Winter Development League

About the Lions Jrs. Winter Development League:

The Lions Jrs. Winter League is a no-cut, in-house volleyball league for boys and girls up through 1st-8th grade. **Boys note if we cannot get enough to fill a full boys team we will combine to make a coed team.

Teams are coached by 1st Alliance VBC- affiliated club players and experienced parent coaches, with practices run by Lions Jrs. staff.

The Lions Jrs. Winter League has experienced tremendous growth since its inception in 2008, with hundreds of players and dozens of teams competing annually.

 

Parent Coaches Information: 

****Please note: For the winter league a Lions staff member will be at each session to help run the league, but you as the parent coach will be expected to “coach” your team. You will receive a practice plan each week and will then run your team through the practice. (Lions Coaches are there to help you teach technique and help moderate drills, but not run your team practice)

Parent Testimonies

Good morning! I wanted to reach out to thank you for a wonderful volleyball experience! Amelia and her teammates had so much fun and learned a lot of fundamental skills that they will carry with them always. We truly appreciate your patience and hard work. Amelia beyond enjoyed herself and winning the tournament was super exciting! 

 

Thanks again, 

 

Katelyn Lojkutz and Family 

 

 

Hi Melissa,
