Volo Sports APIvolosports.com ↗
Access Volo Sports leagues, drop-in game slots, venues, and city coverage via API. Filter by city, sport, and program type. 8 endpoints.
What is the Volo Sports API?
The Volo Sports API exposes 8 endpoints covering recreational sports leagues, drop-in game slots, and venue data across all cities where Volo operates. Starting with list_cities, you can enumerate every active market, then drill into open-registration leagues with list_leagues, inspect per-game pricing via get_drop_in_detail, or resolve venue coordinates through get_venue_detail. All endpoints return structured JSON with consistent data and status fields.
No input parameters required.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the Volo Sports API
City and Program Discovery
list_cities returns every city Volo operates in as an array of organization objects, each carrying _id, name, crest_url, has_rentals, and has_volunteering flags. Use the name field value (e.g. Baltimore, Washington DC, Boston, Denver) as the city parameter in every other endpoint. list_leagues and list_drop_in_slots both accept a sport filter (e.g. Soccer, Volleyball, Softball, Flag Football) and standard limit/offset pagination, returning a data object with a results array and a total count.
Drop-in Slots
Drop-in game slots represent single-session openings with available spots. list_drop_in_slots returns upcoming slots ordered by start time, and list_soccer_drop_in_slots is a convenience wrapper pre-filtered to soccer. Both share the same response shape. For full pricing detail — including member vs. non-member breakdowns — call get_drop_in_detail with a game_id UUID sourced from the results[*].game_id field in the slot list response.
Leagues
list_leagues surfaces leagues with open registration, ordered by start date. The get_league_detail endpoint accepts a league_id from list_leagues results[*]._id and returns the full league object including programPricingForRegistration and prepaidProgramPricingForRegistration fields, which distinguish standard and prepaid registration costs.
Venues
list_venues returns all venues in a city alphabetically, each with _id, shorthand_name, formatted_address, and neighborhood. get_venue_detail adds latitude and longitude coordinates for a specific venue UUID, enabling geo lookups or map rendering.
The Volo Sports API is a managed, monitored endpoint for volosports.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when volosports.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official volosports.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Build a city-specific league finder that filters Volo leagues by sport and registration availability.
- Display a weekly calendar of open drop-in soccer slots across multiple Volo cities.
- Compare member vs. non-member pricing for drop-in sessions using get_drop_in_detail price breakdowns.
- Geocode Volo venues using latitude/longitude from get_venue_detail to plot them on a map.
- List all venues within a neighborhood for a local activity guide using the neighborhood field.
- Check which Volo cities offer rentals or volunteering via the has_rentals and has_volunteering flags from list_cities.
- Aggregate open-registration leagues across sports to power a multi-sport discovery feed.
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 100 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does Volo Sports have an official public developer API?+
How do I filter drop-in slots to a specific sport or city?+
list_drop_in_slots accepts both a city string (must match a name from list_cities, e.g. Boston) and a sport string (e.g. Volleyball, Flag Football). Results are ordered by start time, and limit/offset parameters control pagination. list_soccer_drop_in_slots is a shortcut that pre-applies the soccer filter and only requires a city parameter.What pricing fields does get_league_detail return?+
get_league_detail returns a league object containing programPricingForRegistration and prepaidProgramPricingForRegistration. These two fields reflect standard and prepaid registration cost structures respectively. For drop-in games, get_drop_in_detail provides a parallel pricing breakdown that separates member and non-member rates.Does the API return team rosters or player profiles for leagues?+
Are past leagues or completed drop-in sessions available?+
list_leagues returns leagues with open registration and list_drop_in_slots returns upcoming available slots — both are forward-looking. Historical or completed programs are not currently returned by any endpoint. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint that retrieves past program data.
