Are there requirements to join?
- Yes – the league asks that you have a basic understanding of volleyball (not backyard volleyball) and that you are not a danger to others on the court.

- Otherwise, if you are affiliated with NASA, you are eligible to play in the league. Affiliated means civil servant, contractor, or affiliate.
