Every child plays -- no tryouts or cuts. Most youth players are NEW to the sport of volleyball, all are welcome!
Volleyball is open to children who are currently in grades 4-9*.

Standard Registration Deadline
All registrations received after the standard registration deadline will be held until teams are formed. Players will only be assigned to teams with an unfilled roster.
Every attempt will be made to place kids whose registration forms is received after the deadline; however, players are not guaranteed team placement.

Players will be notified of their team assignment via phone from the head coach. Players who have not heard from a coach by September 30 should contact Red & Ed office at 734-994-2300 ext. 53254.
Participants are assigned to school teams based on their public school attendance areas. Ten players are assigned to each team (eight players in grade 4/5), although occasionally a team’s coach may request more players for his or her team. If two teams are formed for the same grade from the same school, coaches and Rec & Ed staff will assign players to teams in accordance with departmental guidelines to ensure equally-balanced teams.
Consult Youth Player Placement for detailed information.
Combo Teams
If not enough players from the same grade and school register, participants may be assigned to teams with participants from different attendance areas. It is not rare for combo teams, or teams with participants from two or more different schools to be formed. If your child’s school has filled its primary team roster, a combo team will be formed. Players whose registrations are received during the priority registration period are placed on the primary school team first.
Special Requests
If you have any special requests you would like us to consider, for example, to have your child assigned with a specific coach or teammate, you must fill out the Special Request question when registering online or on the registration form. We regret that we cannot guarantee special requests placed after the priority registration period.
Charter, Parochial, Private, and Out-of-District Public Schools
Charter, parochial, private, and out-of-district public school teams can be formed if all grade requirements standards are satisfied and registration deadlines met. Registration must be open for all students that attend these schools. We require a minimum of eight players be registered for a team to be formed.

Teams are coached and assisted by volunteers, many of whom are parents. Coaches and team parents are always needed! If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the volunteer question when registering online or the Adult Volunteer section of the registration form. The 2013 Coaches' meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 19 at 6:30 pm at the Rec & Ed office, 1515 S. 7th.
