Anyone looking to get out, have fun, and get some exercise.

Why

It's good casual fun! If you're looking for some good recreational volleyball or just a beginner. This is for you!

Tuesday Night Recreational Volleyball with BBQ

I wanted to let you know about a fun event that will be happening every Tuesday night all
summer long.

When this is:
Every Tuesday night
Starts First Tuesday in May
All Summer long
6pm - sunset


What this is:
This is sand volleyball in Oakbrook Terrace at Drennan Park..
Hanging out in the park.
This is just pure fun.

A little confusing to get to at first (see map & directions)


What this is not
This is NOT a league.
This is definitely NOT serious volleyball.
There are no umpires.


Can't play? - That's OK, we don't care. We're not that good anyway.
We'll even attempt to teach you although we're not qualified. We're there for fun.

Don't want to play? - That's OK too. Just come and hang out with us.

I am usually there.

    Phil, Sunset is at 8:04pm. So, I would arrive by 7pm to get an hour of volleyball fun in. Afterwards, or if it rains, we can go to Redstone for drinks / food. What do you think of that idea? JD

    "We managed to get a couple of games in prior to the rain beginning. We had a nice group of people there and we had a lot of fun. We found shelter in the nearby kiosk and hung out until sunset while it was raining and had a nice talk. What a great group!"
