PYAA Travel/Club Teams – Take Your Game to the Next Level! ($250)
PYAA Travel Volleyball is a coed competitive program competing in the Mid-Ohio Volleyball League (12-team league). This program is designed for athletes who are ready to move beyond recreational play and challenge themselves at a higher level. We are seeking dedicated players in grades 3–6 who live within the Pickerington Local School District boundaries. 

Projected Team Structure: 
Each team will have 7-10 players based on available talent. Team formation will be based strictly on available talent. We will not form teams simply to fill spots—our priority is maintaining a competitive and developmentally appropriate experience. 

* 1 Team: Grades 3–4
* 1 Team: 5th Grade
* 1-2 Teams: 6th Grade
***Unfortunately, the league we are joining does not have an option for Teams Above Grade 6. (Grades 7-12 will have Rec teams only)

Expectations for PYAA Club/Travel
* Players committing to a PYAA Club/Travel Team must commit to attending 2 Practices Per Week (Mon-Thursday)
* Grades 3-4 will Practice 90 minutes 2x Week
* Grade 5 will Practice 2 Hours 2x Week
* Grade 6 will Practice 2 Hours 2x Week
* Players committing to a PYAA Club/Travel Team must Commit to attending 1 Match Per Weekend (Sat/Sun)

Team Selection & Structure

* All players will be evaluated based on skill level and placed on either a Travel Team or Recreational Team to ensure the best developmental fit. 
* No PYAA Rec Coaches or Parents will be permitted inside the gym during Travel Evaluations. 
* Players will be evaluated by Former/Current College Players, Current HS/JH and Club Coaches outside of the PYAA Organization
* No Parent Coaches for Travel Teams (We are exhausting all contacts and resources to ensure this happens)

***Volleyball is unique in that playing up a division is common. If a travel team is not formed at a specific grade level, players may opt to try out for the next grade up, where they will be evaluated against that group’s standards.

* August 17: First week of Practices
* August 28: First Friday Night Skills Session
* September 5: Games will Begin
* September 26: Team Pictures
* Oct 31: End of Season Tournament!

PYAA Recreational Divisions
Lil Spiker's (Grades 1-2) $90
 The Lil Spikers Division is designed for players in grades 1–2, focusing on fun, engaging skills and drills that build a strong foundation in fundamental volleyball techniques.

There are no Saturday games at this level. Instead, players will participate in two scheduled Showcase Days, where they can demonstrate their skills and earn points for their team in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

This program was a favorite among both players and parents last year, and we’re committed to making it even better this season. Each player will receive a jersey, a skill bag, and a Molten Light Touch volleyball.

This division is for players entering into Grades 3-4. Teams consist of 8 players per team to ensure all players are receiving the attention needed to develop proper fundamentals and skills.  This grade practices once a week and has a game on Saturdays between 9AM-Noon.
