Grass-court volleyball could be your park’s new best friend
It’s easy to host. It’s affordable to maintain. There are plenty of potential players. And it’s hot and growing and can bring a younger demographic into your park.
Sounds like a win/win (or maybe, with all those advantages, a win/win/win/win/win), right? It’s grass-court volleyball, one of the latest trends. The sport has long been a fixture at the club level on college campuses and at picnics nationwide, but it’s also big on the pro level; in fact, there is also an AVP Grass Tour (tagline: “Grass meets grit”).
And it might just be your next big thing, particularly if you have a goal of starting some leagues that will run on evenings and weekends. Grass volleyball has the edgy vibe of beach volleyball, but without the need to build a special court and truck in sand. Those interested in playing will find it easy to make up a team since some formats use only two or three players per side—and a smaller court can mean less running and more action.
In fact, this couldn’t be easier to implement. All you need is the knowledge and a few simple tools.
