We are excited about our Upward volleyball league this season! Girls of all skill levels in grades 3rd-8th are welcome to participate.
Our coaches and volunteers invest not only in helping children learn and improve their mental and physical abilities, but also guide them to grow spiritually by learning the values of discipline, good sportsmanship, and being an encouragement to others. (And of course, they’ll have fun!)
