Huron Valley Rec and Community Ed

Join HV United Volleyball Club coaches for a 1.5 hour open gym to come and work on your skills and get some touches. We will offer structured activities but not 1 on 1 training/coaching. We will run 2 courts: 1 court will be for incoming 6th and 7th graders and 1 court will be for incoming 8th and 9th graders. If there is an incoming 5th grader with club experience who is interested in joining the younger group, please contact us at Shannon.Loso@hvs.org to discuss an exception. Players who attend these open gyms should have played organized middle school volleyball and/or travel volleyball. The drills will be fast paced and players will be expected to have a handle on the basic skills so games can be productive and useful.

Join us for this brand new league for 6th graders to play for their school in an intramural setting. This is for players who did not make the 7th grade team this fall OR chose not to try out just yet but are ready for the next step beyond recreation volleyball. Players should be players who have played before (preferably even club volleyball). This will be a great prep step leading into middle school MHSAA ball next fall. We will make exceptions for players new to the game if they demonstrate athletic ability that will allow them to compete with the level of this program. We will allow 1 non-HVS team to join as well so we have an even 4 teams for matches each week. Each team will consist of 10-12 players from their school. Registration will close Sept 10, by then everyone should know if your child made the 7th grade team or not. Registration fees will not be collected until September 6th, that way if you register now and your child makes the team, you do not have to pay the fee until tryouts are completed. We would like to secure 2 coaches per team and in lieu of paying the coaches, we will waive the entire registration fee for each coach for their time. If you are interested in being a coach for one of these teams, please respond accordingly during registration. If we are able to secure a non-parent coach, we will compensate them for their time. Scholarships are available, as needed as well. Please contact us at Shannon.Loso@hvs.org for those details. Practices will be Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-7:30 p.m. or 7:30-9 p.m. at your home school and matches will be on Friday nights at one of the HVS middle schools. The plan is to host a playoff on the final night of play, all 4 teams will play 2 matches. The winners of the first match will play for 1st and 2nd and the losers of the first match will play for 3rd and 4th.

Learn the fundamentals of soccer as well as the importance of teamwork through Youth Soccer. Everyone plays and everyone is part of the team. Kids develop important soccer skills, including passing, dribbling, shooting and working as a team in a fun and supportive environment. Not only will children have an opportunity to advance skills, but they'll also build social skills, gain confidence and develop leadership skills.
