Why should you sign up for USYVL?
Each league follows a handful of guiding philosophies that ensure the success of USYVL programs.
Open Registration
Our leagues are open to all children ages 7-15 who want to learn and play volleyball. Interest and enthusiasm for volleyball are the only requirements for playing with USYVL! All programs are eight weeks long and meet twice per week. One day is for practices while the other day is for games (two 25-minute games).
Every Child Plays
Our goal is for each child to learn and play volleyball. Our programs ensure that each child has the opportunity to actively participate as a member of the team. No prior volleyball experience is required. A volleyball instructor is on site for each practice and game.
Balanced Teams
We require that every site at the beginning of each season create teams that are evenly balanced. It is more fun when teams are constructed with equal ability. Our four-person format allows kids to play every position. Teams are grouped by four age ranges: 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, and 13-15. Ages are defined according to how old participants are on November 1st of the current year. All teams in the league are coed.
Positive Coaching
Positive coaching generates a great spirit to help each child learn and develop volleyball skills. We train and encourage our coaches to make the extra effort to understand the needs of each player and offer positive instruction to participants rather than negative criticism. Instruction includes learning the basics of the game including: serving, setting, passing, spiking, and blocking.
Good Sportsmanship
We create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude. Our programs are designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of USYVL.

We are excited to announce that Calabasas and Folsom will have their first season of Advanced Juniors this year. We are always looking for new locations and areas that are ready to offer more options for boys and girls searching for more advanced levels of volleyball.

The Advanced Juniors program is for intermediate and advanced players to prepare and assist their transition from four-player instructional leagues to competitive indoor competition with a six-player format. The goal of the Advanced Juniors program is to create a pathway for players to advance to a higher level of competition such as High School or Club volleyball. The program is open to boys and girls ages 12-16.

Last week USYVL headed on over to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the annual AVCA Convention.
What is the AVCA convention you may ask?
The AVCA Convention is a chance for coaches, players, and really anyone who enjoys volleyball to network and attend seminars and panels to learn more about developing the sport of volleyball.
We were there at booth 841 offering attendees a free shirt if they could do one of three simple tasks.
Just take a look at some of our winners.
Not only did we get to learn more about coaching and volleyball but we were able to see some familiar faces.
It was such a treat being able to see former USYVL players attending the convention as adults looking to further their knowledge in volleyball!
Oh and of course there was the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship matches.
Congratulations to the Stanford Women’s Volleyball Team on their eighth championship win!
The P1440 Huntington beach event took place this weekend. Thanks to those who joined us!
We had several USYVL families attend and enjoy, not only the high level volleyball matches, but the cool activities offered.
Platform 1440 is leading the way to give athletes the chance to have a sustainable living playing the sport they love.
USYVL was there on Saturday, December 1st supporting their vision.
We invited USYVL families and friends to join us at Huntington State Beach, and all those who came received a super cool Beach 2028 shirt!
Let’s get ready for Santa Monica Beach 2028!
We hope you are enjoying a restful and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday weekend with your families. We at the USYVL are so thankful for our community of players, parents, volunteers and staff that make our programs possible. For over 20 years, we have aimed to provide every child between the ages of 7 and 15 a chance to learn and play volleyball in a fun, safe, supervised environment. We continue to expand our traditional leagues to new locations and are excited about the growing interest in our Advanced Juniors and Camp programs that are designed for kids looking for a more competitive experience where we focus on improving skills at a higher level with experienced coaches and more traditional game play. Whether our players go on to play at the collegiate level, as many have, or just recreationally we take pride in knowing that we can provide a foundation for kids to learn volleyball in a fun and safe environment.
