Looking for people interested to play voleyball (Fintas)

Post new topic

Ribosom

Hello all,

I was I an public park next to Egaila Beach today and noticed there are two decent volleyball fields. In my previous life (before moving to Kuwait) I used to regularly play volleyball on weekends and I am missing it....I got all rusty. :)

I try to kick your butts and my own and get us moving, but before starting I need to see if there are enough interested people in FIntas / Mahboula / Egaila / Mangaf area. We'd need at least 6 people, but the more the merrier - we can split in more than two teams if needed.

The fields are decent but the sand surface is not maintained and it could use some love, bit if this picks up I guess it would not be too hard to find someone to fill it up with fresh sand in Kuwait. :) We will need to invest in net and balls, I can check the cost at Decathlon.

The goal is to get some excercise and socialise...I am thinking beginner / intermediate level, but of course everyone is welcome. Ideally I would do it every weekend on Friday/Saturday. We can discuss the details if enough people chime in and test that new Events feature on expat.com.

Your turn!

Hi everyone,

@ Ribosom, you could also create an event (Sports & outdoor) whenever you organise a match. Here is the link : /en/events/middle-east/kuwait/

All the best

Hello Bhavna,

As I said the in the initial post,

We can discuss the details if enough people chime in and test that new Events feature on expat.com


It doesn't make much sense to organize anything without a core group of people and invest in the equipment on top of it.

Ribosom

Great, if two more people join in we can start seriously considering it. Fingers crossed!

Dear ribensom,

Its not that difficult to find players forbvollyball .. Well I do have a colleague that she plays volleyball .. She is philipina .. I men to say any one of the interested people may get a friend or so to join our group

Actually iam soo interested to bring this true and get it done soon ...

So lets agree for a day to gather any where and discuss things ... We might have a dinner at light resturant or gathering for 1 hour time to set up the agreement between all the interested people ...

We might agree to buy uniform for us ...

I passed by the place a while ago, I think we may attract more people by just showing up and playing. Ok, I will organise a gathering for interested people and we will take it from there. First we need to invest in the net & ball, I will check the cost this weekend. I'll keep everyone posted.

this will be awesome! *excited*

Hello!
I am moving to kuwait soon and i'm desperate to find volleyball teams to play with! i play regularly here in lebanon (4 days a week) and i would be so depressed if i couldn't continue to play after i move.
I know this post was posted more than a year ago but is there any chance you guys are still practicing?
I am a pretty good player (not so tall tho i must warn u:P) and would love to be part of a team!

Ribosom

No, couldn't gather a group of people large enough, but I am still hopeful. In the mean time I have started running, but that is not an option during hotter months.

They also fixed up the courts and they look great now. I noticed some people are playing so I guess we can always ask to join them.

MisterStretch

I'd love to join you guys as I live just across the street but have shredded knees.

Happy to be a cheerleader/spectator.

Keep me in the loop.

SUZYSTEIN

oh that's a shame thanks for the info tho :)! i was worried volleyball would not be popular in Kuwait and as you mentioned summer is harsh and outdoor activities are not really an option.
