Registration & Team Information:
All skill levels are invited to participate in our recreational league. Our league is made up of two divisions: 3rd – 4th grades and 5th – 6th grades, boys & girls. EmBe reserves the right to mix players from different schools to form teams. League organizers do their best to accommodate special requests and preferred practice days, but preferred placement is not guaranteed. Each team will be led by two volunteer coaches and meet one day each week for a one hour practice. Registration closes December 8 at 5pm. Limited spots available in each division! 

Practice Information:
Practices will start the week of January 5. Practices will take place at EmBe Downtown, EmBe South, or a local gym for one hour between 5:30pm – 8:45pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Practice is led by two volunteer coaches. If your team does not have the two required coaches, your team cannot move forward with a season. Our coaches’ practice plans will now incorporate critical life skills that will help grow the players on and off the court! Coaches can decide if they want to follow our practice plans or use their own; however, we strongly encourage them to incorporate the life skills either way.

Clinic Information – Winter Season Only: 
We are excited to announce that we are partnering with University of Sioux Falls (USF) volleyball team again to lead three volleyball clinics this season. During clinic weeks, players will build on their volleyball skills with tips and tricks from USF’s volleyball experts to help the players become more confident in their skills. Coaches will use what experts have taught the players during their practice weeks. Our goal is that all participants gain new volleyball skills, work as a team and foster a love for the game.

Clinics will start the week of  January 19. The first two weeks of the season are a practice weeks, then we will start rotating clinic and practice week every other week until the end of the season. Clinics may not be held at the same location, time and day of the week as your team’s practice.  Clinics are led by USF Volleyball Players on Mondays or Wednesdays at our EmBe facilities ONLY. When we have a clinic week, we will not be holding practice that same week.
