General Information

The FFC Sand Volleyball League is composed of men and women 18 and older and is intended to provide fun competition and fellowship with others outside on a sand court. During this unique time of fellowship, each participant is introduced to the claims of Christ and is encouraged to share with each other during post or pre-game huddles how Christ is impacting their lives.  Some playing experience is preferred. This league normally runs from May through August.  Beginning 2023, there will be two divisions.  The focus on one division is recreational play, the other division is a more serious competitive play.
