The SYA Fall volleyball program offers many opportunities for girls to be instructed in everything from fundamental skills to advanced team competition. As a feeder program for Smithsburg High girls volleyball, the program is designed to prepare area girls for what they can expect as a part of a premier high school program.
In-House league:
Is designed for middle school girls that want to test their skills in competition, but may never have played before or are not quite ready for the intense competition of the travel league. Girls participating in the house league get quality coaching and instruction, and as part of a team, learn the basics of positions and team play techniques. House league teams are formed with the intent of promoting balanced competition, which allows for more exciting play.
In-House league play provides a rewarding experience that gets competitive juices flowing in a friendly, low-pressure atmosphere. It is ideal for middle school girls who want to hone their skills and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team.
Travel League
This league is highly competitive for girls in grades 6 - 8 with the most advanced skills. The girls compete in a league with teams from around Washington County in the fall, culminating in a championship tournament for the 8th grade team.
Skills Assessment
Skills assessments are conducted in order to identify the level of play most appropriate for each player, and in the case of the in-house league, to balance the teams and promote even competition. Players that display the highest skill levels may be invited to participate on their grade's travel team.
