recreational session is for individuals who have never played volleyball or are just beginning. There are no requirements in order to play at this level. Line and net faults are enforced, as well as any other safety-related rules. Carries, lifts, and doubles are ignored.

6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
cut-off: 6:15 pm or 54 players
