Volleyball League: 7th Grade FALL

PLAYERS SHOULD BE IN THE 7TH GRADE IN FALL 2023 FOR THIS LEAGUE.

Registration availability in all leagues is limited based on number of staff/volunteers that are available and facility space. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis.

Bump, Set, Spike! Do you have a volleyball player in your house? If so, this is the perfect league for them! Practices will concentrate on skill building, setting, passing, spiking, digging and serving. Each team will have one practice a week, and a 6-game guarantee during the season (6th grade and up will include an end of season tournament starting on game 6. No end of season tournament for 5th grade and below). Cost of a team shirt is included in the cost of registration!

Teams will be loosely based on grade and where players attend school. Genders will be combined for volleyball. All teams will be formed by the discretion of CARD staff and if necessary, skills evaluations.
