TC Junior League is a great introduction to volleyball for athletes who are newer to the game or continuing to build their skills. No tryouts are required, and players of all experience levels are welcome.

The league includes practices and games in a fun, supportive environment that emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and confidence on the court. It’s the perfect opportunity for athletes to learn the game, stay active, and develop a love for volleyball while preparing for future competitive opportunities.

Players will be placed into one of two skill divisions: RED (Beginner) or BLACK(Intermediate).

Placement is based on overall skill level, athleticism, and coachability, not just age, determined through the preseason assessment.
