Drop-in volleyball is a way for random players to play volleyball with other players without committing to a team or a season. There are no specific positions and no team format. When you show up to play, you play the position that is next in the rotation.
Skill level: It may be different levels, but usually it's intermediate and competitive.
It is usually required that you know positioning like Power, Middle, Offside, Setter, and rotations like six back. As well, as what is a pike hit? It's when a back row Power hits from the middle of the back row attack line.
The advantages are that you get to meet players you may not have had the chance to meet if you didn't play. If you're new to the city, you can get connected quickly and learn about the leagues around and the city as a whole.
The disadvantages is that you may not get to play the position you are comfortable with, but that can be a good thing as you now can sell more than one skill to potential new teams:).
