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 in three phases:

  • Phase 1: November 21-25, Jamba Fall League participants have the first opportunity to register for the league.  They will be emailed a link to our 2012 League registration on November 21.

  • Phase 2: November 26-30, Players that tried out for NW Juniors but were not selected for a team will have the opportunity to register. They will be emailed a link to our 2012 League registration on November 26.

  • Phase 3: December 1, registrations open to the general public to fill openings in the league.  We will not email out links to our registration form, we will make it available on our home page and on this page.

 

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 January and extends through April.  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. There are mandatory team placement evaluations in late-December and practices begin the beginning of January.

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. AAU affiliated 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 January through April.  One 2-hour practice will be on Sunday (no earlier than Noon), and the other one will be a 90-minute practice on a weeknight.  Because of our gym commitments, priority gym time goes to our club teams.  League team weeknight practices can go as late as 9:30 PM; so parents need to be aware of this and plan accordingly for their daughters practicing later on a school night. The side benefit is that players have no problem participating in after-school activities along with our league.

 

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 possibly a few “invited” teams from other clubs that have AAU memberships.  A tournament time commitment is usually a Sunday for about 6 hours.  During the tournament they can play anywhere from 3-6 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 at the beginning of the season, 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.  

 

2011-12 SEASON EVALUATIONS SCHEDULE -

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

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.

Teams will practice 2 days per week (including one practice on Sundays), with various scrimmage matches or skill-specific training clinics.
