The city of Sedona has opened online registration for its Adult Coed Volleyball League. Registration will close at the end of the month and the season will starts on Wednesday, Sept. 6.

“We get a big turnout [when] we do the open gym volleyball. That’s every Tuesday night [at the West Sedona School gymnasium from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.] and we end up usually getting like 25, 30 people,” Parks and Recreation Manager Josh Frewin said. “So [we get] a big crowd to come and play and some people were interested in trying a league … The city of Cottonwood does a spring volleyball league [and] they usually end up with a solid amount of teams.”

There is a $150 registration fee for teams and no individual player fees. Each team can have up to 16 players on its roster, with six players on the court at a time. Under the league’s co-ed rules, equal numbers of men and women must be playing at any given time.

The city’s website for the league states that the rulebook, schedule and details will be sent out prior to the start of the season and that the rules will also be discussed at a preseason coach’s meeting.

Eight weeks of play will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 6. Games will be limited to one hour, with the first game starting at 5:30 p.m. and the last game of the night likely starting at 8:30 p.m.

The season will be followed by a postseason double-elmination tournament with a to-be-determined award for the champions.

The city’s goal is to have six teams in total, but recently-hired Parks and Recreation Athletics and Aquatics Supervisor Carmen Brashier said that they would love to have more. She added that staff are currently focused on recreational play for the league but might look into competitive play in the future depending on the season’s outcome. There will be no scheduled practice times for the teams; participants can show up at game time on Wednesdays.

“I played volleyball all through high school,” Brashier said. “I just love the game. It’s fun to be with that many people and it does get kind of competitive. You can’t help it. But I think it’s just the overall fun you have when you’re playing volleyball [is] my best memory.”

Team registration can be completed online at sedonaaz.gov/sports. Individuals with questions or who are wanting to join the free agent list can contact Brashier at cbrashier@sedonaaz.gov or (928) 203-5077.
