Men's & Women's Volleyball Registration is Open

Men’s & Women’s Volleyball is back this fall with a ten-week season beginning on August 30 and ending with a post-season tournament November 4-9. Registration is open now through August 5 at 4:30 p.m. Late registration is one day only on Friday, August 6 until 4:30 p.m. and is subject to a $50 late fee. There are three key steps to registration: 1) Players register individually; 2) Team manager registers the team; and 3) Team manager submits Roster/Classification Sheet with a minimum of 6 registered players (due by 4:30 p.m. on August 5 to avoid the $50 late fee).

In addition, the winter shelter rate of $20 is lower than the summer shelter rate due to reduced maintenance. Maintenance will vary depending on weather and staff availability.
