Who this list is for
Organizers planning a friendly backyard volleyball tournament will find this list helpful. It’s made for hosts setting up shared equipment and comfort items in a yard or open lawn, not for league teams bringing personal gear.
How to use this list
Start by staking out the court area with boundary lines and ground stakes. Set up the portable volleyball net and use the hand pump and pump needle to inflate both volleyballs. Mark team sides with traffic cones and assign team color bands. Place folding chairs and a pop-up canopy nearby for shade and seating. Prepare the scoreboard, score sheets, marker pens, and whistle at the scorekeeper’s table for easy access during matches.
What to skip
Don’t bring personal league gear like knee pads or uniforms—this list is for shared supplies only. Avoid using makeshift nets or skipping the hand pump; deflated balls can stall play. Don’t forget the ground stakes and cones, or the court will lack clear boundaries. Skipping the canopy or enough chairs leaves guests uncomfortable in the sun.
What is on this list
Included are a portable volleyball net, two volleyballs, a hand pump, and pump needle for equipment setup. Court boundary lines, ground stakes, and traffic cones help define the playing area. For game management, there’s a scoreboard, score sheets, marker pens, and a whistle. Team color bands help organize players. Folding chairs and a pop-up canopy provide comfort. Cross off anything you already own before shopping.
Before guests arrive
Double-check that the net is secure and both volleyballs are properly inflated. Set out chairs and the canopy in shaded spots. Place the scoreboard, score sheets, pens, and whistle at a central table. Lay out team color bands and confirm the court lines are visible. Keep extra cones and stakes handy for quick adjustments as the games begin.
