THE CENTER - Youth League
The Center is excited to offer for the second year in a row, an opportunity for athletes to join our Center Summer Volleyball Youth League. Teams will have 2 sessions options to choose from.
SESSION 1: June/July SESSION 2: July/August
HOW YOUTH LEAGUE WORKS
Athletes are to find a team of 6 players within their appropriate age category and will have the chance to compete against other 6’s from around Edmonton and surrounding areas at The Center. Age categories are distributed as follows: U13/14, U15/16 and U17/18.
Athletes are to create teams of 6 players and register as a single team, OR athletes can register as an individual player and we will create a team for them with other athletes who have registered as individuals as well. Teams just need to ensure they have a minimum of 6 players always present on their night of play. Our goal is to provide athletes with an opportunity to compete in 6 on 6 game play in a league format.
Registrations will be taken on a first come, first serve basis for both sessions.
