Want to volleyball? A three-court facility opens Sat. June 7 in South Jordan to help a local volleyball club handle the amount of youth boys and girls wanting to play the sport. 

A grand opening party for “The Jetty,” located at 11194 S. Redwood Road will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. that first Saturday in June.

“Volleyball has exploded in popularity over the past decade, and with the sanctioning of boys volleyball in Utah two years ago we are now seeing a massive influx of young men wanting to learn the sport,” Club GSL founder Warren Van Schalkwyk said. “Sport City [in Draper], our home for the last 10 years, has been amazing and helped us immensely in our growth, but the need for more courts has been a problem for most clubs in our state. We will continue to use Sport City but the additional three courts at The Jetty will help us create a better experience for everyone wanting to join the world of volleyball.”

Van Schalkwyk said the name of the building was inspired by GSL’s “Spiral Jetty” logo. “It’s our way of paying homage to our beautiful state and all the opportunities it has given us, both as a business and to our athletes,” he said, adding that “having our own facility has always been on Club GSL’s wish list, but it still feels like a miracle every time we walk through the doors.”

Boys volleyball tryouts at Club GSL are scheduled this summer, just with an extended capacity now. Elect Travel Team Tryouts will be held July 14-15 and Elite/Comp Local Team Tryouts July 17-18.
