General Information:
This event is for girls 10U-12U in grades 4 – 6. This league is only for beginners in the sport of volleyball. Competitive 12U teams should not register for this league and instead register for the 12’s Division of the Power League.
The NL Youth League will be held at the Midwest Volleyball Warehouse.
Play will be held on Saturdays and Sundays at the same time the NL Power League 12U division competes. We expect to run several waves over the course of the day. We may opt to change these start times depending on the number of teams who participate as well as the final format of the games. When you register for this League (or any Single Playdates in this League), please be sure your team is available for any morning or afternoon play.
Weekly Schedules:
Weekly team competition schedules will be available on VBSchedule.com approximately 3-4 days before the playdate. Usually the schedule may be published with another event that is occurring on the same weekend as the NL Youth League date (usually the NL Power League or 12’s Cup or AAU Super Regional). There will be a division inside of the event that says “Youth League” or “Youth Division”.
