Volleyball League: 10th Grade SPRING

PLAYERS SHOULD BE IN THE 10TH GRADE IN SPRING 2025 FOR THIS LEAGUE.

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

Dive into the ultimate league tailored to elevate your game! Designed for players of all levels, our practices are focused on refining key techniques: from precision setting and flawless passing, to expert digging, and ace serving. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, this league promises an immersive journey to a love of volleyball! 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! KNEE PADS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

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.
