SERV Youth Summer League (June 10 - August 10)
The Youth Summer League for is ages 8-18 girls and boys to play at their level. We do not separate the athletes by age. Typically, the levels consist of the following:
Beginners Boot Camp: Young athletes who have never played organized volleyball (May 13 - June 8)
Intermediate: Stronger than Beginners; Middle School and High School athletes with less than two years of travel volleyball experience.
Advanced: The Strongest level offered for individuals who want to keep sharpening their skills. For Girls: We recommend the athletes with two or more years of travel or at least a year of JV or Varsity seasons. For Boys: Depending on the size of the individual, at least one year of organized volleyball.
We want to keep everyone safe. So, stronger players need to be in the advanced league.
