Our Jamba Winter League program is an outstanding opportunity for players who are not able to participate on our travel teams (NW Juniors Elite and NW Juniors Volleyball Club), but would like to be a part of a competitive volleyball team. We begin taking sign-ups after our club tryouts are completed.

To register for this league, please complete our online REGISTRATION FORM.  This will open the registration form in a new window, so please enable popups from this website.  Note that only online registration is available for this league; league registration includes submission of a non-refundable $100 deposit.

Players in the 5th through 9th grades who participate in our Jamba Juice Winter League program will receive individual instruction, develop their skills, and participate in organized competition. The purpose of the league is to teach young players the fundamental skills so they can possibly play on a travel team in the future.  The Jamba Juice Winter League program is an full version of our short "Fall Ball" program; it begins in February and extends through May.  This program is suitable for new players, players that did not make a club team, and/or players that prefer not to make the commitment to a full-season club team that travels, perhaps due to commitment to other sports.

Sign-ups for our non-travel teams are on a first come, first served basis, but are not accepted until December, so after club tryouts, allowing players that were not selected for one of our club teams an equal opportunity to play in our non-travel program. There are mandatory team placement evaluations in mid-January and practices begin the beginning of February.

Players in the Non-travel team program will be placed onto teams who will meet and train twice a week and participate in friendship scrimmage tournaments organized by the Club, usually at least once per month. Non-travel teams from other clubs may be invited to attend, as well as there may be some travel to surrounding areas for tournaments hosted by other local clubs, which varies from season to season.

The Youth League has a limited capacity, therefore, a waiting list will be created once the it has reached its maximum during the sign-up period.

Q & A (Answering questions we have had regarding our non-travel program):

What is the practice commitment? Teams practice two days per week from February through May.  One practice will be on Sunday afternoon, and the other one will be on a weeknight.  We rarely practice before 5:00 PM, so players have no problem participating in after-school activities along with our league or our club.

How many tournaments does the youth league participate in?  Or, is it just one tournament, and a weekly match?  They play in 4 in-house tournaments.  What that means is the teams they play are other teams in the league and a few “invited” teams from other clubs.  A tournament time commitment is usually a Saturday or Sunday for about 8 hours.  During the tournament they can play anywhere from 4-6 matches against other teams.  The tournaments are spread over the course of the season – about one per month.  The league really focuses on training and skill development through practices; with a few tournaments mixed in – this is what makes it vastly different (and much better) than a typical “league”.  In a typical league, teams practice for a couple weeks, then play one match per week with very little training over the course of the season – thus very little skill development.  This is a non-travel club program.  Similar in structure to our regular club, but with no travel, and therefore less of a time commitment and less of an expense.  

MANDATORY PLAYER EVALUATIONS are for team placement purposes only.  They will be conducted in January.  Teams will be fielded and posted prior to the start of practices beginning in February

A parent MUST be present at Check-In to attend a Short Orientation Meeting.  You will have an opportunity at the Meeting to request preferred practice times.
 

All Evaluations will be in January – NOTE: We eliminated evaluations this season.  All players are to report to their first practice on Sunday, February 13th.  Look at the practice schedule below for times and locations.

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 in the back gym.
