Jr. Loper Volleyball

Jr. Lopers Volleyball

YMCA Jr. Loper Volleyball focuses on teaching fundamentals, sportsmanship and teamwork through games and practices. We follow an “everyone plays” motto which means that during the season players receives equal practice time and play at least 1/2 of every game. As part of a team, everyone contributes to the team’s success. We believe that kids who have fun playing sports build a lifetime love of healthy competition, and the best way to keep it enjoyable is to keep everyone involved.

Teams will be formed by Y staff based on grade & school attended.
