The Philly Volleyball Leagues are a great way to get in shape and meet new people. This competitive league offers adult co-ed indoor volleyball played at North Light Community Center.
This level is primarily for advanced players, seasoned athletes with strong volleyball skills and requires knowledge of competitive volleyball offenses and defenses. For those familiar with our organization, these are a mix of our upper BB and A-level players or better.
Proof of vaccination for COVID-19 will be required by all on the first day of play. Without proof, you will be turned away with no refund.

With your registration comes the following:
We offer three forms of registration:
Use this option if you would like us to place you on a team for an entire season. Individuals, also known as free agents, could be recruited, assigned to an existing team, or be combined into a new team. Each player pays a registration fee.
This registration form is excellent for teams wanting to pay individually or friends wishing to play together but do not have an entire team. Groups with less than eight players may have free agents added to the team. Each player pays a registration fee when invited to join by their captain.
The player registering the team pays a single flat fee. Subsequent players do not pay when invited to join.
All players are asked:
Captains are asked:
Every Thursday, there will be four (4) matches scheduled, the earliest beginning at 6:30 pm. Assuming the schedule holds, the last match will start at 9:30 pm. Qualified referees will officiate. Each team will pay the referee $15 per match.
All games will play using All-Rally Scoring rules. There are no side outs and matches will consist of three (3) games. Each game will count in the overall standings for the regular season.
Matches will be played within the allotted time (Penalties for every 10 minutes a team is past the scheduled start time.) All games are played to 25, win by two, or first to 31. One time-out per game, per team, is allowed. In playoffs, games will be played as the best 2 out of 3 to 25 win by two or first to 31. One time-out per game is allowed. (In certain circumstances, games will be played, first to 25 when games are running behind schedule)
Each team consists of 6 players on the court at one time (never more than four players on the court identifying as men or non-binary). If a team has four players with a minimum of 1 identifying as a woman, it will be considered a legal game. However, the opposing team will have the option to utilize the ghost rule, which means that when it comes time for the missing player(s) to serve, that team will lose the service, and a point is awarded to the opposing team. Teams may have as many players on their roster as they want. There is no maximum limit on the number of those identifying as females on the court at one time.
Teams will forfeit one game every 10 minutes past the designated start time that they do not have the legal amount of players. If no players are present from a team by 15 minutes after the specified start time, the missing team will forfeit the entire match, and the team that is present will receive all three wins. (Exception: Teams with less than four players or without two identifying as women may still play a "legal" game but only with the opposing team's consent.) All teams that consent to play a legal game with less than the allowed minimum waive their right to a forfeit win. Teams may pick up players during the regular season to field a full team. A team that forfeits their match is charged with a $30 forfeit fee; $15 for your team's ref fees, $15 for the opponent.
USA VOLLEYBALL rules apply unless stated otherwise.
