Youth Volleyball (Ages 8 – 17)
A fast-paced and exciting game, volleyball fosters strong team bonding on and off the court. These programs focus on sharpening skills and learning the rules all in a fun, in both a non-competitive and competitive environment.
YMCA youth sports encourage and promote healthy kids, families and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team-building as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others. Parents are encouraged to be more than mere spectators, by contributing their time as volunteer coaches—as well as being their kid’s greatest fan.
Volleyball League (Ages 11 – 17)
Calling all 11 to 17 year old’s to the net! In this youth volleyball league, players learn the fundamentals of volleyball, sportsmanship, teamwork and healthy habits while sharpening skills like spiking, setting, blocking, and serving through practicing drills and having fun. This league is open to all genders.
Teams practice once per week and play eight games per season, in addition to a season-ending tournament. All teams are led by volunteer coaches. Parental involvement, whether as a team volunteer, cheerleader or coach, is a key to success. Each player gets a YMCA uniform top to wear on and off the court.
Volleyball Skills Clinic (Ages 8 – 10)
Our skills clinics will focus on developing basic fundamentals as well as advanced skills of each player. Each session will cover 2 – 3 skills and will build on what is taught in previous sessions to aid progression from week to week.
Our volleyball clinic will focus on developing fundamentals of the game such as serving, passing, setting, hitting, blocking, and digging. We will incorporate physical activity during our teaching sessions as well. Sessions will meet one hour per week for 8 weeks.
