Northwest Volleyball promotes participation in a quality program that provides a positive and safe athletic environment through a variety of developmental and competitive opportunities for junior teams of all ages, skills levels, and diverse groups.  It is important to us to maintain year-round volleyball opportunities for junior players of all ages and skill levels.  In addition to our ever-popular indoor summer camps, we offer a wide variety of outdoor programs.

Many people do not realize that USA Volleyball is the National Governing Body for the sport of beach volleyball in the United States. USA Volleyball runs and manages the USA Beach National Volleyball Teams, the USA Beach Olympic Teams, and also USA Youth and Junior Beach National Teams for each gender. They also host a beach series that leads to a National Championship Tournament -- Northwest Volleyball has operated a stop on that tour since its inception.  In an effort to bring sand volleyball to our region, Northwest Volleyball organizes a beach clinic and sand volleyball series girls and boys throughout the summer.  We hope that this will broaden the interest in the game of sand volleyball in our region and in the Northwest.

 

The USAV and Northwest Volleyball sand programs work to advance sand volleyball talent and build a broader and stronger pipeline of athletes and coaches for our U.S. Olympic Teams. The USAV and Northwest Volleyball's Sand Programs are the "pipeline" for young beach volleyball athletes who aspire to reach the elite level of their sport and who dream of representing the United States on the Beach National Volleyball Team.

The Northwest Volleyball Junior Sand Doubles Series offers opportunities to accumulate points during the regular sand season for both junior boy’s and girl’s based on tournament results. These points will be used to seed teams into the season ending Northwest Junior Beach Doubles and Fours Championships being held Labor Day Weekend. In addition we offer a fours hybrid game (between doubles and sixes) that still offers players the opportunity to maximize contacts but has an indoor game feel to it.  Finally, we also offer two opportunities for juniors to get their parents involved with some parent-child tournaments.

The Junior Sand Division is for ages 20 & under.  Age Divisions:

Northwest Volleyball  gives members more opportunities to play volleyball through it's grass programs. Grass volleyball is great during the summer months when you want to get outside and play (rather than being in a gym) but you may not be close to the beach or just do not want to deal with the elements that come with sand volleyball.  Grass volleyball is a great opportunity to play with your friends in a local outdoor tournament or in a league.  We offer opportunities to play via the following programs:

• Junior Outdoor Fours Grass League (North Seattle, Eastside)

• Washington State Games Grass Tournament, July 10 (Sixes) and July 11 (Doubles) (USAV Membership not required)
