INFORMATION

For more information or questions, please contact Jasmina Nelson at (605) 681-8329 or jnelson@embe.org.

EmBe Volleyball 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 youth an excellent volleyball experience! 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-March) and one in the fall (Sept-Nov). We build teams according to grade and school attending, with ten youth and two volunteer coaches each. Leagues have two divisions; 3rd-4th grades and 5th-6th grades.

EmBe will not be offering a Fall 2022 Volleyball Season in order to allow us time to reorganize the program. Look for additional information about the Winter Season in October.
