Girls Spring Volleyball League

The March to June spring season is dedicated to girls volleyball. The program was started in 2012 and has grown to over 800 players with 150+ volunteer coaches and 70+ teams, making it one of the largest youth volleyball programs in the area.

Our main goal for each season is simple - we hope each player wants to play volleyball again after the season ends, whether it's in our league, in a club program, or for an intramural or club team in college. We - the McLean Youth Volleyball volunteer staff - love playing and coaching volleyball, and we hope your daughter's involvement with our program either begins or continues a life-long journey of playing volleyball and enjoying all the benefits that this sport provides.

Program Structure

The spring season has nine (9) leagues across three categories:

"Select" is for girls looking for a more competitive experience:

"Travel" is the most competitive for girls interested in keeping their skills fresh for the next school season:

Which League Should I Register For? The House leagues are open to everyone regardless of skill and past volleyball experience, while the MS Select, HS Select, and HS Travel leagues are for more advanced players who are not already playing for a club team. Whichever league you target, everyone must first register based in school grade. The Select and Travel leagues require a tryout which is optional. Those who earn a spot on a MS Select, HS Select or HS Travel team will have their registrations automatically transferred to the appropriate league. All others are assigned to the House league.

When Are Practices? During the spring, MYA Volleyball has access to most public school gyms in the McLean-area from Monday through Friday between 5:30pm and 9:00pm. Each House, HS Select, and HS Travel team practices once per week for 90 minutes on a dedicated court, while MS Select teams practice twice a week. During registration, participants indicate which weekday evenings are available for practices and other special requests (friends, coaches, etc.). Our schedulers then work to assign each player to a team that practices on an available evening while honoring special requests.

When Are Matches? Matches in all leagues are on Saturdays between 9:00am and 6:00pm at schools in the greater McLean area. House leagues play one 60-minute match (3 games) while Select and Travel leagues play one 90-minute match (5 games). The scheduling software randomly selects the start times, locations and opponents.
