Open Gyms
Indoor generally doesn't heat up until mid - late September and cools off about June

**Warning**:Each Gym has it's own personality and it's own set of Rules. If you have never heard of or played a 6-2 offense before some of these place are a good place to see how it's done but only at a few courts would I actually recommend you going there with the purpose of learning it. It tends to bring the level of play down and can ruin the enjoyment for other players. On the other hand if you are well experienced player who has a lot of usav tournaments under your belt this could be a good way to network with players or find some to round out your team.

Comments:Never been, pulled it from Canbyvolleyball.com. Check the calender on their website to see wether they are playing week to week. DO NOT email me if it's cancelled one week or not, contact jeff robinson@ volleyball@canby.com Last updated 9/12/07 From an Email 04/11/08 I went to Canby Wed. 4/9 to play VB at Ackerman school. It was $3 per person from 8pm to 10pm. This is rec. ball and there are a wide variety of players. There were about 20 people playing on two nets with one more available. I played on a fairly strong team of four and we never had a loss against the five and six player teams. Everyone was quite freindly. The organizer is Jeff Robison. The season runs from 4/2-6/11.

Fulton Park Recreation Center 503-823-3180 \| Fee: $2-$3 SW Portland, Or \| Nets: 1		6:00 - 8:00pm Power 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm		6:30 pm - 8:30pm
Comments: Received email 9/11/07 regarding gym time changes If you haven't been, Fulton is a weird little gym in a converted schoolhouse; the court boundaries are about 2 feet from the walls. (The existing Monday "Power" session at Fulton fills up most weeks, but it's not hard-core at all; very rarely is there a back-row setter. But it's better than the Rec time that follows!)
Garden Home Recreation Center 503-244-1101 \| Fee: ? SW Portland, Or \| Nets: 1		8:00pm - 10:00pm Rec			7:30pm - 10:00pm competitive

Comments:They just changed to Thursday so if their strong reputation follows we might finally have a good place to play on Thursdays
La Center 1.360.263.2015 \| Fee: $3 La Center, Wa \| Nets: 2
Comments:Per Email 11/15/07 from a site visitor: Hi my name is Israel. I open the gym in LaCenter now. We play Power on Sundays 2-6. The price is 1$ per/hr. Lately 2-3:30 is power doubles/3's, then more people show up from 3:30-6 for ok play. If we get a few more stronger players I'll set-up the second net and have a B court and a BB/A court. We don't want players that can play at B level or better. 6-2 is preferred when we have the turn out.

Comments:I have no idea what to expect from the remodeled gym but I would think that more people would show up but that doesn't translate into better play. Most years the summer and early fall months are going to be weak play but it should pick up other months. Last updated 9/12/07
Mt. Hood Community College \| Fee: free Gresham, Or \| Nets: 4 (up to 6)
Comments:Not a bad gym with 6 possible courts although 4 are used. 2 are generall rec with a power court that is the challenge court. In the past they have had an Open Gym on Sundays from 1-4pm
