Littleton Youth Sports Volleyball participates in the Arapahoe Youth League (AYL). We offer teams for boys & girls ages 5-14. We are a developmental volleyball league stressing the fundamental volleyball skills, sportsmanship and fun. We strive to provide a true sports academy for athletes to learn to play and love the sport, and to develop coaches to make this goal possible.
Teams are organized by grade level. 1st grade & Under, 2nd-7th grade, and Senior (8th & 9th Graders). There are two divisions of play at each level (AFC & NFC). Players are allowed to play up one grade level but may not play down a grade level. This is a coed program. To develop the K/1 players, the emphasis is on having fun while learning the very basic skills of volleyball. To help insure this, scores are not kept, matches consist of three games of 15 minutes, and players continuously rotate through each of the four positions on the court.
The Season:
Games are played on Saturdays. Each team will play eight (8) regular season games mid March through mid May. All teams are invited to participate in the postseason volleyball tournament. The tournament is single elimination with the championship games to be played no later than one week after the playoff games.

Momentum Field House (at Skyview Academy)

Highlands Ranch 80130

Practices:
Practices will begin in early March, or as soon as gym space becomes available in the Littleton area. During the season, each team can expect one to two practices per week.
Team Formation:
If you are new to the Littleton Youth Sports Volleyball program and have a desire to have your son or daughter placed on a team with a friend, or a particular coach please note this on your registration. Although we cannot guarantee, we will do our best to place kids with friends or schoolmates. Teams will be capped at no more than 10 players so that all players have appropriate court time. Once registration closes on January 31st your player will be placed on a team, and your coach will contact you. In the event we do not have enough volunteer coaches to accommodate the number of registered players, your name will be placed on a waiting list in the order in which your registration was received.
Uniforms:
All players are required to wear their assigned complete uniform with the correct roster number on the uniform in order to play in an AYL match. Shorts with logos, writing or colored piping are not allowed. Knee pads are strongly encouraged to be worn at practices and games. Team sock style may be determined by individual teams. You will be notified when uniforms are available for purchase, they are additional to the registration fee.
Volleyball Fees:
- K/1st grade: $100
- 2nd-9th graders: $150
Volunteer Opportunities:
Please consider volunteering as a coordinator, coach, assistant coach, or a team-parent for the 2012 season.
