• Admission must be purchased in-person at the Customer Service Desk before participants may enter the courts. Due to high demand, participants are not permitted to pay and hold spots for others.
• After purchasing admissions, participants will receive a wristband as proof of payment. Wristbands must be worn and be visible for the duration of the drop-in.
• Children 8 years and younger must be supervised by a parent/guardian that is 16 years or older in all drop-ins.

• Where participants would like to engage in different sports, and based on space availability, the gymnasium can be divided into a maximum of two half courts. Full court volleyball is not permitted during Open Gyms. Half court volleyball can only be set up based upon staff availability.
• All participants must respect the Community Code of Conduct and follow direction of program staff. If participants are not following guidelines and/or the Code of Conduct, staff may ask them to leave the program.

Beginning on August 30, due to the popularity and high demand of the program, admission for Tuesday evening Adult Volleyball will be available via pre-registration and drop-in services.
