   Greetings,
   I searched and found some related, older topics but I am hoping that as we are fast approaching summer, there will be some discussion here.
   I am interested in playing pickup beach volleyball over the summer. Does anyone have some info or tips as to where/when it is best to find a friendly match?
   Male/Female, old/young, I don't care who I'll be playing with, I would just like to play.
   Thanks in advance and bring on the sunshine.

   Chancer - I've been meaning to ask the same question! I haven't played in years but it looks like fun.

   Guess it's just us, then. Suppose I'll show up on a sunny Saturday (hopefully soon) and see what I can find.

   You could try here: http://www.sandboxsports.net/alkifridays.html

   Or even here (although this is more competitive):
   http://www.alkivolleyballassociation.com/

   There's also a volleyball supply store on Alki (next to the smoothie place, downstairs from the tattoo place) that might have some tips for you. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a bulletin board to help people find players.

   Or just show up on a weekend with a ball, and preferably a net. The nets are set-up by individuals, not provided by the city. There's not a large area to have nets, so just hanging around probably works.

   Have fun!

   On many sunny weekends in spring and summer there will be a net set up at the poles furthest west (across from Dukes). The net and canopy are put up by a local down the street, and he's always looking for more people to play.

   Thank you for the tips.

   I didn't realize the nets were privately owned.

   Underdog Sports Leagues has weeknight leagues at Alki on Monday nights and Wednesday nights starting in May. The leagues are 6 week plus playoffs.
   You can sign up as an individual and they hook you up with other individuals. The action is 4 on 4 co-ed and all skill levels are welcome.

   http://www.underdogseattle.com and click on the VB page.

   it is all 21+ because they partner with a bar after for discounts!

   I've considered Underdog for other sports in the past. The problem is I travel quite a bit for work and would like to avoid: 1. Paying for a league and missing games or 2. Be absent when a team is counting on me.
   I'll take a look again though and see if I can work it out. Thanks.
