What we’re about

A group for bowling, volleyball, soccer, tennis and other casual activities.

Many who choose to participate are playing for the first time ever or in years. Most members of this group do not participate in a league or partake in the various activities multiple times a week. However, it's perfectly fine if you do.

We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities!! We're not here to analyze your form or skills. We're here for friendly competition and socializing. Over time, we've begun to see a lot of familiar faces, and hope you've noticed them too.

One of the group's goals is to have few rules and no real structure. Most of the time, you just have to show up and have a good time. In other words, you don't have to do anything ahead of time.

You pay for your own bowling games. Soccer and volleyball are outside and free. Food and drinks can be purchased at the alleys, but for the other two, you'd BYO if you had an interest. Most of what we do is considered active recreation. Other events will come with their own set of details.

Somedays, we may have to wait until lanes, courts or fields free up. It's certainly possible, we may have to relocate or cancel if they're busy upon arrival. Please keep that in mind if you're traveling from far away.

Questions, comments or ideas? You can message Andy Milone on Meetup, or call/text him at 201-234-9609.

Casual Volleyball - North Jersey

overpeck park, leonia, NJ, US

We're a group of people who will start by hitting the ball around for the first 20-30 minutes and then will break up into 2-4 teams for two or three hours of play.

If we have more than 20 people show up, we'll break up into three or four teams of 6 (Some may have 7, 8 or 9. Additional players just rotate into play). Games will be to 10 points. Rally scoring. Winner stays on (unless a team has won four straight).

We'll be heading outdoors to the hard court in Leonia off Overpeck County Pk Driveway in the Overpeck County Park.

*** After playing, we'll be likely heading to Tropical Juice Bar, an idea of regular attendee Kate, for a drink and snack. It's located at 60 River St. in Hackensack. Feel free to join us or suggest another spot for a post-volleyball hangout. ***

There's no fee to play volleyball and nothing else you need to do besides show up. Come anytime!! All are welcome!!! We're not in a league and are not here to analyze your form. We're more for people who haven't played in months, maybe years, and just want to occasionally play again and hang out.

Directions: You can Google "Volleyball Court in Leonia" and it should come up. Or type 41 Willow Tree Road, Leonia, NJ 07605 into your GPS, but note that it's not on Willow Tree Road, just near it. Instead, turn onto Overpeck County Pk Driveway off Fort Lee Road (Degraw Avenue). It is past the tennis courts and near a basketball court and track. You can try Googling Leonia High School as well. That should help you find it.

We don't have the court reserved and if it happens to be taken, we may play with those already occupying it or we will try to relocate on the fly. It's certainly possible that we may have to cancel that day if we can't find a suitable spot. Please keep that in mind. And if it's looking like it'll rain or snow, I'll make a call on whether to cancel around an hour ahead of time.

Please bring a ball and net if you have them for possible use during the game. Feel free to bring a speaker for music, or snacks and drinks for consumption during play.

If you have trouble finding the court or group, you can call or text Andy Milone at 201-234-9609. There is plenty of parking and an open bathroom at the park.

Hope you'll join us for our 16th volleyball event. Questions or comments? You can message Andy on Meetup, or call/text him at 201-234-9609.
