There are two kinds of volleyball in Berlin: indoor (der Volleyball) and beach (der Strandvolleyball or Beachvolleyball).

The former is a serious competitive sport played at Bundesliga (national) level. The Berlin team is SCC Berlin (www.scc-volleyball.de). Most neighbourhoods have indoor volleyball teams, who play in a league against one another. Contact your local sports centre through www.lsb-berlin.net. They are likely to practise once a week for a few hours. The latter is played surprisingly frequently in the bars and clubs that are set up at the city’s ‘beaches’ during summer. Other mostly seasonal places to play beach volleyball are searchable at www.beachvolleyball-berlin.de.
