Adult volleyball

The complex has a steady stream of adults playing volleyball during its open gym time so a number of participants for the league are already in place.

"Everyone that comes to the open gym keeps asking us when the league is starting," Paisance said. "We have been overwhelmed with the interest."

Willowbrook Sports Complex hopes to have enough people to field 10 teams, at a cost of $280 per squad. Ideally teams will consist of six people, but they can compete with as few as five players if someone cannot make it.

"It's hard to say how many people we will have because it is coed so it may be hard for women to find guys to play with or vice-versa," Paisance said. "You can have all men, but there must be at least two women on the court at all times. It is more fun and more competitive that way."

Two games will be played per match.Each team will get two matches per night.All games will count toward a team's win-loss record and help with seeding for the tournament at the end of the season.

All of the players will compete against each other during the first season. If needed, the organizers plan to break up the competition into different skill levels in future seasons.

"There's a lot of people that have come to our open gym that have never played volleyball, and we have some guys and girls that are really good," Paisance said. "Then, there are some people like me that played in high school and want to get back into playing again."

The league is looking for a bar or restaurant to sponsor it, which will help with the social aspect that the Willowbook Sports Complex is aiming for.

"Afterwards, people can go out for drinks or food somewhere," Paisance said. "This should give adults a chance to get to know each other in the Northwest Houston area. It will be a fun time to hang out with friends."
