Volleyball players at South Mission Beach want the city to change its hours after being told they could be fined playing before 8 in the morning.
The players tell NBC 7 the city hasn't enforced the 8AM rule for decades.
Because of nearby homes, and that organized sports groups typically produce quite a bit of sound, the city says games can't start before 8AM.
An online petition to formally change the allowed start time to 6AM has been stated and drew more than a thousand signatures in less than 12 hours.
