The Y offers a variety of volleyball programs where all kids get to play, guaranteeing a fun time!
The Jr. Valkyries Youth Volleyball Program at the YMCA is a recreational youth league that gives boys and girls the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of volleyball, build confidence and have a blast playing on a team.
Whether your child has played before or is brand new to the sport, our league is designed to help them grow their skills and discover their full potential.
At The Y, every child gets in the game — no matter their experience level. We create a supportive, encouraging environment where kids can improve, belong and shine!
Volleyball is more than serves and volleys — it builds focus, communication and resilience. Our caring volunteer coaches teach players how to work together, stay disciplined and think strategically, preparing them for success both on and off the court. And with teamwork at the heart of the sport, kids develop friendships and memories that last a lifetime.
