OPEN GYMS
What is an Open Gym?
Open gyms are designed to be:
• A single-session commitment
• Organized and coach-led
• Focused on skill development, touches, teamwork, and game play
• A fun, positive, and affordable way to improve
These sessions are not tryouts, and athletes are not attending to be selected or evaluated for a team. Our goal is simple — give players more opportunities to play, learn, compete, and grow.
For many athletes, Open Gym is their first introduction to DCV Smash. It gives players the chance to:
• Experience the energy and expectations of a DCV Smash practice
• Meet other athletes in the volleyball community
• Work alongside our coaches
• Build confidence and prepare for future opportunities
• See if club volleyball is the right fit for them
While Open Gym is a lower-pressure environment, athletes are still expected to bring a strong attitude, effort, respect, and a willingness to learn. At DCV Smash, we believe great teammates are built through hard work, commitment, and a positive mindset.
Come Prepared
Pre-registration is required. Athletes must be registered before attending so we can plan sessions and provide the best experience possible.
Open Gym sessions include plenty of movement, drills, skill work, and game-like situations. Players should arrive ready to be active and work hard.
Athletes should bring:
• Clean indoor athletic shoes
• Knee pads
• Comfortable athletic clothing
• A full water bottle
• Hair tied back securely if needed
• A positive attitude and willingness to compete
Come train, compete, and experience what it means to be part of DCV Smash Volleyball.
