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.

Practices begin the week of September 9 at Mt. Tabor Middle School (5800 SE Ash Street). Please access the gym from the east hallway near SE Ash Street and the grass sport field.  

Practice times may vary depending on coach's availability. The grade grouping may change dependent on registration levels.
