Minnesota Open Volleyball

Here is a list of all known open volleyball (also known as pick-up volleyball or drop-in volleyball) opportunities in the Twin Cities. Please add any you know of. If a location (Indoor or Beach) has a court available anytime, please list times where there is likely to be a game happening. Notes on availability and quality on each item are appreciated as well. Please provide a source for all listings if known.

Volleyball times change, are canceled, and end often, so if you are trying a new location, please call in advance during the day/before the weekend to confirm there will be volleyball that night/weekend.

Anyone may edit this page! Need help with editing?
