Pittsburgh Sports Monster Volleyball
Winter Leagues are now open for registration. Click upcoming programs to register.
Sign up by yourself, with a few friends or with a whole team for indoor volleyball fun this season!
Sports Monster offers you indoor and outdoor locations throughout the Pittsburgh area from downtown to the north and south hills-- Where do you want to play? Whether you have a team, a group, or are signing up by yourself, we will get you on the courts for the upcoming season.
Join us in 2008 as Sports Monster has greatly expanded your volleyball choices including grass and sand leagues and MANY more indoor locations. Plus, when you play with Sports Monster, you are part of a national organization with a long history of well run leagues.
Sports Monster volleyball is offered in four (4) skill levels:
Backyard: The name says it all. Sports Monster`s Backyard level is the most recreational level available. Three hits over the net? Phhhht...It`s a bonus when the serve gets in & then to receive it can be an issue unto itself. It`s all about having fun playing Backyard. No referees for this level--we`re on the honor system here!
Bumper: Our intermediate level, Sports Monster`s 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`s Dinker level is our upper intermediate skill level for volleyball. This level is a happy medium for those players who`s skills fall somewhere between Bumper and Spiker.
Dinker level is the first level to have paid referees on court and players are expected to know the rules. Most teams have designated setters with some teams setting out of the middle front row position.
Passing, setting and spiking are decent and usually about 1/2 the team is pretty strong overall.
Spiker: Sports Monster`s 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. |
