Volleyball is a Fall and Spring co-ed sport for grades 3 through 12. This will be our 14th year. We had 280 players last year. Our season runs from the first Saturday after Labor Day until the weekend before November 15, for the Fall. The Spring season begins March 15 and runs until June 15th. Teams practice twice a week for an hour and play games every Saturday and a few Sundays. This is an instructional league. This means we stress learning and fun. Players are grouped by grades 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, and High School.
3&4 graders all meet twice a week for a clinic taught by people who know the sport. The intention is to give these kids a good foundation. The players are put on teams and they play games on Saturdays. They play with a Volley Lite ball, same size as a normal ball but 2/3 the weight. The court is smaller and they play with modified rules.
5&6 graders have a tryout on the first Saturday in September and we try to build teams of equal talent. They practice twice a week for an hour with their coach and play games on Saturdays. They are allowed to move in to serve. We rotate everyone into games so that no one sits out a game. They play with a Volley Lite ball.
7&8 graders have a tryout on the first Saturday in September to try and build teams of equal talent. They practice twice a week for an hour with their coach and play games on Saturday. They play regular volleyball with regular equipment.
The High Schoolers have a tryout on the first Saturday in September to try and build teams of equal talent. They practice twice a week for an hour with their coach and play games on Saturdays. They play regular volleyball with regular equipment.
At the end of the season we have a year end tournament with trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. There is also a year-end party at Chantilly HS for players and coaches with pizza, soda, and cake. Parents are welcome but we charge a small fee.
