Volleyball court rental in Chicago?

January 26, 2009 8:07 AM

Anyone know of a facility in Chicago area that rents indoor volleyball courts? The only one I know for sure is Windy City Fieldhouse. Curious if there are others.

Depending on how far your definition of "Chicago area" extends, North Beach has a couple of good sand courts.

There's a place called North Beach in Downer's Grove. A bit of a drive from Chicago... but, they have indoor volleyball courts.

... might not be exactly what you're looking for though. They're indoor with sand. Lots and lots of sand. It's more of a party/bar type atmosphere (you can rent out a court with an adjoining room and get food/drinks) rather than a competitive team type atmosphere.

Perhaps Great Lakes Center in Aurora? It's at roughly Eola Rd and New York. My VB league plays there and they have excellent facilities. Don't know whether they rent court time ad hoc or not.

Pretty much any church or school or community center with a gymnasium will have provisions for renting them out to groups. A lot of these gyms will have provisions for a volleyball court.

Talk to the park district. Local gymnasiums are for rent at different times of day during the week.

There is also a North Beach in downtown, near the Crobar. Or there was, haven't been there in a while.
