I had this idea after the pandemic and finally decided to build it. ESPN and the usual event sites didn't do what I wanted for finding live sports to watch. I wanted something like Bandsintown for sports: give it a location and it tells you what's nearby.

With conference play heading into its last few weeks, here's what's on it for volleyball:

Women's college volleyball: about 1,800 programs, including all of D1 (about 350), plus D2, D3, NAIA, NJCAA and the California JUCOs, the USCAA and NCCAA, and the U SPORTS teams in Canada. That's about 3,900 upcoming matches right now.

The volleyball near you that you might not know about: most D1 towns have D2, D3 or NAIA programs within a short drive, and those matches are often free or close to it. For example, within 30 miles of Minneapolis over the next two weeks there are 24 matches. Two are Gophers home matches (Penn State on Nov 6), two are NSIC D2, and the other 20 are MIAC D3.

Conference tournaments and NCAA tournament matches show up as the schools post them.

Men's college volleyball isn't on it yet. The season doesn't start until January, and I'd like to add it before then.

It's not just volleyball, either. The same site covers basketball, hockey, soccer, football, baseball, lacrosse and more, across about 2,000 colleges in every division plus the pro and minor leagues. That's roughly 90,000 upcoming games in all.

There are no accounts and no ads. It's just a hobby site.

Schedules come straight from each school's published schedule and are re-checked every night, so time changes and postponements show up the next morning.

Every list is also a plain-text or JSON feed. For example, here's all volleyball within 30 miles of Minneapolis for the next two weeks: floodlit.us/api/feed?zip=55455&days=14&sports=Volleyball&format=text (it takes any zip, up to 30 days, and a radius up to 100 miles). You can also subscribe to any list as a calendar (.ics) so it shows up in your phone's calendar app.

If your team or gym is missing or wrong, tell me in the comments. School schedules come in a lot of formats, and I've been fixing things as I find them, but I'm sure some are still off.

It's probably rough around the edges, but I'm trying to find out whether this is useful at all.

Anyone use the volley talk forums? I tried to make an account but I haven't been approved for weeks. They are more active than this sub, but I can't post / participate until my account is approved :(

i know things are getting better. i remember when even if your challenge was correct you still lost it. however, i still don't understand why in volleyball (and tbh other sports as well) there are things that are considered unchallengeable even though you can clearly (and often quickly) determine whether a call was right or wrong.

i suppose the argument is that if coaches keep challenging (and winning) then the game will take too long. however, if that's happening then that only means that the wrong call was made and later had been corrected, which to me is a good thing.

for instance i believe i remember one game where they said four touches isn't challengeable?? why? i remember in that crazy first pitt vs smu game there was a four touches call that was (apparently wrongly) allowed to be challenged where it was determined that izzy's first touch was a block touch. imagine that crazy set ending what we all can see was an intial bad call!!

i just truly don't get it. we have the game on tape with replay readily accessible. why would you not want to get it right?

Stanford's setter was taken out atfer getting hit in the head while blocking. But they don't have a setter on the floor... do they not have a back up setter?

What a great win for a team that put in a new starting setter. It feels good being healthy.

Don't look now, but they may have found their stride.

By now I’m sure many of us have seen the picture from the auburn/miz match of the mizzou fan/student yelling behind the auburn player. I get it’s a pretty funny still frame. That said, anyone who watches knows you could probably capture hundreds just like it at just about any match, especially at Nebraska, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Pitt, Louisville, you get the point.

The auburn player posted the photo on instagram and it’s absolutely blowing up, the comments are honestly cruel, and she’s liking lots of them. I get a story post, again I understand it’s a funny picture, but meh…

I’m a 16 year old boy, currently in my junior year of highschool and I’ve always wanted to play volleyball but never actually took the steps to learning how. Is it too late to start now? And if not does anyone know any rec teams that take in beginners (in Baltimore). For the record I’m kinda short (5’6) but i can jump pretty high if that makes a big difference, and despite my height i wanna play generally any position in the front.

Coach Tolbert needs to be fired! Going 0-27 last year. 3 wins the year prior and now 2 wins this year. It’s time for a change. Kicked out of the G-Mac D2 conference.

After a midseason turnaround, SDSU volleyball has won seven straight and climbed to second place in the Pac-12. Now, they’re chasing the top spot. They are going for eight today at noon PT. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/pac12/streams

Wow, what a match! I'd be lying if I didn't think Wisconsin was going to walk Washington pretty handily... boy was I wrong!

Great game by both teams, congrats to Washington!

So, does anyone still want to say PSU doesn't belong in the rankings?

I think we can all agree this is the most parity we've ever seen in women's college volleyball and it feels like almost anyone can win or lose to anyone on any given night. I wanted to look at the current Top 25 and compare ranked wins and losses for each team.

Note: These are wins and losses to teams who were ranked at the time that they played, not necessarily currently ranked teams, and this is also only regular season matches not exhibition.

I am excited to join in. New fan to the sport. Love that so many of the top teams play each other, unlike other sports! Starting to figure out best sources for volleyball news and info. Hope this is one.

Not a fan of either team (Husker fan here) but watching the game tonight.

The announcers have said DeLaye’s name at least 100 times in the first set. Goodness.

I appreciate great student athletes however there are many other players in the game!

Listening to Sarah Pavan’s podcast, I remember she mentioned how Rachel Holloway had the potential to play for the USA senior national team. Sarah mentioned one of the best setter connections she had was with Rachel (the other one is Olympic champion Fofao).

So it just got me thinking, who else would’ve been very impactful in the national team (especially during their specific time)?

Student Athlete Burnout Study – Middle Tennessee State University

I am conducting a study looking at student athlete burnout. This study will take place via online questionnaire through Qualtrics and should take about 20 minutes to complete. To compensate you for your time and effort, participants will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of two $50 Amazon gift cards.

To be eligible to participate in this study you must:

-        Be 18 years or older

-        Currently enrolled as a NCAA or NAIA student athlete

-        English speaking

If you have already completed this study, please do not take it a second time.

If you have any questions about the study, please feel free to reach out to me!

Seems to be very RPI based.

I’m watching Texas vs Florida right now and wow if I was Ella Swindle I’d be transferring mid game 😂 they finally decide to make a change, run a 6-2, and it’s Binney and a freshman?? 😭 seriously did Swindle key Elliot’s car after winning him the championship?

Avid Canadian volleyball fan and now getting into NCAA. Watching Florida vs Texas and they switch sides going into the third but not the second set. I saw this in a few others. Is there a reason for that? In VNL and USport I feel like most other leagues do it the traditional way and switch sides between every set snd at 8pts in the 5th. Side note: These ladies are on the another level of bad assery. Seriously great volleyball wow. TIA

Is she still hurt?

Don't get me wrong I think Stafford and Anderson are doing a great job, and Vander Wal before her injury. But I think they are missing a defender/attacker from the back row.

All of the pins have great moments from the back row, and in some of the past few games Spears has really turned up the heat. It's great that all of the DS's are getting playing time I'm def not upset about that.
