How it works
From signing in to playing in six steps.
- 1
Sign in with Google
One tap, no passwords. You pick a nickname (2 to 20 characters) that only you can see; nobody else does.
- 2
Browse the slots
Every day there are 1 hour 30 minutes slots on the 3 courts, with the rain forecast on the home screen.
- 3
Create a match or sign up
If a slot is free, you create it and become the organiser. If there is already a match, you pick a free spot. Your side of the net is your team.
- 4
Get only the useful notifications
There are only two: when we are short of players (2 hours before) and when your slot is closed. You turn them on in your profile; on iPhone you must install the app first.
- 5
Show your QR code at the court
When the slot starts, the organiser scans the QR code on your phone. That confirms you are there.
- 6
Enter the result
The organiser enters each team’s points (up to 48 hours later) and you see your season summary: matches, wins and losses.
Frequently asked questions
Does it cost anything?
No. Volley is a free, non-profit service for the town. There are no ads or fees.
Am I reserving the court?
No. The courts are public. Volley is only a way to organise among the people who use the app: see how many people there are and sign up.
Do I need a Google account?
Yes, for now it is the only way in. Volley does not store your Google name or photo.
Can I see who I am playing with?
No. You only see free and taken spots, with no names. People meet at the court, not in the app.
What if I cannot go?
You can cancel for free up to 2 hours before. After that it counts as a fault. It is explained in the rules.
Does it run all year?
No. The courts have no lighting and it gets dark early in winter, so the app runs in the summer season (for now, from 1 June to 30 September).
What happens to my data when the season ends?
You can download your season as a PDF for 15 days. After that, match records are deleted and faults are reset.
