In the bustling landscape of National Landing, one venue is making waves – quite literally in the sand. Club Volo, the area’s premier beach volleyball destination, isn’t just about spiking balls and diving for points. It’s about creating a community where strangers become teammates, and teammates become friends.

“At the end of the day, our purpose is to connect people,” explains Aaron Krotman, Sales Director at Volo. “We’re a social sports organization that gives people in the community a way to meet others and compete together.” For Dweck Properties residents, that community connection just got a whole lot closer to home. With seven communities in the heart of National Landing just moments from the Club Volo courts, Dweck Properties launched a new partnership with Volo this past spring to sponsor free volleyball leagues for residents to participate in and get to know one another. The partnership between Volo and Dweck Properties exemplifies exactly the kind of community-focused collaboration that makes National Landing so special. For Dweck residents, this partnership offers more than just discounted volleyball – it’s an instant entry into a thriving community of active, social professionals who share their neighborhood.

Club Volo is part of the larger Volo Sports organization, which operates across seven major cities and offers everything from flag football to cornhole leagues. But Club Volo’s National Landing location, which opened just last year, focuses exclusively on what they do best – creating an exceptional beach volleyball experience. The choice to establish their courts in National Landing wasn’t accidental. “Finding space in DC is tough, and this opportunity came about at the perfect time,” Aaron shares. “This area is growing and is interested in what we have to offer.”

What sets Club Volo apart from the typical recreational sports scene isn’t just their pristine courts (freshly topped with 20 tons of sand, as Aaron proudly notes). It’s their approach to ownership and community building. “A lot of recreational options you’ll find through other organizations rely on city permits, rentals, or school spaces,” Aaron explains. “We own the venue. We take pride in making sure hard work goes into maintaining it and making it the best product possible for the players.” This dedication to quality is one of Club Volo’s key advantages, enabling them to deliver an exceptional beach volleyball experience.

More than that, behind every game played at Club Volo lies a deeper commitment to community impact. Through the Volo Kids Foundation, a portion of every registration fee supports free youth programs throughout the D.C. area, offering sports opportunities for children ages 5-13. It’s a reminder that every spike, serve, and celebration contributes to something bigger than the game itself.

The beauty of Volo’s approach lies in its accessibility. “For someone who’s never played volleyball before, it’s extremely easy to get started,” Aaron emphasizes. “You go to volosports.com, pick and choose based on your schedule. Sign up as a free agent, and Volo will assign you to a team.” Volo then matches free agents with other team members who noted similar interests in their profiles. For Dweck Residents, complimentary spots are offered via emails from their property management teams on a first-come, first-served basis. Beyond regular league play, Club Volo offers daily pickup games, biweekly weekend tournaments, and court rentals for those wanting to organize their own matches.

For the truly committed, Volo offers Volo Pass, a $35 monthly membership that provides unlimited pickup games, access to all-you-can-drink happy hours, and significant discounts on tournaments and leagues. It’s the kind of value that transforms casual players into community regulars. “Our biggest success is being able to provide something amazing for the community,” Aaron reflects. “Knowing that we’re positively impacting people’s lives and National Landing – that’s what makes this worthwhile.” With their one-year anniversary approaching, the popularity continues to grow, validating their belief in the National Landing community’s appetite for quality recreational experiences.

Volo’s ambitions extend well beyond their current courts. Plans are already in motion for expansion, with dreams of adding an on-site bar and pickleball courts to their National Landing location. Additionally, a second Club Volo location is slated to open at Buzzards Point in 2026, further expanding their reach across the DMV area.

As National Landing continues to evolve and grow, partnerships like the one between Dweck Properties and Volo represent the best of what’s possible when businesses prioritize community building. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or someone who hasn’t touched a volleyball since middle school gym class, Club Volo offers something increasingly rare in our fast-paced world – a place to slow down, connect with neighbors, and remember that sometimes the best way to build community is simply to play together. For Dweck residents looking to dive into the action, keep your eyes out in your inbox for the next opportunity to sign up for a Dweck community team.

After all, as Aaron puts it, “We’re more than just a sports venue – we’re a way for people to meet others and be part of something bigger.” For Dweck residents, that something bigger is now just a short walk away, waiting in the sand.
