Volleyball Social April 26, 2024 - 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm Wakefield Crowbar 954 Wakefield Drive Houston, Texas, 77018 Volleyball for the not so serious volleyball player! If you like to play volleyball but don’t want to commit to a league, you want to learn how to play or you just want to meet others who are up to getting active outdoors, then our Volleyball Social is the place to be! Although this is a volleyball event, this event is not designed for hard core volleyball players who want to be on the court all night. This event is about meeting people, sharing interests and planning other adventures! Every month, we have between 30-80 people show up for this event. We post on all internet calendars so if you want a better representation of who’s going, click the event list and scroll to the bottom to see RSVPs. Event Link: https://htxoutdoors.com/events/volleyball-social-17/ Don’t you want to play volleyball? No problem! Plenty of people come out just to socialize on the large patio, play a game of cornhole or ping pong! Plus, they have a full kitchen and bar, including 30+ taps. What to expect: Parking: Crowbar has a free dedicated parking lot. If it’s full, there is a paid lot close by or free street parking. Although 5-10 minutes to find parking. How to find the group: Look for the HTXoutdoors and Bayou City Outdoors items on the tables. We are usually on courts 1 and 2. They are side by side. About the group you’re meeting: Because this event is open to everyone, we get a lot of people who are coming out for the first time! That means not everyone knows each other yet so you don’t have to worry about crashing a group of people who have been friends for years. So if everyone is chatting up a storm when you get there, it’s just because they have quickly realized they have a lot in common. And even when some of the people know each other, they are still there to meet more people with similar interests. Come out and meet others interested in hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, rock climbing, and more! It’s a good chance to meet each other. It’s an even better chance to plan some adventures.

When you go on a hike, and you don’t really know anyone, you tend to just talk to the person who’s walking next to you.

Using a red light will help you keep your night vision; it won’t scare off the animals as much, and you won’t get as many shadows. - Water: Stay hydrated before and after the hike. Bring water for the hike. It’s more comfortable to have a backpack to carry it in than to carry it with your hand. - Sturdy Shoes: These are actual dirt trails, and it’s night: no platforms, no slippers or flip flops. We will check shoes before the hike, and inappropriate shoes will need to stay back. No Dogs: Most of our events are dog-friendly. Since this is nighttime and there are snakes, there are no dogs on this hike. Adults only, no Kids: We are an adult social club, and our night hike is not suitable for kids.
