Connect, play and have more fun in greater akron!
Founded in 2016, Summit Sports & Social (formerly Stay in Play Recreation) is the premier provider of adult recreational sports leagues, fun-filled social events, and tournaments in the Akron/Canton area. We offer a variety of co-ed sports geared toward young professionals and multigenerational groups in the area. With a focus on sand volleyball, we also offer kickball, Spikeball, bocce ball, and dodgeball – and we’re just getting started.
From more laid-back approachable recreational leagues to serious and fiercely competitive groupings, we’re confident you won’t regret adding our routine dose of fun to your week. We aren’t just focused on sports. With pre and post-game gatherings and partners with the area’s best bars and breweries, we’re also a great way to make new friends!
Canal Courts:
Sand Volleyball
Our main facility is located in downtown Akron, directly under the historic Goodrich smokestacks right off the Towpath Trail with nearly 100,000 square feet to socialize and play. The new brewery district featuring Missing Falls and R. Shea is conveniently located adjacent to our four sand volleyball courts, between Main Street and Bartges. Thanks to support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Ohio and Erie Canalway Coalition – The Canal Courts are our home base for sand volleyball leagues, tournaments and other events. Outside of programmed activity, these courts and open and free to use by the public.
