Sunshine and beach are calling! Come join us at Jenness Beach for volleyball. This is several weeks earlier than we have started in past years, so be prepared for cooler temperatures. Although the beach looks to be in fairly good shape, be prepared to help clear seaweed and rocks because the start-of-season grooming is usually not until late May. If you've got a rake, please bring it.
NOTE: If we don’t have “Yes” RSVPs for at least 10 players by 3pm on the day of the game, we will cancel for the week.
LEVEL OF PLAY
This event is the social, easy end of recreational volleyball, but enthusiasm and a good sense of humor are required. No using feet or legs to hit the ball. Newcomers are welcome. No negative behavior is tolerated.
Team size is usually 6 players per team on the court at one time. Any additional players rotate in. If we have 18 or more players present, we typically split into 3 teams and rotate whole teams in for shorter games.
WHAT TO BRING
The beach is often cooler and more breezy than inland, so there may be days when you would be glad to have an extra layer of clothing with you.
BATHROOMS
Bathrooms at Jenness Beach may or may not be open for the season or may close for the evening while we are still playing. There may be a port-a-potty behind the shops across the street. The central and southern bathhouses at Hampton Beach are usually open later.
PARKING
• Metered parking at the beach, April through October. Credit cards and cash are accepted. Time purchased at any NH beach meter is good at any other NH beach with meters.
• Free parking along the main road (NH-1A) except where signed otherwise.
WEATHER
Passing showers don't necessarily cancel this event, but drenching rain, thunderstorms that don't pass quickly, or cold weather may cancel this event.
