volleyballfriends goes Beachvolleyball

We’re thinking about taking our love for volleyball to the sand — and want to see who’s ready to join!
That’s right: Beachvolleyball sessions in Munich (Laim), usually on Sunday evenings (in winter: indoor beach sessions).

If you’re interested in playing beachvolleyball, this is the place to sign up for information and invitations.
👉 Only people on the “Beachvolleyball List” will receive invitations — so if you want to play, please sign up here!

🌴 What to expect

Our beachvolleyball sessions will be “original” beachvolleyball – 2 vs 2, just like in the Olympics. (Good news: you don’t need to be an Olympian! 😄)

In winter, indoor beach courts are a bit pricey — so we want to make sure skill levels fit together well (that’s why the form below asks for a few details).

We plan sessions for 8 people total, playing for 2 hours. With 4 players (2vs2) on the court at any given time, your active playtime is around 50% — perfect for a mix of playing, resting, and cheering for your fellow volleyballfriends. This setup also makes it easy to mix teams, so by the end you’ll have played with and against everyone — true volleyballfriends style. 🤝

💶 Depending on how many join, the session price for you will range between 14,50 € (8 persons) and 29 € (4 persons) per 2-hour session (the court fee stays the same).

📬 How it works

For now, beachvolleyball sessions will be announced only by email to everyone on the Beachvolleyball List. You’ll receive invitations and sign-up instructions via those emails.

(We’re still setting up the system — so things might evolve a bit. But hey, that shouldn’t stop us from enjoying the sand, the sun lamps, and the volleyballfriends spirit! 🌞🏐)

So: for “normal” volleyball (6vs6) go here: volleyballfriends. For beachvolleyball fill in the following form:
