What is Goat Sand Volleyball?

Goat Sand Volleyball is an inclusive sand volleyball league built around community, connection, competition, and fun on the sand. All skill levels are welcome.

The league consists of six weeks of regular season play, with team standings determining placement for the Week 7 mini tournament held on the final night of the league.

What’s the overall vibe?

Goat Sand Volleyball is social-first and welcoming to all experience levels. Whether you’re playing for fun, fitness, competition, or to meet people, the league is designed to create a high-energy and community-focused atmosphere both on and off the court.

Are there different skill divisions?

No. Goat Sand Volleyball operates as one inclusive league with all skill levels playing together.

Is there a tournament at the end of the league?

Yes. Weeks 1–6 are regular season league play. Team standings throughout the season determine placement for the Week 7 mini tournament held on the league’s final night.

How do I sign up?

Team – Single SessionRegister for one session only.

Free Agent (Individual)Sign up individually and be placed on a Goat Getters Team with other free agents.

Important: Registration for free agents closes 10 days prior to the advertised session deadline to allow time for Goat Getters Teams to be created.

What is a Goat Getters Team?

Goat Getters Teams are made up of players who signed up as free agents (individual players).

• Players may change session to session

• Attendance can vary week to week

• The focus is on playing, meeting people, and having fun

Once registration closes and the team is formed, a captain will be appointed from the group of free agents, ensuring smooth communication and coordination. Goat Getters Teams are scheduled and treated just like any other team.

How many players can be on a team?

Teams may roster 4–10 players, including substitutes used throughout league play.

Roster must be complete by registration deadline [How to share your team HERE]

Can we play if we are short players?

Yes. Teams may play with a minimum of 4 players.

Matches are ideally played 6v6, but may also be played 4v4 or 5v5 depending on attendance that night. Team captains should agree on the format before the match begins.

If captains cannot agree, the match format defaults to the team with fewer players.

Are there gender requirements?

No. Goat Sand Volleyball leagues do not have gender requirements.

How does scoring work?

Matches consist of 3 sets, and all 3 sets must be played.

• Rally scoring to 21

• Win by 2

• 25-point cap per set

• Each set won counts as 1 point toward league standings

• Maximum of 3 points per match

Even if a team wins the first two sets, the third set must still be played because every set impacts standings and mini tournament placement.
