Our Fall Volleyball League program is an outstanding opportunity for players who are not currently playing for their school teams to get an introduction to Club Volleyball as part of a competitive volleyball team. Players in the 5th through 8th grades who participate in Fall Ball will receive individual instruction, develop their skills, and participate in organized competition. Fall Ball begins in September and extends through the end of October/Early November.  This is a great preview to our NW Juniors VBC Program which begins with tryouts in November, and runs December through May.  At the conclusion of the Fall Ball season, players have the option of enrolling in one of our three levels of NW Juniors Volleyball Club (Elite, Regional, Local).

At least 6 teams each will be fielded on the Eastside and in the Edmonds/Lynnwood area.  Registration is first come, first served until we fill all of our openings. 

The purpose of Fall Ball is to teach young players the fundamental skills so they can prepare for school seasons and eventually play on a Club travel team. Players in Fall Ball will be placed onto teams who will meet and train twice a week and participate in friendship or scrimmage tournaments organized by the Club.
Fall Ball has a limited capacity; therefore, a waiting list will be created once we have reached our maximum during the sign-up period (60 per location). 

The FALL BALL PROGRAM is open to all interested girls and boys in 5th thru 8th grades of all skill levels on a first come, first served basis.   There are a limited number of openings for 9th graders who are not attending high school (their high school is 10-12).  Through the NWJRS Elite, Northwest Juniors, and Fall Ball programs, the NW Juniors Volleyball Club is proud to serve over 300 female athletes each season! Please see our PROGRAMS  page  for more detailed information on our programs!

MANDATORY PLAYER EVALUATIONS are for team placement purposes only.  All players are required to attend and must come ready to play volleyball.  We want to try to balance teams and player evaluations are the only way to ensure this.  Team rosters will be posted prior to the start of practices beginning September 9, 2012.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT EVALUATIONS?  Players and parents will check-in so we know you are here.  The players will be evaluated and we will try to get an idea of their level of experience.  DURING PLAYER EVALUATIONS (for the first 15-20 minutes) we will have parent orientation/Q & A.  Players will find out what team they are on by Saturday the 10th.  It will be posted to this page.  Regardless of what team players are placed on, they will all have practice Sunday, September 9th.
