The focus of this league is to allow athletes not on a club team to have a place to play volleyball. Leave the spots for athletes who are not on a club team.

Embark on an exclusive journey of athletic development with our League, a unique opportunity designed for individuals grades 6-8 as of March 12, 2025. This isn't just another sports opportunity; it's a transformative experience focused on instilling punctuality, fairness, and teamwork values.

At the heart of the League lies a commitment to fostering leadership, teamwork, and skill development. Our nine-player teams, comprising six on the court and three substitutes, ensure fair play and equal participation. Sessions are held on Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 pm, immersing athletes in six 15-minute games. Each game introduces a new starting position and group of athletes, promoting versatility and adaptability.

The League challenges athletes to push their limits, emphasizing personal growth and elevating teammates. A coveted "royalty of the court" title awaits the individual who accumulates the most points over the eight weeks (3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and no points for a loss).

It's essential to note that the League operates on a no-grade-group-changing policy. Missing a week means no points, and refunds are not provided, reinforcing the commitment to personal responsibility and accountability.

Our pilot project prioritizes affordability. On Wednesday, we utilize a familiar venue to create a positive and developmental environment for all participants. Athletes are encouraged to bring a warm-up volleyball and keep track of their equipment as they transition to a different court every 15 minutes.

The games unfold every Wednesday from March 12 to April 30, 2025, spanning eight weeks and accommodating only 18 athletes. This developmental League is meticulously crafted to replace informal pickup games with structured peer learning guided by the principles of discovery learning.

Unlike traditional coaching models, our League refrains from direct instruction during games. Instead, players are encouraged to derive theory and skills from the dynamic environment, fostering experiential learning and enhancing self-reliance, independence, and creativity.

This approach might differ from conventional methods. Still, allowing players to shape their learning experience actively will lead to profound personal and athletic growth. For those seeking more instructional sessions, our academy offers regular classes dedicated to skill development.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we hope the unique experience our developmental League provides aligns with your expectations. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Remember, this isn't just a League; it's a groundbreaking venture into discovery learning, a pathway to building confidence, independence, and self-learning in our young athletes. Join us on this transformative journey, where each week brings new challenges and opportunities for growth.

Games will be at the Henk Ruys Soccer Center.
