What’s the volleyball scene like at Cummings Park?

Submitted by scout-and-harold t3_ybzx20 in StamfordCT

I’m moving to Stamford at the end of the year and hoping to slowly pick volleyball back up. I read in an older post that Cummings Park has pickup volleyball almost all year round — is this still the case? What is the scene like?

Also, if anyone has recommendations for other pickup spots (not looking to join a league yet) that would be awesome too :))

I see people setting up as early as 3? Not really sure, I don’t play I just always see big groups of people playing out there

I live at one of the houses on the edge of the park. I can sadly tell you in my 5 years here I can count on 1 hand how many times I’ve seen the volley ball side of the beach used for volley ball

But they do have a volleyball league. I lost the link but when I get the link I'll post it. I've been wanting to get into volleyball but I got way out of shape/had a back injury and have been working on That first (170 -> 210 😭)

I played all summer on the beach courts there with a social sports league. Since the weather has changed, there is now a fall league that plays inside a gym and there will also be a winter league.

The Y downtown doesnt have the greatest reputation. But the Italian Center and The Jewish Centers all have leagues. Look online.
