About us
Freedom Area Rec: Adult Volleyball is an organization of volunteers who work with the Freedom Area Recreation Council and the Carroll County Department of Recreation and Parks to provide recreation opportunities in the Sykesville and Eldersburg area, as well as surrounding areas. We currently offer two separate nights of play: Friday Advanced (6's) and Saturday Advanced (RevCo quads). More info on each session below.
The purpose of this group is to convey any cancellations as well as provide an opportunity for participants to be able to RSVP each night. RSVP's are REQUIRED for all events—if you have not RSVP'd then you cannot attend. If you RSVP'd for a night and you cannot make it, please CANCEL your RSVP. Do not just not show up. Failure to cancel your RSVP or provide adequate awareness of your inability to attend will result in two warnings, and if it occurs a third time, you will be asked not to return for an extended period of time.
ALL participants must be registered through the Freedom Area Rec Council website for their particular session. It is $25 for each session's registration, and the registrations lasts for the entire calendar year. First-time attendees can check with Nick and sign a liability waiver without registering.
Friday Advanced 6's (BB/A+):
Plays from 6pm-11pm (8:00pm-11pm in the Winter months) on Friday nights at South Carroll Senior Center.
This is an advanced level session designed for high club players or better. This is NOT a program for beginners or those whose experience consists of backyard volleyball. Players must be knowledgable of the game, roles, positions, and possibly rotations, and must be able to execute most/all skills adequately (with ~75% consistency). We have many A/AA+ and college-level players who frequently attend, so it will get high level, competitive, and fun!

Saturday Advanced (BB/A+):
Plays from 9pm-11pm on Saturday nights at South Carroll Senior Center.
Saturday Advanced sessions will be conducted in the RevCo (reverse co-ed) quads format. Nets will be women's height; men can only hit from behind the 10ft line. No open hand tips or pushes allowed. No rotations are necessary, however serving order must be followed. In the case that there are a lack of women in attendance for a session, men will be able to swing in the front row and above the net as long as their feet stay on the ground (this rule will not apply as long as a team has at least one girl). In the case there is not enough players for full teams of 4, then teams will pull from another team as a sub if possible OR teams will play with 3 (the above rule of men hitting above the net in front row with feet on ground will apply).
This is an advanced level session designed for high Varsity-level players or better. This is NOT a program for beginners or those whose experience consists of backyard volleyball. Players must be knowledgable of the game, roles, positions, and possibly rotations, and must be able to execute most/all skills adequately (with ~75% consistency).
