<h2>No Gym? No Problem. Check Out These Local Outdoor Volleyball Courts!</h2>Ask any coach and they’ll tell you more touches will lead to better results. And there are few ways to get in a better volleyball practice than playing outdoors. If you play 2 x 2 player games, you’ll have more court to cover. By volleyball math, we figure that’s three times as much practice per player compared to 6 x 6 indoor matches.We’ve found local sand and grass courts in the Philly area (listed below by county) to keep your skills sharp in the off-season, while gym time is limited. So grab a couple friends, sunglasses, and a ball — and, as Baz Lurmann told your parents, always wear sunscreen — and then have some fun in the sun!Before you go, please note: Some courts may require reservations or something may have changed since the last time your local parks and rec department made web updates or since the time of this publication.Parents, you may want to call to confirm availability or visit the location before your player makes plans with their friends or coaches.🔍 If you can share intel on any of these spots or add to the list, please email us at <a href="mailto:info@phillyball.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@phillyball.com</a>.<h2>Bucks County</h2>Bensalem Community Park – Bensalem Twp.<ul><li># of Courts: 1 sand court</li><li>Location: 4301 Richlieu Rd., Bensalem, PA 19020</li><li>Open Play Details: Open to the public during park hours (dawn–dusk); first-come, first-served use.</li><li>Contact/Info: Bensalem Twp.
