Toronto Sand Sharks is a group of 300+ LGBT beach volleyball players (men and women) who sweat it out playing competitive 2's every weekend. We play FIVB rules and you must pair with a different partner every game. We also occasionally conduct clinics for novices. Bring your game!
Anyone and everyone! The group is geared towards providing a safe and fun atmosphere for LGBTQ+ adults and allies. All genders, backgrounds, ages (typically 18+ is encouraged), and athletic abilities are welcome to come give it a try.
We’ll do our best to pair you up with others around your skill level; we've had members who have played high school, university, college, professional and national level volleyball, and people who have never touched a volleyball before.  Most people are somewhere in between.
We play 2v2 beach volleyball. Â Most of the skills from indoor volleyball are the same, though the gameplay can be a bit different, so we offer free clinics most weekends for new players who want to learn how to play the game.
Ashbridges Bay in the Toronto Beaches. This is a public beach, so please do your best to familiarize yourself with and follow the rules of the beach so that we keep our good reputation with all beach goers.
There is paid parking available at the park, and lots of places to lock up bikes. Â The Lakeshore bike path will take you right there!
We play most weekends between early-May to late-September. Â Our Summer schedule can be found in the members section of our website. Â Games are all drop-in, so come when you can, play as many games as you'd like, and leave anytime you want.
