If you’re looking to join an indoor beach volleyball league in NYC, QBK Sports in Long Island City offers two exciting formats for our indoor beach volleyball leagues: 4x4 and 6x6. With Fall Season sign-ups now open, it’s time to decide which style of play fits your game — and your goals.


4x4 Indoor Beach Volleyball in NYC: Fast, Competitive, and High-Intensity

For players who want non-stop action, 4x4 volleyball leagues deliver a faster pace and more touches on the ball. With fewer players per side, you’ll be involved in almost every play — perfect for those who thrive on competition and cardio.


Best for:

  • Intermediate to advanced players

  • Smaller groups of friends ready for a challenge

  • Those seeking a high-energy workout


Advantages of 4x4:

  • More ball contact and active play

  • Faster tempo and dynamic rallies

  • Great for improving all-around skills


Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Requires more stamina and agility

  • Defensive coverage is more demanding


6x6 Volleyball Leagues in Queens: Social, Strategic, and Team-Oriented

If you prefer a more social game with a little extra breathing room between plays, 6x6 volleyball is a great choice. Larger teams make it easier to cover the court and allow players to focus on specific positions.


Best for:

  • Beginners and casual players

  • Larger friend groups or office teams

  • Those who want a mix of fun and strategy


Advantages of 6x6:


  • Easier coverage for new players

  • More social interaction with a bigger team

  • Encourages specialized roles and teamwork


Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Less ball contact per player than 4x4

  • Slightly slower game pace


Which QBK League Should You Choose?


Pick 4x4 if you want more ball time, faster games, and a serious workout.

Pick 6x6 if you’re looking for a social, beginner-friendly environment or have a large group to sign up with.
