League Play and Practice
The Saturday youth volleyball league transitioned to a 4v4 game format. This change provides each player more opportunities to play, touch the ball, and develop their volleyball skills in a game environment. This game format also teaches players to work together, become better teammates, have fun, and to truly enjoy the game of volleyball.
