About

Youth Volleyball includes youth volleyball lessons and youth volleyball games that focus on specific volleyball skills such as serving, setting, hitting, blocking, and digging. Each practice includes time to warm up and stretch, with activities like jumping jacks, running in place, and dynamic stretching.

• Ages: 8–14 years old
• Schedule: One 60-minute practice and 1 game per week.

Each volleyball program is structured and led by experienced volunteer coaches and staff. The program follows a mission that focuses on participation and fun, with basic skills developed through practices and games, and every child learning sportsmanship and values stated as necessary to be successful in life. Youth volleyball leagues in this program place emphasis on team spirit and sportsmanship, and every YMCA volleyball game begins with a Youth Sports Pledge with encouragement of fair play, positive competition, and family involvement. Teams are available for ages 8–14, and sports are offered seasonally and vary by location. YMCA Youth Sports uniforms are ordered directly from the YMCA vendor by each participant, a multi-sport jersey is required for volleyball, and the purchase of a game jersey is required for each participant with optional shorts available for purchase. Volleyball is described in the program information as a sport which was invented in a YMCA. A statement about community involvement notes that a team sport that involves team strength in children is described as an excellent quality for life to learn the significance of setting objectives and working towards accomplishing them. One testimonial from a coach, Kristen P., describes her experience coaching her daughter’s YMCA volleyball team, including enjoying practices, appreciating dedicated parents who brought players to practices and games and provided snacks after games, and feeling that coaching created laughs, memories, and new friendships.
