Volleyball

Registration begins in January, 3 months before the start date in March. If registration is full for your child's division, you can be put on a waitlist. Registration ends 3 weeks before our first week of practice, at which point Late Registration will open until the end of the first week of practice and a late fee will be charged. Late registration will not guarantee you a team T-shirt or a team depending on availability. 

Each league is granted to have 8 weeks of practice and 6 weeks of games, with a minimum of 6 games per team. Practice times for each team depend on the availability of the team’s volunteer coach. 

Practice occurs at Salida Middle School located at 627 Oak St, Salida, CO 81201, from 4 PM to 8:30 PM on Tuesday. Practice times for each team depend on the availability of the team’s coach. All of our divisions have one coached practice a week.

The first three weeks of the season are dedicated to practices only, games do not begin until the fourth week. Games are at Salida Middle School located at 627 Oak St, Salida, CO 81201 on Fridays between 12 PM and 7 PM.

Every division in the volleyball league will have at least 2 teams, with each team having at least 10 players. Each division will have a maximum of 40 players.

Providing a fun and educational environment for participants and parents we collaborate with the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) to help our volunteer coaches understand the importance of friendly competition, teamwork, and physical activity, which can help children learn new skills, develop self-confidence, and more. Additionally, we provide the parents and players with etiquette guidelines and rules to ensure that all coaches, parents, and players are treated respectfully.

When communicating with coaches and the team we use an App called Team Snap. Team Snap allows us to easily update practice schedules, and game schedules, and answer any questions your parents or participants might may have. Team Snap also allows you to see any team pictures or videos a parent may upload and see the team's game history. To download Team Snap and learn how to navigate the app click on the links below.

We are always looking for coaches! You do not need to be a parent to coach in our league.

In return, we ask that our coaches do the following things:

• Fill out the pre-season coach survey

• Pass a background check
• Follow all of our coaching guidelines
• Finish their coaching commitment for the season
• Complete an end-of-season coach survey
