Welcome to

CITY SAND

London’s Best Beach Volleyball Experience | North London Athletic Fields

City Sand leagues are home to pro players, first timers, and everyone in between. Come for the sport, the sunsets, and the feel good vibes of playing outside.

This is the game we love, the community we love, and we’re excited to get our bare feet back out in the sand.

Thanks for stopping in today. We’ll see you out there.

Summer ‘24

City Sand offers two ways to play: Join us on Monday Nights for Men’s 4s and Women’s 4s, or Friday Nights with our Co-Ed 4s league.

Both leagues are open to all levels of play, and a ladder system helps to ensure you’ll be matched up against similarly skilled teams all summer. All games take place at the North London Athletic Fields.

You can find us by email, on the socials @citysandbeach, or come say hello in the sand 😎.

    ✨ Mid Summer Night’s Dream✨: Friday July 19 & Monday July 22. Join us for a stay and play late, catch the sunset, bring your fam, feel-good night of community.

  • You’ll play two matches against two different teams each night. Plan for about 90 minutes of total gameplay each night.

    Psst: Stick around after the late games for extra play! These are some of our favourite hours of the summer. We’ll typically play until the sun goes down ☀️.

  • Game start times are dependant on the number of teams registered in each league.

    We have 14 beach courts, so:

    In the case of 28 teams or fewer there will be one shift of play for all athletes with a likely start time of 6:30pm.

    In the case of 29 teams or more, there will be two shifts of play, likely 5:30pm and 7pm.

    🚨These times aren’t yet carved in stone, and may shift by no more than 30 mins. We’ll have a clearer picture as registration continues.

    🚨 Once the summer is rolling, game start times will be posted on the website. You’ll have your playing schedule for 3 weeks at a time.

  • We use a ladder system that ensures your team is playing against similarly skilled opponents all summer long. We’ve got 2 weeks of “move up move down play”, followed by 3 blocks of 3-week pool play, before we close out the summer with a night of playoffs.

    Weeks 1 + 2: These first 2 nights, you’ll move up a court if you win your first match and down a court if you lose. These first two weeks will land you in a pool - A, B, C, etc. - and you’ll spend the next 3 weeks in this pool, playing everyone at least once.

    Weeks 3, 4, 5: Our first block of pool play! At the end of this 3 week block, your team will either move up a pool, down a pool, or remain in the same pool, all based on your wins losses.

    Weeks 6, 7, 8: Our second block of pool play! At the end of this 3 week block, your team will either move up a pool, down a pool, or remain in the same pool, all based on your wins/losses.

    Weeks 9, 10, 11: Our final block of pool play, and a really important one ⚠️! Where you finish in this pool will dictate your playoff match for week 12.

    Week 12: Playoffs! The top four teams in each pool will play a semi and a final. Teams ranked 5 and 6 will play one match to settle 5th and 6th place.

    (psst: the number of teams in each pool is entirely dependant on registration numbers.)

  • League fees remained unchanged from last year. Registration is $699/team +hst. One teammate will register on behalf of their team.
