The S. Mission Beach Volleyball courts are open
for pickup games during most daylight hours, with the exception of scheduled tournaments, which
are occaisionally held there. Anytime is a good time to play.
If you would like to play competitive pickup volleyball, the best times are 4 PM till sunset
Tuesday-Thursday, and Saturday and Sunday mornings.
All courts are now using new court lines, and play is usually rally
scoring* to 21 with net serves**
allowed, put if you bring your own lines you can set up a court for classic play with the old ball
and side-out scoring***
*Rally scoring indicates that every play results in a point regardless of who served the ball.
** A net serve is a serve that hits the net before contacting a player on the receiving
side, and lands in the field of play on the receiving side.
***Side-out scoring means that only the team serving the ball can score a
point, and if they fail to do so, the receiving team obtains the serve.
