*NEW PROGRAM* 2025 Jackson Friends Church Fall CO-ED Youth Volleyball League (3rd-6th Grade)

This new Co-Ed youth volleyball league will take place at Jackson Friends Church for grades 3rd-6th. It will run August 23rd - October 18th. It will include nine practices and seven games. The registration cost is $80 and includes a pizza party at the last practice and an end of year gift! Jersey kit cost is $18 and include one navy and one silver dry-fit to be worn at matches.

Teams will practice once weekly on THURSDAYS at 5:30 or 6:30 PM, with games on Saturdays at 2 PM or 3 PM. There will be NO EVALUATIONS for the volleyball league. We will have an experienced lead coach to help oversee and implement drills will all the participants and volunteer coaches for at least the first three practices of everyone practicing together, then we will split into teams for matches. We may even shift teams throughout the season, as game times and practice times will remain the same for everyone no matter what (but we will see on that). First practice/meet and greet will be on Saturday, August 23rd (the ONLY Saturday practice). First weekly practice will be on Thursday, August 28th. Practices will be one hour long, including a few minutes at the end for a devotion time. First match will be on Saturday, September 6th, 2025. Matches will be played, best of three sets (21, 21, 15), playing all three sets no matter what. We will have one head referee on each court. We will split into a 3rd/4th grade division and 5th/6th grade division. Matches will be played 6 vs 6, with a maximum of 10 players on each team. THERE WILL BE NO ACTIVITIES SATURDAY, AUGUST 30th, LABOR DAY WEEKEND.

*Would you like your child to play for FREE this fall? We have something special to offer for our 2025 YOUTH sports programs. Thanks to the generosity of a donor from our church, that wants more JFC sports families to hear about the good news of Jesus, we can offer a FULL REFUND of league registration fees for families that attend FOUR church services, between August 24th and October 19th. Service is at 10:30 AM each week all you need to do is check in at the welcome center each time (just outside the sanctuary)!* If you need more information, please email [email protected]

WE NEED COACHES. Please sign up to coach if you can spare an hour on a Thursday night and a Saturday each week (we can be flexible if you have to miss sometimes). We have everything you need to be a great coach! ($10 off coupon for next registration with us)

The league is recreational and will focus on developing youth's volleyball fundamentals/skills, as well as their relationship with Jesus Christ. Youth will learn good practice techniques and develop interpersonal and teamwork skills.

The league will be split up into two divisions:

3rd/4th Grade

5th/6th Grade

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COACHING, and want more info, please contact director Joel Bankert through email @ [email protected]
