FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q.  How old does my child have to be to play volleyball?
A.  To be eligible, a player must be 6 and in 1st grade by September 30.

Q.  Is my child able to "play up" to the next level?
A.  If the upper division has openings and the player has the necessary skills, a parent may sign a waiver to allow the child to play at the upper division.

Q.  When and where are practices?
A.  Each team practices two weeknights at local elementary school gyms. The practice nights are the coach's choice since he or she is volunteering. (Requests for specific practice gyms will be considered but are NOT guaranteed and NO refunds will be issued for an undesired practice location.)

A special requests option also allows you to list a preferred practice gym or any days that your child would be unavailable for practices.
