• Backyard: The name says it all. Sports Monster Backyard level is the most recreational level available. Three hits over the net? Phhhht...Its a bonus when the serve gets in & then to receive it can be an issue unto itself. Its all about having fun playing Backyard. No referees for this level--we are on the honor system here!


• Bumper: Our intermediate level, Sports Monster Bumper is ideal for teams and players looking for more than recreational level play.
  
  Bumper teams all attempt to bump, set and spike each time. However, two contacts are not uncommon. No paid referees for beach or indoor this summer but-- no jungle ball allowed here!
  
  You will find most bumper teams to be comprised of one or two skilled players, one or two decent players and one or two unskilled players--any combination of the above making for an interesting dynamic. Jump serving is not allowed.
  


• Dinker: Sports Monster Dinker level is our newest skill level addition for volleyball, as we attempt to find a happy medium for those players who`s skills fall somewhere between Bumper and Spiker.
  


• Spiker: Sports Monster Spiker level is our solid competitive level.
  
  All areas of the game: serving, passing, hitting and blocking are played well but each team will have one or two areas of weakness or inconsistency that may be taken advantage of. There are no unskilled players at this level, some college experience players but the majority are IM, club or high school experienced players who execute and understand the game well.
  
  Spiker level teams will run 5-1, 6-2 and 4-2 offenses. Defensive court coverage is good. Jump serving is allowed. Our referees will expect a thorough knowledge of the sport and will call sets tightly.

• Varsity: Sports Monster Varsity level is out most competitive level. All areas of the game: serving, passing, hitting, and blocking are played extremely well and there will be little areas of weakness. There are no unskilled players at this level. Defensive court coverage is excellent.
