YMCA Youth Volleyball leagues and clinics emphasize skill development and good sportsmanship. Our Youth Volleyball leagues and clinics are recreational and teach kids volleyball basics, like setting, bumping and serving.
YMCA youth sports encourage and promote healthy kids, families and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team-building as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others.
🚨 New Safety Feature at the Y! 🚨
Starting September 1, all parents, guardians, and spectators who are not YMCA members will need a FREE Spectator Guest Membership to attend youth sports practices, games, and matches.
It’s quick, simple, and helps us keep every child and family safe. ✅

Requirements: Knee pads are required for all age groups. Tennis shoes are required. Jewelry is not allowed to be worn during YMCA Youth Sports. This includes earrings (earrings cannot be taped).
Emphasis is on skill development, team play and volleyball IQ enhancement. Sportsmanship, skill progression and teamwork are emphasized. Everyone plays (automatic sub rotation)!
Academy players receive 7 games, a single elimination tourney, a weekly one-hour instructor-led practice training session (entire age divisions train together), instructor coach, game jersey, and tourney champ t-shirts for tourney winners.
