Basketball leagues

Volo sports leagues operate a lot like the sports leagues of your youth. Most of our leagues are 5 to 8 weeks and culminate in a series of playoff games to crown a champion! By competing in leagues, your team can also qualify for championship tournaments throughout the year to compete for city-wide, regional, and even national titles. A team t-shirt is always included with registration and you will receive it at your first game. Volo provides specially trained staff members, referees, equipment, and prizes for your game. After your games each week, you and your team will head over to one of our sponsor bars for some post-game fun! Volo hosts the best post-game social parties and you will have access to Volo exclusive food and drink specials. By participating in leagues, you will also enjoy special invitations to Volo events, often including an end of season party. We strive to keep the games fair, safe, and stress free so that all you need to do is show up, play, socialize, and have a great time!

Competition Levels

Recreational basketball leagues are for players who have minimal to no experience. This level is geared toward people who want to have friendly competition and then head to the bar. Players at this level don’t take the game too seriously and just want to get a workout in, improve their skills, and socialize.
Intermediate basketball leagues are for players who have played before and are seeking a little more competition. People at this level have a good understanding of the rules and have the basic skills down. Players will be giving maximum effort at this level & winning is important to the team.
Upper Intermediate basketball leagues are for players who have been playing basketball for a while and are looking for competitive games. People playing at this level demonstrate a high level of skills in the game and may have previously played JV or in the intermediate level and are ready to level up.
Competitive basketball leagues are for players looking for a seriously competitive game. This level is only meant for players who have experience playing basketball and are looking for the highest level of play. People playing at this level likely played at the high school or college level, or consistently play well and are ready to level up from another division. You might get dunked on at this level.
