EmBe Youth Volleyball program provides kids an opportunity to learn the skills of the game in a recreational, non-competitive, environment.

EmBe and Kairos Elite Volleyball Club with Avera Sports have collaborated to bring an even greater volleyball experience to youth! With a shared vision to positively influence the lives of youth through volleyball; area kids will benefit from the knowledge offered by the two organizations, providing a seamless experience that fits each child. More than 1000 youth benefit from the EmBe and Kairos partnership. We offer two seasons of league play; one in the winter (Jan.-April) and one in the fall (Sept.-Nov.). Teams in each league will be formed according to grade and school attending with ten youth and two volunteer coaches each. Our league is broken into two divisions; 3rd-4th grades and 5th-6th grades.

COVID-19 Changes for Fall 2020 Season

In order to keep every safe, we must adhere to the following COVID-19 related rules of the Avera Human Performance Center. These policies are in place to limit the number of people in the building to be able to provide opportunities for social distancing. These policies are subject to change.

Anyone that enters the Avera HPC building must have their temperature taken and answer a series of COVID-19 related questions.

Only one spectator can accompany each player to practices and games. We are working with Avera to possibly be able to livestream Saturday games for more family members to enjoy.

All spectators must be masked.

To limit exposure (leaving and coming back), games will be played back to back. For example, (tentatively) plan your schedule around game blocks of 8-10am and 10:30am-12:30pm.

On game days, only one game ball will be used per court. Teams can play a coach tossed “mini game” the first 5-10 minutes to allow the kids to warm up.
