Beach volleyball anyone?

Hola,
I just bought my plane ticket for a 3 month stay in PDC. Primary reason is to learn spanish. Second reason is to play as much beach volleyball as possible. Anyone knows if there are any beach volleyball nets in PDC. Any organized leagues or tournaments? I just can't wait to get there. It will be my first time in Mexico and I heard this place is simply amazing.

Hola y buenvenidos!

The only volleyball nets I've seen on the beach are along from the pier at constituyentes towards Mamitas.

Can't recall any others....

Thanks everyone for the replies. That's a good start.

Rob: I'm about to sign up at Solexico. Don't know yet if I'll take the 15 or 25 hour per week course. Anyone has ever taken classes there?

Rob,
I believe it's something like 170$ US per week. You can check it out at Learn Spanish in Mexico | Solexico

I went to Solexico for a month but it was back in 2005. I can't remember exactly but I want to say it is on 6th street near 35th ave. I know I walked 30th going to the school. There were more Europeans there when i was there than people from the US/Canada. I took the longer 25 hr. program. Not sure what your living arrangements will be but I highly recommend the family stay. I did that half the month then found my own place for the other half. The family stay gives you so much of the practice with native speakers that you need outside of the "classroom" learning. I can't compare it to the other programs in town but I liked it at Solexico.

And... LessBeach... there is a sand volleyball court at the school when i was there anyway... Many days there were pick up games after classes were over too!

Enjoy it. Freshening up my Spanish for a month was also a great way for me to spend a month in paradise
