VOLLEYBALL

VOLLEYBALL INFO

SVAA's goal is to create an environment where every child will play and learn the game. No tryouts are required.

SVAA offers volleyball for 3rd - 6th graders. Over 1,900 play in the fall and spring seasons. Teams play regulation volleyball following a best two out of three format, with rally scoring. 3rd graders play in a relaxed, instructional mode. Fifth and sixth grade have an end of season tournament in both fall and spring.

The ball size used for 3rd - 6th grade is the VolleyLite.

All teams will be assigned a maximum of 10 players, coaches may approve up to 12. 

Each team gets one 90-minute practice time per week on a weeknight in an RISD gym.   Coaches complete a practice request form.  Practice times are assigned by SVAA.

 
Our Spring season runs mid March through the beginning or middle of May. Our Fall season runs early September through early November.
