MBA Volleyball is for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. The grades are separated into different leagues.     


Season will begin week of August 18th and runs through October 6th. There are typically 8 - 10 players on a team. Teams are selected based on random draws and skill level only.    


With the exception of the end-of-season tournament, games will normally be played on Sunday afternoons in the MBHS old gym at times ranging from 2:00pm - 6:00pm.    


Practices:  For 6th grade will be offered on Mondays ONLY (so doesn't conflict with ballroom) at either 6:00pm - 7:00pm or 7:15pm - 8:15pm. For 5th grade, Tuesday OR Wednesday evenings from 7:15pm - 8:15pm. For 4th grade, Tuesday OR Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm - 7:00pm. Each team will practice once a week at a set time each week and a game on Sunday. All regular events will be held at the MBHS old gym. If you have a conflict with a practice day, please note it on your registration. No guarantees will be made regarding the conflict. Practices will be led by a college-level volleyball athlete. Each player will be required to bring their own Volley-lite volleyball.  


Parents, please consider being a coach, even if you have little to no experience with volleyball. All practices are run by a hired volleyball professional and parent coaches are at practices for support. Parent coaches will coach their team on Sunday games and be responsible for communications as needed.   


It is our intent that this be a recreational endeavor, with more emphasis placed on exercise, skill improvement, and fun than on records, wins, and losses. We believe that volleyball is an ideal sport at the beginner and intermediate levels to foster these goals.
