Blacklight Volleball Court Locations

Once you have decided to throw a blacklight volleyball game our tournament, the biggest question is often "where do I have it"?  The great thing about glow volleyball much like its regular counterpart is that you can set up a court in such a variety of places.  Indoor courts are undoubtedly the most versatile since they allow you to control ambient light and have games during daylight hours.  Also, ample electricity for your blacklights is almost always available in a warehouse, gymnasium, or arena.  Also, large indoor spaces allow for a multiple court setup perfect for large blackout volleyball tournaments as seen below.

Nighttime outdoor blacklight volleyball tournaments have their own amazing benefits.  They often can take place on existing sand or grass volleyball courts.  In addition, you can place blacklights in any parking lot, field, or patio to create a makeshift glow arena of your own.

Blacklight Volleyball Glow Decorations!

The only thing better than a volleyball tournament is the thrill of playing while glowing in the dark. Regardless of whether it is indoors, or outdoor sand, blacklight volleyball is the latest craze.  While there are many ways to ensure the success of your glow event, the easiest is to ensure that you have great black light reactive uniforms and decorations.

In our previous posts, we have featured some great tips and tricks including:
Blacklight reactive volleyballs, Neon tape for court lines, fluorescent uniform ideas, black light paint, and powerful blacklight rentals.

Another great inexpensive tip is to use "fluorescent flagging tape" which glows incredibly under ultraviolet blacklight.  While traditionally used in construction, maintenance and industrial usage to mark off and flag items of interest, this neon tape is non-adhesive, slightly elastic, and flexible.  It comes in rolls of different sizes and widths.  This can best be used during blacklight volleyball games as a net enhancement.  It can easily be woven throughout the net to make a traditional net pop.  It can also be used for court demarcation, team identifying arm or headbands, and general decorations.

Fluorescent Flagging tape can be found online or at any hardware store such as Lowes, Home Depot or Ace.
