Whether you are a returning player from a previous season or completely brand new to the league, we are very excited to have you joining this Summer!

This season we have 2 options when you register:

"TEAM CAPTAIN"

"FREE AGENT"

Want to create your own team? Then make sure you register as a "TEAM CAPTAIN." Once you register as a captain and create your team you can either invite players to your team via email, or add them directly from the free agents list. ONLY 1 person per team can sign up as the captain. All others must sign up as FREE AGENTS using the email invite, or directly through the registration page. 

Are you joining as a team player, or haven't found a team yet? Then register as a "FREE AGENT." All players, new and returning, that are not the captain will register as a free agent. Don't worry, you can still get on your favorite team! Team captains can invite you or you can search teams yourself to see who is playing where!! Find a team you want to be on, reach out to the captain, and get yourself on their line up before the team reaches 10 players!

Please feel welcome to message Commissioner Steve Zanella on Facebook messenger if you have any questions or concerns at all. No matter how big or small. Whether it be you're nervous about starting a new team, worried about not getting picked, not sure how to ask people to join your team or to join their team, etc..... You are not alone! Stonewall Volleyball - Pittsburgh is going on its 3rd season this Summer 2018 and there is not much the leadership team has not already heard and helped resolve. You can also email Steve at Sandvolleyball@stonewallsportspgh.org.
