We hope you'll love our convenient, community-based gyms. Join us in Greentree, Cranberry, and Beaver County!
Greentree Sportsplex
600 Iron City Drive
Pittsburgh, PA 15205
Greentree Sportsplex is Renaissance's home base. Here you'll find our 3 volleyball courts and main office nestled on the ground floor among the Sportsplex's turf fields and basketball courts.
PRO TIP! Parking is sometimes tough, but there is overflow in the low below by the bubble.
Sports & Courts Cranberry
304 Warrendale Rd
Wexford, PA 15090
With the most complicated address, this is our Cranberry Township (Warrendale) location. Join us on our main, generous volleyball court in the fieldhouse. For programs and practices, the gym-side court becomes a second volleyball court.
NEED TO KNOW! Unless your program utilizes the gym side, please plan to use the fieldhouse entrance (along the side toward the back of the building).
Beaver County
Various locations including
Community Life Center - Chippewa
Beaver County Christian School - Beaver Falls
You'll find our Beaver County volleyballers training and practicing in community-based gyms. Programs are typically offered in the same location for the full session and great for athletes who value the convenience of practicing close to home

Is your athlete brand new to volleyball? Maybe they've played a season at school and are ready for more? Renaissance offers opportunities for athletes of all skill levels, experiences, and ages.
First Experiences
Athletes with gym class or backyard experience and those who have never played before
Learn to Play is a great place to start! We practice once a week for a 6 week class and offer classes year-round. Focusing on individual skills and basic game play, Learn to Play is a great first intro to the sport. Tailored to athletes in grades 3-8
PRO TIP! Summer Learn to Play classes offer drop-ins so you can pay for just the ones that fit in your schedule.
Knowledgeable, but New
Athletes who have completed a few camps, played a season for their school, and are familiar with the basics of the game
Have a look at our seasonal Youth League and Rec Leagues. Leagues offer once a week practice and also offer friendly games on dedicated days/nights.
​
Learn to Play would also be a fit as the individual skill emphasize at our program allows athletes across all skill levels to learn and grow. Some Learn to Play sessions specify they are for intermediate and advanced athletes.
​
Consider joining CORE skills classes for formal instruction across all aspects of the game. The goal of CORE is to help your athlete become a well-rounded and knowledgeable player.
Thinking about Travel
Athletes who aspire to join a travel team
There are no special requirements to try out for a travel team. For athletes newer to volleyball, attending a try out can be a good experience to meet others and practice their skills.
​
Athletes who aren't quite ready for a travel team (or who cannot commit to the full season of travel) are encouraged to join our Short Season teams which provide an abbreviated travel team experience close to home.
​
CORE Skills and the advanced sessions of Learn to Play can also provide excellent training opportunities for experienced athletes looking to take their game to the next level.
