How a Portable Volleyball Net System Works
A portable volleyball net system is a freestanding setup. With a permanent system, the posts are anchored in sleeves cut into the floor. With a portable system, each upright stands on its own base. That makes it the practical choice for gyms without floor sleeves, rented or shared venues, and finished floors you don't want to cut into. It also works well in multipurpose spaces that switch between volleyball, basketball and assemblies in the same week. On the Gared GoCourt Jr, both bases have wheels. The system rolls into play position, and when you release the brake it rolls back out for storage.
How to Choose the Right System
- Check your floor. If your gym has no floor sleeves, a portable system is the simplest way to add volleyball. If sleeves are already installed, a sleeve-mounted setup is another option: compare our competition volleyball net systems.
- Plan the storage route. Measure every doorway, hallway and storage room the system has to roll through. Check for thresholds, ramps and tight corners. Wheels make moving easier, but you still need a clear path.
- Match the net height to your players. Telescopic uprights let you adjust the net for different groups. Our volleyball court dimensions and net height guide covers the right height for indoor, high school, college and youth play.
- Prioritize padding. Players dive and collide near the posts, so padded uprights matter. The GoCourt Jr includes safety pads.
- Count what's included. A complete package saves you extra orders. The GoCourt Jr comes with the net, antennas and sideline markers. A collapsible referee stand is available as an optional accessory.
- Indoor or outdoor? This system is a wheeled court system built to roll across a gym floor. For sand, grass or a backyard, browse our outdoor and sand volleyball net systems or casual recreational volleyball net systems.

Setup, Storage and Care
- Roll the system into position, set the brakes before tensioning the net, and confirm both uprights are at the same height.
- Before each session, check the safety pads for tears or loose fasteners, and make sure the antennas are secure.
- Clean aluminum and powdercoated parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull or scratch the finish.
- Keep the wheels free of grit so they don't mark the court surface.
- Store the net dry and loosely folded so it doesn't tangle or kink.
- Replace worn nets, pads or hardware early. You can find components in net system replacement parts.
Shipping and Returns
The GoCourt Jr ships by truck. Most orders take 1–2 business days for processing. Standard transit typically takes 1–5 business days after dispatch, but oversized equipment may have significantly longer transit times, and all dates are estimates. For heavy equipment, we may provide a formal shipping quote before or after purchase.
Freight deliveries are tailgate deliveries. This means you unload the system from the truck yourself, so plan for a forklift, a loading dock or enough helpers. Your address must be accessible by a 53’ freight trailer. Inspect the shipment while the driver is still there, and write "DAMAGED" on the Bill of Lading before you sign if you see any damage. Concealed damage must be reported within 24 hours.
You can return unused items in their original packaging within 60 days from delivery. Email info@joysportstore.com first to get a Return Authorization (RA) number. Returns sent without an RA number are not accepted. You pay shipping costs both ways. The original shipping cost and the restocking fee are deducted from your refund.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a portable volleyball net system need floor sleeves?
No. The Gared GoCourt Jr does not need floor sleeves. Each telescopic upright stands on its own wheeled base, so you can set up a court on a gym floor without cutting into it. That makes it a good fit for venues where installing sleeves isn't allowed or practical, such as shared, rented or newly finished floors.
What comes with the Gared GoCourt Jr?
The package includes two portable bases with wheels, two padded aluminum telescopic uprights with safety pads, an easy-set competition net, antennas and sideline markers. A collapsible referee stand is sold separately as an optional accessory. The system has a powdercoat finish and is made in the US.
How do you move and store a freestanding volleyball net?
On the GoCourt Jr, the wheeled bases let the system roll into play position. When play is over, you release the brake and roll it to storage. Before you buy, measure the doorways, hallways and storage area along that route, and check for thresholds or ramps that could make rolling harder.
Is this an indoor or outdoor volleyball net system?
The GoCourt Jr is a wheeled one-court system designed to roll across a court surface, so it's aimed at gyms and indoor multipurpose floors. If you're setting up on sand, grass or in a backyard, a dedicated outdoor or beach system will suit you better. You'll find those in our outdoor and sand volleyball collection.
What net height should I set?
It depends on who's playing. Regulation heights differ between men's, women's, high school and youth play. The GoCourt Jr's telescopic uprights let you adjust the net for different groups. Check the official height for your level in our volleyball court dimensions and net height guide before your first session.
How is the system shipped, and how long does delivery take?
It ships by truck as a tailgate delivery, so you're responsible for unloading. Most orders take 1–2 business days to process, and standard transit typically takes 1–5 business days. Oversized equipment can take significantly longer, and all dates are estimates. We may send a formal shipping quote for heavy freight.
Can I return a portable volleyball net system?
Yes, within 60 days from delivery, as long as it's unused, in its original condition and in its original packaging. Email info@joysportstore.com first to get a Return Authorization number. You pay shipping both ways, and the original shipping cost and restocking fee are deducted from your refund.
