🏐 NEW THIS FALL: Friday Night 4's League! 🏐
Games. Every. Friday. Night.
We dug into the research, and it's clear: kids get better, faster, when they're out there running the show themselves. That's why our brand-new Friday 4's League puts the game in their hands — players call their own lines, make their own adjustments, and build real Volleyball IQ by learning to coach themselves through the ups and downs of live play.
How it works:
- Two 4-week sessions of pure, high-energy competition
- Session 1: September 11th – October 2nd
- Session 2: October 9th – October 30th
- Divisions for 7th/8th grade and 4th-6th grade
- Two matches every Friday, and yes, teams officiate one match themselves, leveling up their game knowledge even more
- Courts shift week to week based on performance — climb the ranks and prove it
- Go all the way and walk away with Championship T-Shirts 🏆
💰 Cost: $50/player or $200/team
🚨 Spots are LIMITED:
- Max 6 teams — 7th/8th grade
- Max 6 teams — 4th-6th grade
Divisions may expand if one fills up and the other has room — but only if there's a waitlist, so don't wait to lock in your spot!
Note: We reserve the right to cancel the league if participation doesn't meet the minimum threshold with full refund.
Get your team signed up before the courts fill up!
