We plan to compete in 5 tournaments January through March, some drivable and a few requiring overnight lodging.

Every summer, for about 18 weeks, a large, co-ed league of four divisions comes together on Wednesday evenings to play grass volleyball at Stewart Park, at the southern end of Cayuga Lake.
During the school year, groups can be found playing pick-up games at various high schools or other venues in the Ithaca area. Listed below are the ones known to the site maintainer.

Welcome! Although we do not have a dedicated volleyball center near us, we do have various friendly groups that play at different high schools on a weekly basis during the regular school year.
If you play recreationally, bring your shoes and join a game. Most or all will have a fee to cover insurance for the entire playing season. Some may have a per-diem fee instead or allow free playing for an evening so that you can check out the level of play.
For those who prefer a more competitive atmosphere for their games, you are advised to get to know local players via the open, pick-up venues and ask other players of similar ability about league or tournamewnt teams that might be seeking players, either regular or alternate.
Also check back here occasionally for updates or additions for opportunities to play locally.
