Casual volleyball in Paris
If you can high-five, you can play.
Short friendly rounds in the park, with teams that shuffle between games so you meet everyone on the court. There’s a proper break in the middle, and drinks nearby after.
The Format
What to expect
- Step 1
Meet at the net
We set up in a park and warm up with easy passes while people arrive.
- Step 2
Short rotating games
Friendly rounds with mixed teams, reshuffled between games. Mixing levels is deliberate.
- Step 3
Break, play, drinks
A proper break to sit and chat, more rounds after, and a wrap-up with drinks nearby for whoever wants.

Questions
Volleyball FAQ
- I’ve never played volleyball. Can I come?
- Yes. Games are casual, teams rotate constantly, and nobody keeps serious score.
- What should I bring?
- Comfortable clothes and water. The ball and net are covered.
- Do I have to play non-stop?
- No. There’s a long break in the middle, and sitting out a round to chat on the grass is completely normal.
