Open Play Volleyball

Hanovers Draught Haus runs open play volleyball every Friday and Sunday from 6 PM to 11 PM, so if you're looking for a game this Sunday, August 30, you've got plenty of court time to work with. It's a sand volleyball setup, and the open play format means you don't need a full team of your own to get out there—you can just show up and jump into the rotation.

That's the main draw here. While Hanovers also hosts registered league play for people who want a set schedule and a consistent team, open play is the non-committal version. You don't have to sign up for a whole season or worry about filling a roster; you just turn up when you feel like playing. It's a good way to get some games in without the commitment of a league, and it's a natural spot to meet other volleyball players in the city.

Beyond the open play, the venue keeps the sand courts busy with league play and court rentals for tournaments or special events. They talk about the physical health side of it, making new friends, and having a good time on the courts, and they point people toward their policies for a safe time at the house. One thing to keep in mind: play is restricted to those over 21, so you'll be playing with a crowd of adults. Between the league nights and the open play, it's a place where you can find a game whether you're looking for something structured or just a few sets on a random evening.

Open play runs every Friday and Sunday from 6 PM to 11 PM at Hanovers Draught Haus, 108 East Main Street in Pflugerville, just north of Austin. It's $5 per player.
