The City Beautiful Volleyball League was designed by volleyball enthusiasts whose only goal is to grow the sport of volleyball within the Orlando community. The CBVL league welcomes adult players of all ages, gender and sexual background to our diverse league. Volleyball clinics will be held to hone an existing volleyball skill or for the beginner, to introduce you to the sport in a fun, non-competitive and welcoming manner. For those who excel at volleyball, you will find competition with CBVL member's who are experienced players and like to take the game more seriously. Our league uses a draft format, so everyone will be welcomed to a team and will be allowed to play equally. CBVL finds it home at the Orlando Sport Center where we have access to 12 indoor courts and 10 outdoor sand volleyball courts. Please visit us at cbvl.com for more information and to further check us out!

Gays
and Lesbians On the Waters (GLOWS) - Undeniably,
the words water and fun are just about as synonymous as
hot body and bathing suit. Since that is the case, thank
the high heavens for organizations like GLOWS (Gays &
Lesbians On Water Skis). Formed in April of 1990, GLOWS
is Orlandos premiere Gay & Lesbian water sport
club. Beginners and novice skiers are welcomed and encouraged
at GLOWS. They will learn from the very best, as GLOWS
intermediate and expert participants also join in the
recreation. It is a social event and a day on the water
as much as it is a day of water skiing.
